Lately a sharper divide has been shown in the embattled relationship between Chancellor Wu Hán and National Democrats and their leader, National Chairman Yuán Cháo. These divides have become sorely apparent in discourse on the floor of the National Conference, with Mr. Yuán leading an effort to block the Lotus Party favored constitutional revision, effectively killing the bill by caucusing the Republic's Conservatives and their fresh young leader, Cheng Jie, to support obstruction of the effort. Further, National Democrats have launched an unprecedented assault on the government's legislation, attacking bproposed reforms and changes in law, often accusing them of being irresponsibly conducted in respects to place, time, and financial circumstances.

There are rumors that a communication between Mr. Yuán Cháo and Chancellor Wu Hán after Wu's electoral victory, which is originally believed to have been a conciliatory message of goodwill, quickly turned sour in the face of conditional requests of National Democrat leadership, according to insiders from both the Chancellor's office and National Chairman Yuán Cháo's staff. Rumors have also been floating around that Mr. Yuán had hoped for a special diplomatic or ministerial role, given his long expertise in the military and international business dealings. Others speculate that the rift is completely policy based. However it is sure that the National Democrats will continue to work to obstruct constitutional reform, one of Chancellor Wu Hán's main campaign promises and policy points. Further, National Democrats have attacked the proposed reforms as not going far enough to aid true democracy and the development of a republic.

Dissatisfaction with the Lotus Party, and Chancellor Wu Hán's government resounds even more strongly on the provincial level in Shu, a stronghold of the National Democratic Party, and an upset loss for the overall electoral victor, Wu Hán, who canpaigned to workers there heavily. Many citizens of that province are dissatisfied with the national government's economic policy and fierce regime of taxation and enforcement of new regulations.

In response, it has been seen that the provincial government is open to taking new courses of action. Mr. Yuán Daoning, the Governor of Shu and son of National Democratic Party National Chairman Yuán Cháo, has said the following

It is highly likely that we will be meeting with foreign business leaders, and governments, especially those within the liberal and centrist international free trade movement, to work together to bring new, modern jobs to Shu, especially in order to replenish our manufacturing sector. The current government in Tian'an is out-of-touch with our needs and concerns on a provincial level.

There are rumors that within the next few months Yuán Daoning and Yuán Cháo will meet with business leaders to bring manufacturing back to the region, and there are rumors of potential trade deals and diplomatic relations between Shu and and the countries of Dorvik and Istalia on the horizon
