Though the GLP kept its majority in the 110th congress, its lead was narrowed dramatically due in large part to the departure of the party's most left-wing members in the [[Progressive Alliance Party (Zamastan)|Progressive Alliance]], forming a separate political party. However, this allowed the Liberal Bloc coalition to create an effective 179-126 majority. The BCP only gained 4 seats, and the addition of their coalition partners in the [[Libertarian House of Zamah St'an (Zamastan)|LHZ]] and [[Christian Union Party (Zamastan)|CUP]] losing seats meant their opposition was narrowed to its furthest since 2006.
