At the beginning of this term, the incoming Government faced several crises of confidence stemming from its ill-considered deal with the monarchist fringe: first, a coalition deal that collapsed before it even had a chance to install a government, then a confidence and supply deal from which the junior partner briefly withdrew.

Enter the Agreement between the Government and the Union of Free Reformists. This agreement was a mutually-beneficial arrangement in which each side got something quite nice for very little cost at all:

  • The Government, of course, was able to effectively ensure that their term of office would run its full length. On top of that, they were able to ensure that they would not be denied supply for the term.
  • For our part, the URL secured the passage of the Pseudo-Real Cosă Act and the Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment, two key pieces to start our Democracy Agenda. We were also able to put one of our party's principles into practice, namely that Talossa deserves a stable government as opposed to turmoil.

As we have now entered the sixth and final Clark of the 62nd Cosă, each party to the Agreement has attained their goals, and after confirming with the Seneschal, we have agreed that this Agreement can be declared successfully concluded, releasing URL MCs from their obligation to abstain on the final Vote of Confidence.
