FAP Charged With Creating Government

The Franklin Times -

Will Tyler Wilson be the fifth Prime Minister of the Franklin States of America? This is the question on voters' minds as the FAP won the most General Assembly seats on Election Day.

In a formal declaration this afternoon King Guy charged the Franklin Alliance Party and its leader Tyler Wilson with forming a government within two days. If Wilson fails to create a government in that time the PLP will be asked to create a government.

The pressure is on Wilson as he must balance the pressures and demands of creating a viable government with the demands of this base voters in a very divided electorate. Through seat analysis it is clear that Wilson cannot rely purely on a conservative coalition. A coalition of the FAP, TUPP, PFP, and CRP would give Wilson 175 votes but not the majority he needs to pass legislation. It is very likely that the PLP and LAP will oppose FAP legislation unless Wilson is willing to compromise and negotiate. With their control of half of the General Assembly seats these two parties will likely band together to defend the nation against FAP policies.

Thus the next move rests with Wilson.
