And if yes, does this mean all the parties agree on that order, in the sense that everyone agrees "party X is more right/left than party Y"?

To fulfill this role, parliamentarians follow the parliamentary financial cycle, which consists of a continuous loop of activities that take place throughout the calendar year.
