the 2024 Lynsk General Election held on January 30th 2014, saw the defeat of the Burchardt government by a coalition of former coalition members.
Background
on July 17th 2023, Prime Minister Christoffer Burchardt declared his coalition had collapsed, asking the Monarchy to call Snap election and formally approve a motion of parliamentary dissolution. The government had been in gridlock over The Christian Democrats would refuse to put the 2023-2026 Tax Adjustment Bill to a coalition vote. The bill was proposed by the Greens, and would attempt to lower tax on multi-use, multi-family housing by 6%, while increasing the good and service tax on some luxury goods and recreational goods. The Christian Democrats would propose a 4% tax cut, but would not increase the GST, insteading Cutting Funding from the Indigenous Affairs and and Education ministries discretionary budgets. The Parties could not agree on a budget to propose, The Reform Coalition, Green Party, Radical-Liberal Union Party (Formally The Farmers Party), and the Indigenous People's Party, would use their votes to block Christian Democrat efforts to push the 4% Tax, which Burchardt would veto the 6% tax bill, using his privileges as head of the coalition.
While the Tax Adjustment Bill was still being debated, serious conflicts over looming budget negotiations took their toll. The Junior Members of the Governing coalition would present a budget. Key issues like, the level of money heading to Refugee Relocation and Assimilation programs, an increase in the Public Housing Credit, and cuts to Lynsk military obligations as part of JSEC would cause Burchardt to veto the bill before it could be brought to a coalition vote. Instead red-lining certain parts of the budget and over negotiations on those red lines. Minister of Trade, and recently elected leader of The Greens Thomas Rosenmoller would instead send the Budget to Opposition Leader Josephine Byquist and request that they send it for a vote on the floor of parliament. Junior Members of the Coalition would meet with the opposition on 8 June to negotiate further settlements to the budget. The Opposition would agree to the Refugee Relocation and Assimilation program funding, the Public Housing Credit, and to operational military cuts. Deputy Opposition Leader Samuel Stefansen would request funding allocation to the Regnhavn-Fyrhøgh-Sipekovesje Rail Expansion Program, in exchange the opposition added provisions to the Crop Yield Differential Fund. On 10 June the Opposition would bring the Budget to the floor of parliament, a vote would be carried out on the 15th. The Budget would pass 146-69. The Reform Coalition, Green Party, Radical-Liberal Union Party, Indigenous People's Party, Socialist Workers Party, and the National Workers Coalition voting yes. The Christian Democratic Alliance, National People's Party, and Red-Green Ecology Coalition voting no.
Burchardt would attempt to renegotiate with his coalition members after the opposition's budget passed, however the coalition was unable to create a viable policy plan going forward, and Burchardt declared the coalition null.
Former leader of the National People's Party, Rasmus Vollan would die after a short battle with colorectal cancer on February 18th 2022. His daughter, Astrid Vollan would succeeed him in leading the party.
