Okay, I'm doing an alternate scenario in which Italy starts off as a democracy. A previous event simulates a debate (not unlike the policy debates of Vicky), and the winner affects the outcome of the election.
Basically, I'm trying to use flags. I successfully used them in an earlier event pairing, where one flag would be set if Italy intervenes in the SCW and another would be set if it abstains. Both flag-dependent events work fine.
This time, though, I can't get a single debate outcome event to work, even at the most basic level. This is what the debate event looks like:
So far I've coded it so that only the first option sets a flag (I'm working on it incrementally). The following event is supposed to fire as a result of picking option 1:
Simply put, nothing happens. I've gone over the events that do work and have tried to spot any errors I've made, but I've come up empty. If anyone can see any mistake I may have made, please please please point it out. I'd rather not have to trigger an event just to trigger another event down the line, it just looks so sloppy.

gathered in Milan to debate the country's future. The prevailing ideology in
this debate will determine which parties will have a chance at winning the

least, heated. As Italy showed no interest in the Spanish Civil War, the
debate is expected to focus mainly on domestic issues."
