As expected Cruggson and Lakes are proceeding through to the second play-off round of the Consul election after easily getting far more votes than the other candidates. Cruggson achieved 68% of the vote and Lakes 24%. Of the other candidates only Scottson of the Brutal Violent Fascist Party achieved anything of note (3.5%) with his platform of death to poor people and amputation for parking offenders which proved curiously popular.
Next weekend Cruggson and Lakes will go to the polls again. Cruggson will hold a rally in Yavilanda later today, Lakes has already addressed SS officers at SS GHQ. He proclaimed that he was the future and Cruggson was the face of the failed old regime. Sixteen assassination attempts were made on Lakes in the 30 minute speech which is down by 30% on his last appearance there.
