Description[?]:
The ducal elections took place and the results are mitigated for the anti-fascist AfC. The alliance managed to secure 4 duchies, but lost in Erneshire. https://particracy.fandom.com/wiki/5105_Luthorian_local_elections In Shipleyriding, the AfC easily secured the duchy and was followed by the PP, RE and National Front with only 16.5%. In Middenriding, the AfC won 57% of the votes, while the Brown Cross won 29.55%, an increase of 3% since last elections. The RE won 14% of the votes. In Northriding, the AfC won with 48%, but the far-right is on the rise. More than 40% voted for the far-right National Front. The minister-president Lucy Vickers said she was "surprised" by the rise of the NF in the duchy. In Erneshire, the Brown Cross won a major victory, with 58.33% of the votes, an increase of 12% since the previous elections. Matt Laing, the incumbent Minister-President said he was pleased with the results: "This is the result of 5 years of good governance, of proximity with the people. The opposition can now go to sleep". Supporters and members of the Brown Cross organised protests in all major cities of Erneshire, celebrating the victory of their party in the elections. The AfC candidates said they were "very worried" for the future of Erneshire with "such an extremist, racist party" In Orange, where the capital city of Fort-Williams is located, the centrist Alliance for Change won a sweeping victory, with 73% of the votes. The far-right National Front won 22.4% of the votes, a decrease of 7% since the last elections. This result is explained by the student demonstrations and anti-fascist mobilisation that took place during the electoral campaign. The leaders of the protests, called on all democrats to vote for the AfC so as not to split the vote and let the far right win. The PP and Re, which were criticised during the campaign by leftists and demonstrators for not joining the AfC's anti-fascist front, scored miserably below the electoral threshold. It is a staggering defeat for the PP which lost all its 20 ducal councillors in Orange. |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
