Alterran President Thomas Anderson (D) has stressed the need for stronger bipartisanship in the Federal Congress, particularly among his own party which recently divided itself into moderate centrists who support the President's progressive policies and conservatives who oppose it. Although the Democrats of Alterra, President Anderson's party, maintains a massive and overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress, the President now has to deal with internal strife among his own party members, which could prove lethal to his radically progressive economic plan for the country.
