The '''1971 Gagian Assembly election''' was a [[Gagium|Gagian]] {{wp|parliamentary election}} held on 31 May 1971. It was the fifth [[Gagian Assembly]] election since the establishment of the Second Gagian Republic in 1953. All 335 seats of the Gagian Assembly were up for grabs, with a minimum of 5% of the vote or 17 seats in the prior session required to participate in the election.
 
After the [[1967 Gagian Assembly election|1967 election]] barely failed to topple the [[Green Realist Party]]-led ruling coalition, who won the most narrow majority ever seen in the Gagian Assembly of 168 seats. However, the coalition was forced to elect compromise candidate [[Alain Dubos]] as [[Prime Minister of Gagium|Prime Minister]] due to a fracture in the coalition over the [[TBDCRISIS|recent oil crisis]] caused by Green Realist foreign policy towards the authoritarian regimes in the [[Gulf of Atily (region)|Gulf of Atily]]. These policies had already caused sharp increases in the price of oil in Gagium. To worsen the widespread inflation that Gagium was struggling with, the [[1968-69 Drought (Gagium)|Drought of 1968-69]] caused steep prices in the rise of crops such as wheat. Dubos' refusal to cooperate with the government of [[Pätschlàn]] meant that food had to be imported from allies such as [[The Furbish Islands]].
 
In 1968, former soldier and author [[Ulysse Cohen]] founded the [[Revolutionary Committee for Reform]] as a {{wp|far-left}} alternative to what he viewed as the 'weak' [[People’s Labor Party]]. The party would explode in popularity after the Drought of 68-69 and Alain Dubos' [["The Situation is Under Control" speech]], which was described as a 'national embarassment' by opponents and allies alike.
