Radicals secure Los Altos; PSSG defeated as Radicals prevail in the election.

The 5569 elections have finally concluded, and in a rather close race, it came down to the PSSG and the Radicals. In a rather surprising twist, it seems the people have chosen to elect Navarro to Los Altos. Marking the first time the PSSG has lost since reformation, the Radicals have not secured a majority on their own, being forced to make a coalition, and have chosen to form a coalition with Reform, seeing a Gold-Green Coalition. With Navarro set to become President, we can expect a more liberal direction for the next 4 years. As such, let's go into depth on what Navarro plans.

Starting off with the expected, more freedom for the market. While no major deregulations, we can expect more flexibility and liberties given to the free market. With the Malaise having been kneecapped, perhaps free market reforms can be the final blow to the Malaise. Alongside that, we can expect support for Federalism and an expansion of what states can do. However, two major issues are expected to be addressed. Navarro's calls for a referendum, and the more conservative nature of Reform and how viable the Gold-Green Coalition is. With a referendum being very likely to occur, we can expect strong pushback against it, especially from the National Party, which finds itself in a very small minority in the National Congress. The second issue is, of course, if Liberals and Conservatives can play nice long enough to last 4 years. While social issues weren't much of an issue this election cycle, there are still some minor disputes on the economy.

Irregardless, as Navarro and liberals across the country celebrate, the PSSG will spend some time in opposition, and it is likely that someone else will replace Yepes in the PSSG. Whatever the case, the next 4 years will certainly be interesting for the Radicals.
