Liberal Democrat Assembly leader Mike German declared: "The wheels are now back on the wagon."
His relief was tangible after a special conference in Llandrindod Wells voted 125 to 77 to endorse the All-Wales Accord with Plaid Cymru and the Conservatives.
"The ball passes to Ieuan Wyn Jones."
Ieuan's still up for it, and so are the Tories, it's now a question of how and when a no confidence motion comes.
There will be a conference sketch in Capital Eye, in Tuesday's Daily Post
