Leading contender for the Seneschalsqab makes statement

Glüc da Dhi, senator for Cézembre and leader of the MRPT has issued a statement congratulating all the competing parties and indicating his willingness to work with them over the period of the 46th Cosa.

As the leader of the second-largest party in the upcoming Cosa (after the RUMP), S:r da Dhi is well placed to put together a coalition government -- something which has not been seen in Talossa for some time. The likely outcome will be an MRPT-ZRT-RPT alliance, although it is rather early to speculate about such things.

There have been concerns on Wittenberg about whether holding 100 seats in the 200-seat Cosa constitutes a "majority" for the purposes of forming a government, given that it is enough to secure a Vote of Confidence. Either way, any coalition government will have to be vigilant against a RUMP faction which remains strong -- the new coalition may have to strike agreements with the RUMP to maintain the confidence of the Cosa.

These are exciting times for the Kingdom, and Mormoglhen hopes for a change from business-as-usual RUMP government.
