The Legislating Chamber of the Federal Assembly

[Denil, Florinthus] The so-called "West Brigidna Union" is now a near certainty after the final hurdle to its creation was passed after a most contentious voting process in the Federal Assembly resulted in a win for unionites.

While the final vote tally of 117-73 doesn't seem like a very close margin it was anything but, as many key voters were seemingly on the fence until the week of the vote. Prime Minister Gouhlaman admitted following the vote that even he was not perfectly certain it would be approved until the votes were cast.

Nays came primarily from the Liberals and what is left of the National Labour Party, though some turncoats voted for Union, much to the chagrine of those in party leadership. As well there were a few Centrists nays coming from those who preferred Florinthus go it alone rather than bind itself to three states who are markedly more conservative than Florinthus.

The Centrist and Green coalition that has run the Federal Assembly for the better part of a decade however sees tis result as a great victory. Cooperation, so they say, is the way of the future, and binding these four like-minded peoples into one ensures a strong and bountiful future for all of them. What is to be seen is how these four peoples will cooperate in government, as there are some marked differences politically among the four members.

Public response has been somewhat mixed, though many are happy for the process to be finished, as the political climate had been growing incredibly hostile and with the final decision being made people can now look forward to what the future holds. For many this is seen as a logical next step as it's already incredibly easy to travel to Oslanburg, Galeae, and Vienland and many of the nations laws are already similar or at the very least conciliatory and understanding of the differences. Still others are irate at the result, and Oslanburgan flags are already being burned in places like Wilmington, where opposition to union has been the most fierce.

Great changes will be coming to West Brigidna in the coming months. Time will tell whether these changes are positive or negative.
