Randworth - Last month with the disappointing results for the Coalition and a strong shift towards a more moderate position, as seen by the grow of the centrist liberal Forward Mordusia in the parliament, the Coalition has seen to be less stable and open to challenge Katt Wells position as leader. Whilst trying to form a coalition through difficult talks with Forward Mordusia, which reportedly didn’t go well, caused a leadership challenge by Reform-leader Jason Burke and deputy leader Hannah Bank to take over the leadership of the party.
 
As the negotiations were paused do to the leadership elections, the moderates from Reform together with the Labor-right showed that they enjoyed more support amongst the members in the caucus as well as within their respective parties. As the poll numbers began to decline it seemed more clearly that Katt Wells, the Prime-Minister, had no hope of winning. Later next week the Prime-Minister announced that she would resign the leadership and withdrew from the leadership election. She would however stay on as Prime-Minister until a new government could be installed by the Governor-General.
 
To the surprise of no-one Jason Burke won the election and became the new leader of the Coalition, with the Labor-deputy leader becoming the new Labor-leader and deputy leader of the Coalition. This change seemed welcome to Forward who announced an eagerness to resume talks for a more centrist leaning coalition with a strong social core. This to the utter dismay of the Nationals, who saw their hope for a conservative-led government fall apart.
 
 Earlier this week the negotiating parties announced that they will publish a coalition agreement on keypoints, with Forward Mordusia gaining the deputy Prime-Minister post as well as the ministry of Foreign Affairs and Finance along side some other minor ministries.
