Springtime of the people is almost impossible

[numerobis]

Springtime of the people gets you a bunch of radical IG leaders, and asks you to switch to census or universal suffrage plus get off of monarchy. You have five years to do it.

Changing voting type has 100 days per roll; changing government type has a base of 200 days per roll. If you can line up your IGs exactly right and get 50% approval of the law with zero stall chance then good news, you can expect it'll take 1800 days leaving you a whole 25 days of buffer!

Don't blink.

This seems to fail the "this is fun to a competent player who hasn't seen this before" test, because it is basically impossible to do this event without have already started it before the event fires.

I know there are events for switching to census/universal suffrage that give you a free advance, and one for switching off monarchism that instantly enacts the law. At least IME they almost always fire, but RNG can definitely screw you on laws.

I did it in my belgium game a few days ago.. Beheaded the monarch -> Insta switch to a republic. Then I passed universal suffrage the normal the way. It wasn't impossible at all.

Most of the law-passing journal entries don't really take account of how long a law can take. Honestly, in an ideal world every single one of them would be coded to "doesn't fail so long as the law is in progress, but if the law cancels/fails after the timer runs out, JE instantly fails as well."

Paradox QA strikes again

I think the way it works is if you have a radical IG leader in government and you try to pass either census or universal suffrage you'll get the "New Constitution" event on your first role and be able to switch right away

If you save-scum enough you'll get it on your first roll, sure. I got it on about the 6th roll. On my most recent time with this JE, I was in the second phase with 25% pass chance and some stall chance.
