While public opinion of a Scaler counter-invasion was negative, news of the Scaler invasion of Selachima has caused massive public support for a liberation war for Selamachia. However, the invasion fell during the Election year for Technantis so there will ultimately be a delay in any military action.
The current ruling party, the Technantis Libertarian party, has called for a full scale invasion so as to drive the Scalers back home. Incumbent President McCloud, however, has stated that he is not interested in running for reelection this year. The T.L. Party has nominated Commander Andrew J. Gatson, a maverick it the political field, for the presidential election.
The minority party, the National Technantis party, has nominated an influential politician and right-wing author, Senator Tyler Fairview, on a platform of total military force against the Scalers, as well as a invasion of the Scaler homeworld.
An unusual third party is also making an unusual showing as well. The Anti-Atom Party of Technantis, who has yet to nominate a candidate, has announced a platforming condemning both the Scaler Insurrection and, in fact, the nation of Atomicpunkeria. The party is composed of many of the nation's most intelligent minds and promises to make a strong showing against the main parties.
