Decepticons form minority government.

When the votes were added up, the Autobots came up short. Many critics blamed their left-wing policies for their poor performance, while others claimed that they were too closely tied to the auto unions and other special interest groups. Despite a very poorly run campaign, Megatron's Decepticons will form the next Canadian government.

"The success of the Decepticons was entirely dependent on my brilliant strategies," claimed Starscream, the Decepticon campaign manager. When the triumphant Megatron took the podium, he wasted no time. "Death to the Autobots!" he proclaimed. Reporters were on hand when Optimus Prime made the congratulatory phone call. Optimus was gracious in defeat, while Megatron taunted "You're a fool, Prime. This planet and all it's resources will be mine for the taking."

A lot of former Autobots ridings in the Maritimes were lost to the Quintessons and their savagely effective "Vote for us, or it's the Sharkticons for you" campaign. Since the Decepticons failed to win a majority government, the Autobots will need to work together with the Quintessons if they hope to stand up to the Decepticons. When the Quintesson leader was asked if he was open to negotiations with Optimus, he responded: "Yes... no... yes... no... feed him to the Sharkticons."

The new Junkion party failed to secure any seats once again. Despite a sound environmental policy based on recycling garbage, a lot of revolutionary Junkion ideas were ignored, partly due to the media's fixation on the Junkion leader's strange moustache and his incomprehensible speeches of television sound bites.
