The Concorde Coalition was formed by an agreement between the Heron Party and the British Liberal Party in the run up to the March 2024 General Election. Confirmed by the signing of the Concorde Agreement at the end of February, it outlined the agreements of a two-term coalition between the two parties, with the parties supporting the Heron-designate Sir Thomas Carew in the first term, while supporting the BLP-Designate, Cameron Romefeller, 1st Countess of Argyll in the second.
The Concorde Agreement was signed at the Savoy Hotel in London, on the 21st February 2024.
The Agreement was dissolved on the 22nd April 2024, following internal discussions between the two parties souring over the evening. The BLP formed a majority opposition under their Chair (Knightstone's wife, Josephine Carew-Grey, Baroness Knightstone), and Knightstone continued as PM in a minority Government.
