"It is far from in our favor," Maki replied, after a moment of thought. "Kazemura is currently quite unpopular in Chikasu. Perhaps its the lack of a balance of power, or maybe it's the resurgence of imperial political power in Kazemura. The simple fact is that Chikasuns are worried that Kazemura will use this treaty as a stepping stone to dominating Chikasu. This fear, as unfounded as it is, has made even members of my own party oppose the trade deal. It's arguably to the point where pursuing it is pointless, unlikely to bear any good fruit. I'm afraid tonight was likely the only opportunity to get it through the Senate."
The second of Tolven was the first workday after the Chikasun golden week and the date the Chikasun Parliament would return to session. While it was not scheduled to discuss the trade agreement with Kazemura until the third, Maki doubted the political atmosphere would change much in her favor. Quite the opposite, she feared that the Parliament would return with enough evidence of her wrongdoings to finish her. They certainly had a few more bullets to use against her now.
The more she thought about it, the more attractive simply resigning seemed. Where did things go wrong? She went from the most popular President in Chikasun history to one days, perhaps hours from impeachment. From surrounded with the brightest minds of Chikasu to only her partner and a foreign ambassador. Her partner and an ambassador....
"We don't have much to work with," she continued, setting that line of thought aside. "My political clout is exhausted, my public support is on its death bed. The media pounces at me at every opportunity. The intelligence services are investigating me." She sighed, rubbing her forehead. "The only persons who haven't turned their back are maybe the old guard, thank my late father."
