Well regarded but rather low profile Tribune Sempson has been promoted to the Senate to replace ZBH and will be the new Minister of Finance, Trade & Industry. The Liberals and independents resisted Imperial Order's attempts to promote Razorback to the Senate saying it would give Ronald's party too much power. Sempson is an independent and also well regarded by both sides as being quietly competent.
Ronald will be satisfied with Sempson however, no less because the new Senator is a supporter of the war and not part of the Republic who wish to see peace with the Bolitic.
