Victory for the Socii is getting full political representation. They sort of got this IOTL (see below). This is evidenced by the fact that almost immediately when things went sour for the Romans early on, they declared that any city that surrendered peacefully would get the full equality they desired.What it says on the tin.

The lower class Italians could not afford to travel to Rome in the first place. The upper class Italians, the only ones who could have made any influence in the elections int he first place, both won and lost. They did come to influence the elections quite a bit-Senators campaigning were known to travel a bit to Italy to try to encourage them to come to Rome to vote. However, their influence was not as large as it could have been, because they were packed into the already existing tribes.Let's say it this way: the normal, lower class Italic lost, since he became member of one of these tribes without any influence.
The upper class Italic won the war, because he became member of the Roman upper class and could run for Roman offices and become a powerful and influental member of Roman society.
