F&V=P Re-elected... just...

The F&V=P party has won a second term in office... just. The government won 55% of the vote, compared to the opposition's 45%. Although this is theoretically enough to secure a majority in the commons, it's considerably less than the 70% the F&V=P party secured in the previous election, and their ability to pass key legislation may be comprimised.

Parliament is expected to re-open within the next few days.

How could our ability to pass legislation, whether key or otherwise, be comprimised? Surely people should think more about the country than the party when voting on bills? Or do the opposition think it's more important to get our popularity down than to do what's best for Ostentia, and indeed the rest of the world?

Yes, this is why I'm somewhat suprised that CC0 thinks our ability to pass legislation could be comprimised.

He may define "key legislation" as something which can have opposing views on it and either one still be the same in terms of the country.

If an issue falls on party political lines, then you could easily find yourself facing defeat in parliament.
