Premier Stirner Responds in Force to LDP Insults

Earlier this year, the Centrist Party introduced a bill which would reestablish a minimum wage into the debating floor. As usual, a civil debate ensued regarding the merits of this bill, with the NCP in favour and the LDP taking their usual position against any sort of government welfare, however civility failed yesterday after the speaker of the LDP's Deputies responded to an argument given by the NCP speaker by referring to the NCP as "out-of-touch." In response to this rather light insult, Premier Karl Stirner enterred into a tirade about about the histories and policies of the NCP and LDP which we'll include here:

You want to see an out-of-touch party, look in the mirror. The sole mandate of the LDP since it's creation was to attack the workers and the poor while destroying the fabric of our society. The only reason your party exists is to oppress the working class and champion the rich minority. The NCP used to be the economically right wing party, but the LDP is so laissez faire that they make us look like socialists.

Don't lecture us on being "out-of-touch" when the LDP is the most out-of-touch anti common people party that has ever ruled in Kalistan. You know nothing of our history. You care not for the actions of your party upon the people. You destroy and leave conservatives and socialists to pick up the pieces. Your wear your "support" of liberty as a golden crown at every moment possible and rub that support into the faces of your opponents, but whenever given the chance, you go and attempt to prohibit workers from exercising their human rights.

The NCP, along with the socialist parties, on the other hand, have been the last picket fence which stands in the way of your destructive wave. You assisted the New Way party in destroying the economy with hasty privatization, socialists and conservatives worked to fix it and ease the effects upon the people. It was that privatization which dealt a final blow to the effectiveness of the military, but it was socialist and conservative Defense Ministers that built the army back up. It was CAK, RSMoK, and PRG who rose up against the fascist PL regime. What did the LDP and Blue Berets do? They backed the the fascists. It was a socialist President who called for peace, and conservative Deputies who introduced a peace accord to end the civil war while the liberal government scurried around to ensure their amnesty and inclusion in a newly formed cabinet. When the NCP proposed three omnibus under the impression that they wouldn't pass, the LDP went ahead and sacrificed social libertarianism in order to privatize the rest of the economy, which destroyed three important industries and left hundreds of thousands homeless. The NCP quickly worked to right this wrong and introduced their own public relief program and a national relief program with the support of UKWF Deputies while the LDP sat back and laughed at the flames. The only good thing of significance done by the LDP is the fact that they managed to united conservatives and socialists against them.

If you dare label the NCP as out-of-touch despite the history and policies of the LDP, then we'll dare to leave the government. Cooperation between our two parties is done for now. Our ministers will resign, you crawl to the UKWF and Centrist party and beg them for for support, but we're over with.

At first, the nation took this threat of leaving the government as a bluff to scare the LDP and President Fatherson, but we were proven wrong today when the government issued a statement this morning which confirmed that Premier Stirner did in fact resign along with Defense Minister Phoenix Jameson, Health and Social Services Minister Dr. Sequioa Britton, and Science and Technology Minister Dr. Andrew Grissom. The nation and government are still stunned by this action, as no response has been given by any of the other parties and Ministers, the Deputies, or the President. The only people who have released a statement regarding the NCP resignations have come from the reigning Ministers themselves and NCP Director Henrik Mosley.

Statement from Premier Stirner and Ministers Jameson, Britton, and Grissom

We've had enough of the LDP. Their hypocrisy and actions appall us and we're disturbed that we'd even join their government. They need to be replaced, but that can't happen right now, so their going to have to crawl up to the UKWF and Centrists and beg them to work with them. We're done. We're not working with a government that opposes all of our actions and expects us to just sit back and take their hypocritical insults. Good luck LDP. Good luck UKWF. Good luck Centrist Party. We're going to take up the reigns of chief opposition. Res Publica Delenda Est...

Statement from Director Mosley

I one hundred percent support the our resignations from the cabinet. The ice between the NCP and LDP have been thin for a while especially so with the Constitutional Court Case, and we're not going to sit back and take insults from hypocrites without biting back. Perhaps it's for the best, anyway. You can't really have a functional government when the President is suing the Premier in the highest court in the land. The NCP will return to acting as leader of the opposition for now. Res Public Delenda Est...
