This morning Rotovia's most divided Senate in decades was sworn in by the Magistrate of Athens. The official first session of the new Senate were delayed by extremely tight election results in many coastal townships and strict electoral laws that require a mandatory recount on all elections where there is not a wide margin of victory.

The new elctoral make of Rotovia sees both the Liberal governemnt and Conservative opposition punished by eastern Provinces where a new third party the National Reformists successfully gained every seat they challenged.

The Liberal-Republican Coalition Government has maintained Office by a wide margin, however has lost significant ground Lower Assembly where they now lack sufficant votes to create legilsation or break filibuster.

The legendary electoral victory of President Baccheus four years ago, in which the Coalition Government won with such an overwhleming margin that they were able to pass fifteen Constitutional Amendedments without consulting the minor parties is seemingly at an end.

Rotovia's famous multi-party system seems to be back to stay with a vengence and numereous minor parties are vying for opposition co-alitions to ensure their votes are not lost by the still powerful leftist blocs.

When the 532rd Senate officially sits for the first time tommorow morning many suspect the President will need prepare some radical reforms or risk loosing the more radical left to new up and comming parties such as the United Leftist Movement which stole away the seat of two prominent governemnt backbenchers.
