I think that the political fallout of the whole thing was not torchwood related so were left off-screen. I'm pretty sure there would be a political fallout, and a severe one, after Day 5 but it was not the point of this series. In my opinion, there would be massive resignation, new elections and a completely public and transparent investigation about the whole thing... and people would have realized with time that governments were faced with an impossible situation and that the only thing they could be blamed for really was the way the children were chosen.
And the Minister who suggested they be chosen according to social standing would probably be more blamed than most in the end, even though she might think she'd get away with it at the end of Day 5.
