As it stands right now:
Pulians are somewhat, but not especially, upset about having the seat filled by appointment - most would've liked to see elections but because you were the only eligible candidate they don't mine not having someone they hate represent them
. Bascially, the fascists strongly dislike Megame now, and she's not extremely popular with the people of the capital (or Haven of Peace, because they feel like she deserted them). At the same time, however, the POPs who hate you (the pacifists and some neutrals) are all in favor of her just because she's not a fascist.
Overall, few people think the seat was 'stolen' (except the loyal fascist supporters and some of the people who support the PIP), in part because Megame's political line didn't vary too much from that taken by the rest of the government and in part because she hasn't seemed to flip-flop (yet) on those issues she did disagree with the other senators on.
