The global financial shockwaves following the excesses of the early 2000s caught the Kruhlstutter Union government off guard. Combining economic dissatisfaction with moral outrage over the Liberals’ incredibly close ties to Kresimirian corporate monopolies, SWL leader Alfred Windischmann surged in the polls.
Windischmann secured a narrow two-seat majority for the center-left, immediately shifting Kruhlstutt’s geopolitical stance after PM Robby Scholl resigned. He granted official asylum to thousands of CRF writers and activists, infuriating Kresimiria’s Blue Dawn establishment. The Green Alliance entered the Diet, an offshoot of the SWL related to the Socialist Progressives of the 1989 election. This election also marked the arrival of the Crown Nationalist Party (CNP), a far-right group furious at the porous borders negotiated during the previous KU administration, and the Kresimirian 2007 Visa Reform Act which allowed lots of Kresimirian immigrants to Creuzholz.
