Is parliamentary reform a good thing?

[Carlux]

Or would another reform of that level be better?

Just as a lot of other things in this game, it depends on your play style and current situation. Parliaments come with the flexibility of giving you various temporary bonuses, the debates are easy to pass, and if you really want to fish for a particular bonus you can game the system a bit to create favorable conditions in which a given issue is more likely to appear.

It introduces a new mechanic, and one that isn't bad. I'd say pass it, play around with it to make up your own opinion if it's worthwhile. It'll only cost 50 progress to switch out a reform for another anyway - even late-stage ones that cost alot more to pass the first time. So it's not like it's a permanent lock-in.

Also the buff to provinces with parliament seats is pretty decent.

50 progress is non-trivial. > 5 years for most setups. Broadly comparable to spending 600-900+ admin power in one go in terms of time loss, except harder to replace or modify down related costs.

Unless you use one of the exploit setups that get you tens of thousands of reform progress early on, this is one of the hardest resources to accumulate in the game. Parliament is pretty good, though.

parliament has issues that give you reform progress though
