In a national history of factionalism, it was the assembly of intense factionalism. As many as seven rival groups labelled fraktions -a term borrowed from the German parliament- in constantly competing with each other, wasted one quarter of the session in obstructionism, and brought persistent instability on the governmental level: during these 24 months, there were seven changes of premiers, nine changes of cabinets, and 110 changes of ministers. The 14th Parliament sat during one of the rare periods in which there was some degree of freedom for political expression.[2]

gollark: Well, SOME of it, yes.
gollark: Well, factions could be kind of fun, being randomly ambushed by a vanished player and not being able to recover items because some DODECAGON doesn't have graves or keepinv and they were stolen/blown up... is not.
gollark: ... hi.
gollark: oh, how goes the mob farm?
gollark: You know, we could probably afford a fourth giant death laser.
