WulfricsunuWulfricesunu's government was eventually revealed to be highly corrupt and more focused on enriching the cabinet ministers than actually governing the country. The scandal would implicate companies in several other countries, including Volscina, the [[Union of Free Cities]], Lapinumbia, and [[Nuova Volscina]]. The most damning evidence turned out to be a ''Cynebury Herald'' article comprehensively documenting systematic bribery and embezzlement within the goverment. After WulfricsunuWulfricesunu refused to resign, the Witan removed his government through a [[w:vote of no confidence|vote of no confidence]] in December 2016. Snap elections were instituted, but to keep the instruments of state operating, the Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the ÞSD [[Eoforwine Æthelstansunu]] agreed to form a caretaker government in coalition with the ÞUD and the MWP. The LDP was purposely left out of this new arrangement.

The [[2017 Tretridian federal election|snap elections]] concluded in mid-January 2017, leading Æthelstansunu's ÞSD to form a government with the ÞUD. The new Prime Minister swiftly instuted sweeping corruption probes into the LDP and companies implicated in the scandal. Several leading figures in the LDP ended up convicted for various corruption charges, including WulfricsunuWulfricesunu himself.
