Civic doesn't like Military, but Populist took enough shots at them that they don't like Populist either, and are trying to help Mercantile eliminate Populist.
Religious just wants to survive; has allied with Mercantile to remove Populist since Populist have been the largest thorn in Religious side.
Mercantile only cares about Populists going down; is friendly to anyone who helps.
Populist one seems to care about removing from Religious, because that removes one of their rivals and eliminates them. It is a smart move.

The current balance of power suggests we will simply block each other's votes until the dead people come back.

I wanted Military support to finish off Populist, but they are indifferent towards me.
