Election day winners and losers

A judicial re-count in Aeolia awarded one seat to the Jungle Party that had originally gone to Family Values. Re-counts were also ordered in Lazuria and Centralia, but no seats changed hands. The following are the 333 seat allocations in the 49th Congress-elect, which will be confirmed later this week when the Fourth Session, 48th Congress returns for lame-duck session, with the first item on the order paper to ratify the election returns.

Of the whopping 22 parties that have been awarded seats in Congress, ten are single-seaters.

National Union was, of course, the big loser. The NU's tough-as-nails law-and-order schtick is tired and played. No one seems to buy the promises of public executions, corporal punishment for petty miscreants, or hard time for lonely, repressed or socially inept men trying to buy some sex on the street.
