The official seat counts: New coalition (LWB/ND/U/R) - 176, new opposition (PP/G/SD/SL/FB) - 171.

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

It appears that the coalition is in favor of SLU membership & against monarchism. Neutrality shall be maintained on matters related to the NSLeft, even though New Lettia holds an ambassadorial role in The Leftist Assembly, an NSLeft member region.

According to many sources, the economy was the main unifying issue, with the parties taking compromises on SLU Membership, the NSLeft, Monarchism and various social issues, just to keep the incumbent government out.

BREAKING: Joe Holman (Unity, centre-right) has become PM as coalition negotiations have concluded with centrist New Democrats; right-wing Republicans and far-left LWB in confidence & supply. That leaves incumbent PM Vanessa Thurmond (Social Democrats, centre-left) in opposition.

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

The final result has now been confirmed & negotiations have begun between Unity and the Republicans: key issues expected to be SLU membership and, possibly, monarchism. Note: you need 174 seats for a majority, but U/R have 138 (36 more needed).

It's been just over 2 hours since the polls closed and with some official results now in we're able to create a more accurate projection. #newlettiadecides

It's important to note that due to the parliamentary election here in New Lettia, the government is incapable of responding to the events in Austerain and no action can legally be taken until a new Speaker of Parliament is elected. #newlettiadecides

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

Multiple sources: If the exit poll is accurate, FB & G will go into official opposition, won't enter any coalition negotiations. Thus Unity are effectively guaranteed to become a coalition party. #newlettiadecides

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

Mr. Enderson, political analyst: "What coalition is even possible right now? The current one has collapsed, Unity can't build a coalition unless they work with FB, PP, LWB or a ruling party & all are highly unlikely, and the SD need support from the far-left. 😅 We may be stuck."

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

First comments: We knew that Unity, PP will gain seats, but noone thought that they would gain 43 seats in total. Ridiculous.

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

Exit poll: Unity largest party; the SD/SL/G/FB coalition go from 180 to 119 seats; People's Party gain the most seats (up from 22 to 51).

[ntninfo @ntninfo]

Most polls up to tonight have been indicating that we will have a clear change of power, with the Greens (coalition party) really struggling, even going to last place in the most recent survey.
