The Worker's Party of Reizen politburo leader Alphonse Kirihito expressed surprise at the results stating, "We knew the Imperialists would split the leave votes and make it difficult for independence activists, but we are greatly pleased that over 36% of Reizeners have embraced the Socialists cause. Following these results we intend to press our case for a power sharing deal with the Imperialists in light of this victory one that will ensure the rights of Reizen Proletariat and the territorial integrity of Reizen and Frost Empire."
