Political Career and Views

Zokesian Presidency

2080 Elections and the Zweikopf Compromise

Kolsonaro's Right-Centrist Alliance became extremely unpopular, in spite of Kolsonaro's road-building and alternate energy programs. He and the Farmer's Coalition were been blamed largely for the losses and have been relegated to a second-rate party. The Social Republic Party of Zokesia won an extremely narrow election, following an agonizing 3 months of counting following extreme political dispute and unrest, however they could not make a majority without a coalition of parties. The Social Republicans, though left leaning, refused to work with the Union of Workers as they continued to demand the redistribution of industrial control from the private companies to the people. Following the loss the Steel Pact broke away from Farmer's Coalition, and under the guidance of a passionate young Kerbal by the name of Francisco Grail began turning heads, saving the party from complete breakup when several moderates threatened to leave and join the Republicans. Grail was the leader of the Blutgard during the 2075 elections and was arrested once for battery, assaulting a Union of Workers politican and served 2 years in state prison, where he wrote the book "The Steel of Victory," foretelling the economic crisis and blaming the future shortages on immigration, which while not necessarily true has been associated as "visionary" and led many followers to join him in hate of foreigners. In the uneasy period before a new Prime Minister is elected, the Social Republican leader Albert Yosef , offered a coalition government with Grail, despite the official party statement saying they would never work with the Steel Pact. Neither party wanted to work with the other, and it wasn't until late July that the parties came together to create a solution to break the deadlock.

After nearly walking out of parliament twice, the Steel Pact was finally ready to negotiate with the Social Democrats, who feared a third walkout would brand their government illegitimate. Albert Yosif, leader of the Social Republican Party, and Francisco Grail, leader of the Steel Pact, finally came to an agreement which allowed the parties to form a majority and vote in a new Prime Minister. In exchange for the Steel Pact's support, a new position known as the Chancellor of Zokesia will be created to handle administrative affairs inside the nation, as well as speak as a foreign diplomat while the Prime Minister manages civil and military objectives at home and abroad. Following this Zweikopf (Two Heads) Agreement, the combined Social Republican and Steel Pact parties voted in Albert Yosif as Prime Minister of Zokesia, and Francisco Grail as Chancellor of Zokesia. Kolsonaro stepped down officially and a new Zokesian government was put into place.

Death

On January 1st, 2081 Albert Yosif, Prime Minister of Zokesia, fell gavely ill following a shellfish dinner at parliament. As he lay in the hospital in serious condition, Chancellor Francisco Grail quickly assumed power as Acting Prime Minister, to the disgust and anger of the Social Republicans, who walked out during a vote on Agriculture. Grail declared emergency powers and forced a vote to declare war on the Combined Provinces of Doren with the remainder of parliament well in Steel Pact majority.
