Yeah that's kind of the point, if they don't know now then they never will. A coalition at national level will amplify the issues at local level by a few orders of magnitude.

Who do you appoint to run the treasury? Each party will want their guy. Who do you appoint to international relations? Each party has a different foreign policy.

For all the major ministries the DA will argue that the party with the largest share should get it. But they'll be happy to offer up smaller portfolios like fisheries, which the other parties won't be happy with.

Ironically this may also mean that instead of reducing the number of ministries, which we all know needs to happen, they may keep it almost the same in order to have enough positions available to satisfy all coalition partners...

It'll probably all be negotiated at the Moonshot convention that's gonna be held at Emperor's Palace (that's confirmed) most likely at the end of next month.

Thing is each party will want their guy as you say, and the picking of specific people will happen once the results are out and the lay of the land is known now. There is no way any party would "pick" someone from an opposition party to be a minister or anything, that would be admitting defeat to a certain level.

But it could send a very positive message if any party in the Moonshot were to do it, even if it's not a final list, just a proposal, imagine how warm and fuzzy the General would feel if some party were to nominate him for a Minister of defence, nominate the Prince of Phindangene for the Minister of Cogta, don't just assume since he is old and retired he won't be interested, allow him to decline.

I think it would be a good political gimmick that could help to thaw relations amongst the Moonshooters and show that they are committed to governing.
