Fort Åleselle City Council

Summary
The Fort Åleselle City Council is the Council that Governs the City of Fort Åleselle and the surrounding suburbs. It’s composed of 26 councillors, who each represent wards within the city that contain 3-5 elected Members.

Background
After the 2018 Council Elections, the Incumbent United Socialist Workers Party was voted out and a Liberal-Civic Union Majority Coalition was voted in. However in October 2019, Backbencher Liberal Councillor David Wu resigned from the Liberal Party after he revealed to the Public that the Liberal and Civic Union Parties had been receiving kickbacks and bribes from local Developers and Landlords to let them easily buy land and develop buildings throughout Fort Åleselle. A former USW Councillor later leaked documents showing the previous USW Government was also involved in the corruption scheme. Many councillors resigned, were arrested or decided not to run for re-election, this large void left by the previous parties led the way for several smaller parties to gain power. In an unexpected result, every single party in the Council won only one seat. The Garfield Party, Independent Democracy Party and The Thwompist Party for the first time, while the Libertarian Party returned to the Council after an 8 year absent. David Wu, now an Independent, was the only Incumbent Councillor to be re-elected. After the election, a Broad Left-Wing Coalition was formed, ranging from the Communists to the Centre Party. David Wu was elected as Speaker while Social Democrat James Sullivan was elected as Majority Leader.
