Osto, Lessovik – Federal elections are almost a week away, and voters had a chance Wednesday night to hear from party leaders during a televised debate on Ostaji Cable Network (OCN), the only debate scheduled this election season. Attended by all five major party leaders, much of the debate time was given to the Sovereignty (Sov) and Green party leaders, representing the second and third largest political parties respectively, who attacked Chancellor Abigail Ryan’s Federal Union Party (FUP), which is currently leading in the polls.
Ashlyn Tyler, newly anointed Sov leader and current Vice-Chancellor of the Treasury, issued a warning of rising taxes and economic stagnation in her opening comments. On questions related to her party’s role in the ruling government, she highlighted the efforts her party made to include business support and defense spending, characterizing Sov’s influence as “keeping Chancellor Ryan’s ‘centrist coalition’ from falling out of center”. When asked if Sovereignty would continue its partnership with the FUP following the election, she was hesitant in response. “It will depend on whether Chancellor Ryan and the FUP can commit to lower taxes for the next session. Ultimately, the people will decide what is best, but I suspect they will agree that the increasing activism in government will need to be moderated.”
From the left, Green Party leader Cory Stewart also made direct attacks at the Chancellor herself. At one point, he criticized her devotion to cross-party compromises as “diluting of any meaningful reform”, and later referring to her as the “Compromise Queen.” While sharing many overall policy opinions with the FUP, Stewart painted the Greens as the ideal party for leftists. “Over 70% of Ostaji citizens voted for a left-leaning party in the last election. To that 70%, the Greens will represent you better than anyone else. Ostaja is faced with an imminent climate crisis, and we are the only party willing to go as far as is needed to keep us safe.”
For her part, Chancellor Ryan shied away from lodging attacks at her rivals, focusing her comments on policy and highlighting the successes her government has overseen in the economy. She reiterated a need for a Rural Weatherization Act - despite the measure failing in the Senate just weeks ago - and voiced vehement support for the nation’s labor unions. “What we have done this past year has been fantastic for rebuilding the Ostaji economy. We know, however, that such growth must be watched carefully so that all Ostaji, from the farmers of Gilkesson and Frobedst to the factory workers of Ansarai and Fixturn, can benefit from the work we are doing.”
The remaining major parties, the Ostaji People’s Party (OPP) and the Ridge Movement Political Wing (RMPW), didn’t generate much steam. Pater Shercov, OPP party leader, tried to make attacks on the government’s lukewarm support for unions and the capitalist nature of the economy, but when confronted by the moderator about the positive polling the government has received about the economy, he waffled. Similarly, the RMPW’s Kadon Austin criticized the recent election reforms as harmful to the Ostaji people, despite those reforms being made following popular protest earlier this year.
Current polling suggests that the FUP is set to win a plurality of Senate seats, polling at 43% of Senate seats, with the Sovs and Greens vying for second place at about 26% of Senate seats each. Whether Ryan can retain her position as chancellor, however, is less certain. While Ryan has a personal approval rating in the upper fifties, Tyler’s public disagreement with her aspirations have damaged Sov/FUP ties, which would make a continued coalition much more contentious. Stewart, however, has made clear his intentions to shift any government he is a coalition member of to the left, which could be difficult for the Chancellor to accept. Many close to the Chancellor recognize that, if coalition talks stall, Ryan's chancellorship could be in jeopardy regardless of what happens at the ballot box.
The Senate race is being closely watched, both for how the newly districted Senate seats will poll and how the ranked choice voting process will fare in its maiden election. Polls are set to open June 1st.

Osto, Lessovik – Ostaja went to the polls yesterday to elect the Second Federal Senate of Ostaja, and awoke this morning to find that the Federal Union Party (FUP) has won a clear majority in the Senate, paving the way for Chancellor Abigail Ryan to retain the chancellorship for the next legislature. The FUP is projected to win 185 seats in the Federal Senate, a little over 51% of the newly minted 361 seats in the Senate. The Sovereignty Party (Sov), the clear runner up, is projected to win 101 seats, followed by the Greens’ projected 58 seats, the Ridge Movement Political Wing’s (RMPW) 12 seats, and the Ostaji People Party’s (OPP) 5 seats.
The Ostaji Herald has broken down the results to showcase the winners and losers of this election cycle, and what that means for the next year in Ostaja’s federal legislature.
The Winners:
The Federal Union Party is undoubtedly the biggest winners of the night. While polls predicted the party would lead with a plurality, the question of how to build a post-election government was a mystery given the Sovs and Greens moving away from the political center on the campaign trail. However, the poll numbers for the FUP grew in the week running up to the election, and now, with an outright majority, the party has a much more flexibility to enact its agenda. Much of the victory can be attributed to Chancellor Ryan herself, whose approval rose to 61% following her solid debate performance two weeks ago. Many interviews with voters on local news stations shared as much, particularly in the north, where many feel the Chancellor has advocated for their needs following the particularly devasting winter. Despite the historic election wins, Ryan downplayed her role in her victory speech. Given at her family farm, she called the win “a sign that things are moving in the right direction, and that the people believe in us to continue to do so,” adding, “This isn’t my victory, or even the party’s victory: it’s an Ostaji victory.”
The Sovereignty Party also had a very successful election night. While its total share of seats in the Senate will not be as high as forecasted, the Sovs still won an impressive 101 seats, increasing their share in the legislature to 28% of the Senate from its previous 24%. Additionally, the party surprised pollsters by becoming the second political party (after the FUP) to have representation in all seven states, following a surprise victory after the third ballot count in the Rybackaja province of Gilkesson and only the second ballot in Walluna's Eastport province. Ashlyn Tyler, the Sovereignty Party leader, hailed her party’s successes and focused her post-election speech on a commitment to preserving minority representative rights in the Senate, saying she will “keep the FUP in check”.
The new voting laws enacted during the last Senate also proved to be popular following the election. The recent legislation enacted both a ranked-choice style of voting and a “de facto compulsory voting” clause, in which voters are eligible for a tax credit if they can prove they voted legally in a provincial, state, or federal election during the year. Voter turnout was 89% across the nation, and the streets were fairly calm following yesterday’s elections, a far cry from the routine riots of Imperial Grandtopian days.
The Losers:
The Greens, on the other hand, did not have much to celebrate from last night’s race. The party won 58 Senate seats, reducing its share of the Senate from 18% to 16%. The party’s focus on enticing left-leaning voters from the FUP has flopped and left it much worse off than the opposition party on the right. Party leadership is reportedly not taking the loss well, with many saying that a party leader challenge to Cory Stewart is imminent.
Although not surprising based on polling, the Ridge Movement’s Political Wing (RMPW) did not grow its vote share in the Senate, winning only 12 Senate seats, primarily in the party base’s home state of Ridgeslik. The party did pick up some seats in Ansarai, but lost its only state-wide seat it held in Ridgeslik to a Sov senator-elect. Kadon Austin, the leader of the political wing, blamed the new ranked choice rules for his party’s inability to grow, saying they “reduced and muddied the needs of the eastern half of the Ostaji federation.”
The party to suffer the most, however, was the Ostaji People’s Party (OPP). Ostaja’s communist party managed to finish the election with fewer seats than it began with – from 8 to 5 – despite the legislature adding over 250 senate seats. Many exit poll interviews in communist-friendly regions cited the strong economy – in part brought on by an anti-communist governing coalition – to explain a lack of voter enthusiasm. Even the left-leaning state of Walluna, which was the communist party’s “legislative laboratory” during the revolution, voted out most party politicians – including leader Pater Shercov – after the successful FUP-Sovereignty coalition government.
What Comes Next? When the Senate convenes in July, it will likely take on some of Chancellor Ryan’s left unfinished proposals from the previous Senate, namely the Rural Weatherization Act. Chancellot Ryan also cited the importance of the government strengthening union protections as the economy builds up steam, in a nod to the many union endorsements that helped buoy the FUP.
With that said, it won’t all be easy for Ryan’s government. The FUP’s majority is by a margin of 5 votes, meaning Ryan will need to ensure her center-left party – where some members are more center, while others more left – stays united during the rollout of policy priorities. While the so-called “Compromise Queen” will likely try to forge cross-party bills, both the Sovs and Greens campaigned hard for limits to majority rule in the Senate, meaning they will likely play hard to get on any proposals from the governing FUP.
The Second Federal Senate is set to convene on July 1st, 2023.
