Barvata lost his working majority after members of his party voted against an amendment to the Anti-Terrorism Act 2020 following the [[2021 Joralesian attacks]] on 8 March 2021.

In Staynes, Kaltar and South Staynes both Labour and the Conservatives made a net loss of seats, the first time that had happened to both parties since the 1956 general election. The Democrats made net gains in all three countries. Marislia saw the biggest gain of any independence party since the 1960s. Lucia Malim and Aria Stemp were the only two of eleven Green MPs who retained their seats. The Liberals lost a total of 13 seats, and majorities in its remaining seats were greatly reduced. High profile losses include the seat of former Secretary of State for Defence [[Nickolas Frost]], who was the longest Defence Secretary ever from 2010 to 2019; former Democratic Party leader Jess Ghentley-Moss. The former Democratic leader Paddy Lukamortz had his constituency majority greatly reduced to 0.4 percent.
