1711	14	20	Bill to ratify the Apollonian-Benacian Cooperation and Development Economic Agreement	Rejected. (10-6)-1)	After a heated debate in the Senate, the bill, which was denounced by Humanists as an "attempt by Sanama and Shireroth to build an axis for themselves", was rejected. The United Ayreonist–Traditionalists tried to buy Mondo's support by appealing to easier import and export of cake and cake ingredients, but it was too late (Mondo had said "I actually agree with the Humanists on this...but then cake was mentioned...More time will be required"), as the Conservatives, too, denounced the treaty, citing that because "Hurmu is not on Sanama's list of export partners, [the] Conservative List is not convinced of the need for this treaty". The surprising Humanist–Conservative coalition in this matter briefly united bitter enemies, and might lead to a different type of government after the next elections in two years' time.
