Glastieve

In traditional Glastieven historiography, the major political scandals have been listed as Spingate, April 2017, Matthewsgate, Reform, the Acteriendia and New Secessionism Crisis (including Egate), the Treaty of Exeter, Glastieven N leaving the group, and the Bonhay Revolution. Posterity has added Wikigate, Glastieven R's fake resignation in October 2017, N's contentious The Glastieven opinion piece in 2018, and the Difficult Christmas, all of which have been recognised in retrospect as major historical turning points. Spingate and the September Scare are both now regarded as having been less significant than historically believed.
