On the Communist side of the spectrum not much changed, some people went back to supporting the Bukharinites, and the Communist party lost no popularity. Quite a few people have however switched from supporting Capitalists, to supporting Fascists and Monarchists, for now this is dividing the opposition, which could be good for us, but it was just not enough division to remove the feeling of a Fractured Government from the people's minds.
