Increasingly frustrated by their rebuffing of his suggestions, [[Conquest-932]] founded the [[Triangular Society]] with the aim of overthrowing the Parliament as well as the [[Cupid Prime]].

On the day of the [[ | On the day of the [[Rabbit Invasion]], the Parliament had been engaged for nine days in a protracted debate about whose responsibility it was to replace the ink in the typewriter of [[Stenographer-123]] (who typed down the Parliamentary logs) when it ran out, the main contenders being the Department of Discipline and the [[Department of Documentation]]. Despite being banned from the Parliament, [[Foreman-964]] had snuck in, hiding under his desk for most of the debates before revealing himself. Just as it was about to descend into sheer fisticuffs, the argument finally ended when the destruction of the typewriter in question by the [[The Hat|magic rabbits]] rendered it moot. For the first time ever, one of [[Acquaintanceship-982]]'s suggestions was listened to as he moved that they all run for it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Magic Trick (novel)|Magic Trick]]'') Subsequently, though they all returned to the Homeworld save for the [[Cupid Prime]] — who extended his holiday in [[Florida]] by some length —, the Parliament refused to reconvene in the Parliament building for some time.

On [[Halloween]] 2019, the Cupid Parliament were gathered for their own portion of the Halloween celebrations when the [[Spirit Realm Gateway]] collapsed into a [[dimensional rift]] that let [[the Great Ghost's legion]] into the Homeworld. Conducting a “hasty” vote where they were standing, the Parliament told the [[Cupid Prime]] to use the [[Emergency Transport Button]].

Many entries in the [[Book of Evil]] urged Cupids to report sightings of various villains to the Parliament if they occurred, including the [[Wellsian]]s. An addendum stressed that this did ''not'' apply to villains who had been redeemed since being included in the Book, most especially [[Lord Thymon]], whom people seemed to pointlessly report ''en masse'' owing to his having moved ''to'' the Cupid Homeworld permanently.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Professional Endorsement (comic story)|Professional Endorsement]]'')]]Some time in November 2019, Conquest's plans with the Triangular Society reached a crescendo when he successfully dynamited the [[Cupid Parliament building]]. In this, he was unexpectedly assisted by a [[Cupid (Professional Endorsement)|random Parliament-member]] who'd caught him in the act, and made a snap decision to get some catharsis by helping along instead of trying to stop him.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Professional Endorsement (comic story)|Professional Endorsement]]'') No other members of Parliament were nearby, however, such that the attack caused no casualties: the Parliament had yet to resume regular sessions in the aftermath of the [[Rabbit Invasion]]. After the smoke cleared, the [[Council of Elders]] decided to commission [[Foreman-964]]'s [[Department of Construction]] to build a new Parliament building, pleading with him that it not be a warehouse (something about which Foreman made no promises).

They reluctantly authorised the celebration of Christmas in the [[Cupid Homeworld]] from 2020 onwards due to pressure from the Homeworld's non-[[Clockwork Cherub]] inhabitants, such as [[Lord Thymon]] and [[Sneernobiel]] — but tasked [[Pythagoras-858]] with handling the actual setting up by himself.
