5 QUARTYR, 1579
In midst of session, Republicans build tenuous Senate coalition
Leading Republicans acquiesce to Democratic requests, bring aboard two Independents
THE CAPITOL - The Republican Caucus announced today that they have reached a tentative coalition agreement with the Democratic Caucus as well as two Independent members of the Senate, giving the combined caucus a total of 42 of the 79 seats, two more than required for a majority. The Republican Party suffered serious political damage within the Senate in the days following the start of the Senate session, after Federalists and Democrats walked out of coalition talks with Republicans and the two parties subsequently called out Republican lawmakers on what some Federalists termed as "a slap in the face of our good kindness for a just and capable government".
In this second round of coalition talks, the Federalists flatly refused to negotiate with the Republicans, saying that their partnership with the largest party in the Senate was effectively over. The Democrats were clearly apprehensive but did agree to the sit-down, while two of the three Senate Independents also joined in the talks. The only Independent not involved, Darius Sorex of Bramwell, declined to be engaged in talks since he was elected Senate Floor Leader. The agreement, which came out to be a memorandum of understanding, was signed by Republican, Democratic and Independent members before the start of Senate business today.
The agreement quelled any talk of dissolving the Senate by the Emperor and calmed down general fears of a weakened government so soon after an Imperial victory in the 1578 referendum and it placed confidence back in the government. But, it is very likely that the holdout has done considerable damage to the Republican brand and may have sent some of their supporters into other parties, namely the Democratic or Federalist parties as well as given fuel to the fire of opposition Conservatives and Orthodox Conservatives who claim Republicans cannot run a smooth government operation and warn of considerable risk to the Imperial system as a whole.
