An issue was raised in the main forum that once the populist party gains control of the Senate, the "promote tech adviser/governor" events put the player in a no-win situation where either choice gives the populist party even more senators. This is because as written, accepting the Senate's recommendation gives 3 senators to the ruling party and takes 1 from the populists. If the ruling party is the populists then this has the net effect of giving them 2 extra senators, and this can (and has been reported to) make the populist party grow out of control especially for AI-controlled countries.
The ideal fix for this problem would be a separate set of events for a populist-led Senate and a non-populist-led Senate, but for now I'm going to make the following change to events 7517-22 in "objective events.txt":
It loses something of the intuitiveness of following the Senate's recommendation benefiting the ruling party, but it's the best that can be done without adding extra events. You'll notice that I've changed it from -1 to the populists to -2, in an attempt to balance it with the events as written. I intend to playtest it later this evening, and if anyone else wants to try it out then all feedback is welcome.
