The Results
At 4:41 AM UTC, Elections Supervisor Syndicality posted the results for the 146th Senatorial Election, which in a lot of way were different from those of previous elections. A large number of 94 ballots were cast in the election, which by calculations gave 12 seats in this term. With that said let's see who was elected.
Here’s a list for all the Senators elected based on their political party.
- Bill Rocky Moor (u/StaleGingerale1) of the Liberal Democratic Party
- NotCom (u/MaintenanceProper176) of the Liberal Democratic Party
- Kelvin (u/HellriserHellas) of the Liberal Democratic Party
- Logry (u/ZeroRevenue) of the Momentum Party
- Rein (u/TGrein_) of the Momentum Party
- Democracy-foryou (u/Democracy-foryou) of The Centre
- Starvalley (u/flextheonions) of The Centre
- Tech Support (u/TechSupport631) of SPQR
- Literal aka Jacob (u/xtremepop45) of ROSE
- Nf19_1 (u/kitchen-Map-8819) of Lemon Party
- Deloulou (u/recordingforeign2479) of the Fucking Best Party
- Sunbear (u/sunbear99999) as a independent candidate.
The pie chart shows the current senate composition; immediately after the results came, a coalition of LDP, SPQR and FBP was formed which holds 5 of the 12 seats in the chamber. After the formation of the coalition, a vote was held to elect the next Speaker for the term and all Senators agreed to have Rocky as the Speaker for the term.
Public Overview
Many people didn’t think about having 12 seats in the elections and thought 12 seats are “too much”. Many of the bigger names who ran in the Senate election which are Tripod, MedMouse and Lyoko (the Speaker of the previous term) didn’t get elected, which was a huge shock to some people; former Speaker Stalin aka Awesomeman has said, “ I think this senate’s gonna be interesting” and “Their Speaker is good”.
Interview with Senator Notcom
We had an Interview with recently elected Senator NotCom about her perspective on the Senate and what her goals are; here’s the full interview.
Q: What are your plans for this term of the Senate?
A: Pushing through the OHS reform is my main agenda. I will support Rocky-nomics, SimExit and other things if I like it or not.
Q: How are you willing to work with the SPQR and FBP this time?
A: I would be down, definitely. I think both parties are pretty reasonable and amendable to my goals.
Q: You were in Prison for most of your campaign. How would you tell about your campaign and how did you pull it off?
A: I’m just that bitch.
