TLD RECOGNIZES PIRATE PARTY SUCCESS
 
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER
 
Dunburg, Novemberr 27, 5702 (backdated):  Former Deputy Chancellor Gunther Krancke of Team Liberaldemokraten (TLD) was asked by ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER if TLD would be part of a new governing coalition in the wake of the most recent election, and he responded:
 

To be clear, no one has invited us to join a coalition as yet. We would certainly consider any offer and of course look closely at any agreement we would have to make to enter such a government.
 
To answer your question though, we think it could happen.  Why? The situation the Pirate Party hoped to bring about when it was formed several elections ago has now occurred.
 
In the Bundestag, the current Left Leaning government does not have 316 votes. And there are not enough Center Right votes to reach a majority.  Simply adding the Pirate Party to the existing Left government will not work since the Pirate Party refuses to be in a government with one of the existing parties.  There is a similar refusal by it preventing a Center Right government.
 
Chancellor Matthias Werner wants a fourth Bundeskabinett.  With Neue Dundorfische Zentrumspartei (NDZP) opting out of a quick fix of that desire, we may well be critical to the two obvious remaining options.  There are others of course, and the initiative is with Werner, so TLD is simply  awaiting developments.
