CHANCELLOR COMMENTS ON NEW PARTY
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER
 
Chancelry, July 27, 5690: Asked by ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER what she thought of the new political party, Piratenpartei Dundorf (PPD), Chancellor Frieda Gimbel responded:
 

I would make three comments.  First, even though the PPD may be considered Centrist or possibly Center Right on a Right Left scale, strangely most of its ideological positions are at odds with those of Neue Dundorfische Zentrumspartei (NDZP) so we will likely be anything but a natural ally for building a coalition.  Anything but.
 
Second, it is no secret that the view of international affairs in the Foreign Office has been jointly shaped by the Social Democrats (DSDP) and the NDZP for hundreds of years. Whether the PPD becomes an outright enemy of the two oldest and largest parties may well be determined  by the extent to which the PPD tries to disrupt the conduct of our foreign policy.
 
Third, as a party operating from the political center, the PPD would seem to be in an enviable position in building governing coalitions should the percentage drawn by its presidential candidate be indicative of its ability to elect members of the Bundestag.  I would suggest however that whether it can conduct itself as a responsible problem solver rather than a wrecking ball will have a great deal to do in a seven party system with whether it ever joins a governing coalition.
