The New Democrats would quickly call for Gio's removal as Interior Minister as they had agreed to a coalition with a more moderate Libertarian party being lead by Fran not a more Radical one under Gio's leadership. Gio would then go on to expel 9 party members for unknown reasons. However Gio would quickly allow Big\_N to rejoin.
