Government Formation[]
After the success for the Labour Party, they could decide what government should rule. They decided to go in coalition with the CRP for the first senate cabinet, Tucker I. At the time most thought a left alliance cabinet could take over but to the suprise of many Labour would choose to have less parties in their cabinet and keep it centre alined.
