With a surprising attendance of 95% of the electorate the elections have been concluded. Not completely unsurprisingly both the Democratic Party and Liberalist Union have gained a lot of voters in the wake of the ban on nationalist parties. Experts expect this isn't so much a vote in favor of their policies but rather a no vote against the existing coalition of the Socialist Alliance, The Dove Party and the Green Party.

In the ruling coalition there have been some moderate shifts. The Socialist Alliance has gained another 40 seats which experts claim to be unhappy voters of the Green Party which in recent years has moved closer to the center. With this move a large amount of voters have moved from the pacifists to the greens.

While the Socialists would officially get the initiative on formation it is expected the monarchs will once again honor the agreement reached between the socialists and greens where the latter gets initiative on the term that the majority of Magistrates are socialist.

The Fifth Assembly of the People will be:
Socialist Alliance: 1667 seats
Democratic Party: 1000 seats
Liberalist Union: 1000 seats
Green Party: 667 seats
The Dove Party: 666 seats
