==== Growth ====
After nearly four months of stagnation and then decline Bloom began to grow again. At the end of November 2017 Bloom's population was at it's lowest levels since April that year. Aided by an influx of new players, an end to infighting and a host of new assistants, Bloom experienced the most rapid growth in it's history - going from just 68 citizens to 201 by the end of Rakoch_'s term.

Line 59 ⟶ 60:
The Conservative minority government faced wipeout with the Liberal Alliance looking likely to win 7 out of 9 seats in the Bloom Parliament. Around this time, the meme war between the Conservatives and the Liberals began.
Throughout the meme war the two sides relentlessly attacked each other with propaganda.
With a month still to go before the next election the Liberals were reaching a high. In Parliament the Liberals held 4 out of 9 seats, with the Conservative government also clinging on with 4 out of 9 seats. Soon the Liberals would disintegrate after Nessie97 and the United Alliance left the Liberal Alliance and Slushhi was reinstated as party deputy leader. Weeks before the January General Election dBeatzx resigned as party leader causing chaos within the remaining party. Now worried about the prospects of not being elected to Parliament, most of the Liberal candidates defected to the Conservatives.
=== Collapse of the Conservatives ===
Deciding not to contest the next election, Rakoch_ announced he was standing down as Conservative leader. Only two candidates came forward for the Conservative leadership, Boombox59 and FlyingHamster22. Boombox59 was elected party leader by the majority of party members several weeks before the election.
With the Liberals tearing themselves apart many of the candidates defected to the Conservatives and the ill-fated decision was taken by the new leader to accept them as Conservative candidates in the new 15 seat Parliament.
The election was held at the end of January, the Conservatives won by a landslide with 78.57% of the vote to United Alliance's 21.43%. The decision to take in ex-Liberals as candidates proved fatal for Boombox59 when 4 other newly elected Conservative MPs put themselves forward for Prime Minister. In a surprise turn of events, FlyingHamster22 was elected Prime Minister with 9 out of 15 votes - including support from the United Alliance.
The new FlyingHamster22 led Conservative government got off to a controversial start when Nessie97, leader of the United Alliance, was appointed Deputy Prime Minister - angering ambitious Conservative MPs, with some threatening to vote of no confidence the Prime Minister.
Controversy continued to stalk the government with infighting between the Deputy Prime Minister, Nessie97, and the Housing Secretary, InvictusX. InvictusX was using new powers to evict Nessie97 from land close to the centre of the city. The conflict spilled over into the High Court where InvictusX was accused of abuse of power but the case quickly fell apart. Minor conflicts and arguments continued to arise.
With the Conservative Party too split and the government blocked by infighting an early election seemed inevitable. Two time former Deputy Prime Minister and ex-Conservative MP, truejedi52, founded a new party, the Traditionalists and was supported by defections from 5 Conservative MPs: cazards, Rakoch_, dBeatzx, alzdadog and iOminous. Voting for an early election, the Traditionalists continued to support FlyingHamster22's government until the election.
The Conservative Party suffered another split as two more Conservative MPs, Slushhi and Xcios, left to form their own party, the Reform Party.
