WI Lucceius, not Biblius, Elected Consul w Ceasar

When Julius Ceasar ran for Consul in 60 BCE (for the year 59 BCE), he intended for his co-consul to be his "running mate", Lucius Lucceius; instead, he got paired with Marcus Calpurnius Biblius, an old colleague who hated his guts. What interests me here is that, not only was Lucceius something of a boring moderate who could work with Ceasar, he was familiar with Rome's most famous moderate conservative, Cicero, and (FWIH) might have acted as an olive branch to the famous orator.

So my question is what if he had won? How would Julius Ceasar's year as Consul be affected? And how would these changes ripple through Roman history?
 
The question is to what extent the triumvirate`s agenda was open to negotiation at all because some difference of opinion would always arise.
Not having ignored his co-consuls vetoes would have placed Caesar less far out of the constitution. Yet, there would still have been senatus consulta which he ignored.
 
It's not just negotiating the agenda and working (more) within the constitution. For example, if Ceasar and his allies didn't have to worry about the co-consul killing their land reform from the inside should he hold the fasces when the land board members are chosen, he's less paranoid about getting it passed as soon as possible; and if Lucceius is filling the board, or overseeing the elections to said board if that's how they end up doing it, then the opposition is less paranoid about Ceasar using the law to build up his own power.
 
Just wanted to see if anyone had thoughts or objections on this?
Good concretisation of what I meant: will Lucceius' overview of the land board lead to the same results as would Caesar's? And would the latter think so, too? And if not,how much leeway would there be?

It's like having a fourth guy in on the triumvirate who doesn't have much of an own powerbase. If it isn't that way, the other three won't yield much.

It's also debatable how much of a Triumvirate there really was at this point; the Luca Agreement wasn't until 56, and even if we go by the official date, it had only just begun with Ceasar's consulship.

CONSOLIDATE: Here's what I was thinking -- Lucceius does his job well, bridging the gap between Cicero (and his moderate faction) and Ceasar (and his). To start off their cooperation, Cicero agrees not to oppose the Land Reform being pushed by Ceasar, but on a couple of conditions: first, that no shenanigans are used to get the bill passed; second, that Ceasar can't just fill the Land Board with his cronies, meaning the lottery that distributes the land has to be above board, and the purchasing of land must be beyond reproach (ie absolutely no seat for Crassus); third, public lands in Campaignia are absolutely off limits; and possibly others besides, with similar agreements relating to other, lesser reforms.

Looking over Caesar's legislative accomplishments of his Consulship of 59 BC, I can offer some thoughts (blue = passed as OTL version; red = doesn't pass, or not with OTL impact; black = not sure):
  • Land Reform 1.0 - this version of the bill can actually pass TTL as well; however, it's passage is very different, because now Caesar isn't worried that his co-consul will sabotage the law if its enacted on his watch, meaning he doesn't lose his shit if Cato tries to filibuster; additionally, if Cicero is working with him here, the elder statesman can keep characters he believes to be unsavory (like Crassus) off the land board, meaning the law is enforced somewhat differently to OTL
  • Ratification of Pompey's Eastern Conquests and Treaties - don't see why this would be different TTL
  • Crassus' Tax Bill - Cicero might very well try to nix this idea; it certainly won't make Caesar too many friends. If he succeeds, the First Triumvir would be severely altered, altering the political scene considerably
  • Egypt Bill - OTL, Caesar had the Senate recognize Ptolemy XII as Pharaoh of Egypt, offers friendship of Rome, etc; I'm inclined to think it still happens TTL, but open to thinking it might be butterflied
  • Land for Pompey's Veterans - the political alliance to make it happen is still in place, so I'm inclined to think it still happens TTL; that said, if Caesar isn't feared by the Senate as he was OTL, he might decide to let the last Land Reform bill be his contribution there; could go either way
  • Caesar's Governor Position - if he's working with the moderates TTL, Caesar will likely need to take less than he did OTL (not three provinces); if he doesn't get Transalpine Gaul, we may not see Caesar's Gallic Wars TTL, which would be an important change
  • Land Reform 2.0 - OTL, Caesar threw public lands in Campaignia into his land distribution, which pissed off Cicero; needless to say, it is unlikely to happen TTL
  • Provincial Reform - it was a massive bill OTL, and it was all Caesar (something near and dear to his heart that didn't win him any powerful friends); passed easily by pretty much shaming the conservatives into supporting it; my guess is, it still passes TTL
  • Clodius' Tribuneship - Clodius may or may not still get it into his head that he wants to be Tribune of the Plebs TTL; if he does, he still needs Caesar to conduct the adoption ceremony; even if he's still elected, a calmer 59 BC likely means Clodius won't have the political capital to go after Cicero as brazenly as he did OTL
