Elections to the Comhthionól Náisiúnta were held on 12 June 2017.

  • rise of the third parties
  • FMP collapse
  • Glyt Dems brought into coalition - Coalition of the Ready.

Background

The 2012 Comhthionól election resulted in the loss of the Liberty-Centre Coalition's majority, with Liberty losing eleven seats and Centre losing two. Alexis Walker returned as Taoiseach after the 31st Comhthionól met for the first time. The Social Democrats gained five seats but preformed poorer than expected. With 129 seats, the new SDs leader Darragh Ballíck became Opposition Leader. The loss in seats for the government and the SDs was the direct result of the surge in seats for the Free Market Party, which picked up 27 new seats - bringing them to a total of 44. Taoiseach Walker declined to enter a coalition with the FMP, but instead signed a supply agreement with the FMP and the Glytter Democrats for budgetary matters.

Climate and immigration reform dominated much of the Glytteronian political landscape since the 2012 election. Likewise, the debt agreements with other members of the Euclean Community also remained a prominent issue. Following the 23 August attacks and MRF insurrection, national security moved to the forefront of Glytteronian politics.

Taoiseach Walker announced her intent to step down in January 2017 and formally resigned on 20 April. Following a leadership race, then Minister of Justice and Equality Jimmy O'Reilly became leader of the Liberty Party and succeeded Walker as Taoiseach.
