September 22nd 5624

Dolgavans are waking up and not sure who won last night. The results are in, but the margins are thin, extremely thin. The two contending parties, the Dolgavanas Piena Partija (DPP), (Dolgavan Dairy Party) and the Dolgavas Konservatīvā Partija (DKP) both stand within a percent of each other in the national poll, and a one seat difference in the Reiksaima. The results are stunning and very clear.

DPP: 48.7%% - 92 seats
DKP: 47.9% - 91 seats
DSP: 2.8% - 6 seats
Others/Independents: 0.6% - 0 seats

The Government sits with a single seat above the challenging party, the Conservatives, with Jaanus Jogi, and his government now in a precarious situation. His fall from 125 seats 5 years ago, shows the challenge that Toivo Meri and the Conservatives have put up. In the Dairy Party camp, they were not happy with the result tonight, some wanted to hope that the polls were wrong, that Jannus Jogi, would sweep to yet another election victory, however tonight, his government stands on the edge of a electoral cliff.

The Conservatives celebrated tonight, as if they won. However they are sitting at 91 seats, and with the evaporation of independent MP's in the Reiksaima, they now have to make a difficult choice, work with the DPP, or the SDP. The Social Democrats are a non starter, as the Conservatives have stated clearly that they will not work with them at all!

The DPP has somewhat more wiggle room. they have not ruled out the SDP, however many of the the DPP, MP's could very well start a vote of non confidence motion against their own government, if the SDP is included in a coalition.

The DPP could also form a minority government, as they will get the first shot to form a Government and send it to the Queen, if they can get the DKP to form a working coalition with them, it might ensure that the Reiksaima at least for now, runs smoothly, and prevents yet another snap election.

Political commentators across the country are saying a another election is "inevitable" and pollsters are frantically trying to get new polls out into the public eye, showing that aftermath of this election. For now both parties will have to go into negotiations, and until we get a clear result, we will just have to wait and see!

The biggest loser of the night is the Dolgavas Sociāldemokrātiskā Partija (Dolgavan Social Democratic Party) which has been wandering in the political desert of obscurity for years now, and polls showed them taking 9-11% of the vote up until the election. However the drastically under performed, and got 2.8% of the vote nationwide, and only 6 seats. The leader of the DSP [font=sans-serif]Helgi Ruutli[/font] called the result a "great failure" and resigned her position as party leader, leaving the DSP to scramble to find a new leader as they have a slight chance of making it in a confidence and supply agreement. Despite winning only 6 seats, 4 of the 6 are brand new politicians to the political seen, and could make a splash in the DSP.

For now we can only wait and see what will happen, who do you think will come out in government? Or are we getting another election? Take some time and fill out our post election poll!
