Volkspartei leaves Coalition, Denounces Darnussian Intervention
In a move that surprised the nation, Finance Minister and leader of the Volkspartei Pieter Vanhanen has anounced that the Volkspartei has resigned their positions within the KPD/VP Coalition Government with immediate effect. Although this was long expected - political strategists knew that Mr Vanhanen had higher ambitions than Finance Minister, and that his party wanted to be more than a constant junior partner - the reason for the resignation was something nobody expected. Mr Vanhanen declared he had been manipulated by his once Communist Allies into supporting the intervention in Darnussia when it came up for vote. He felt betrayed, and announced - in line with United Dorvik's declaration earlier this year - that if the Volkspartei forms the next Government, they will ensure peace in Darnussia, and that all Dorvikian troops are pulled out.
On top of this reason, Mr Vanhanen also mentioned that the stark ideological differences between the VP and the KPD had brought tension to the coalition for years, and recently - with a KPD majority - he had considered resigning many times, indeed the VP Executive had voted on it. This revelation, he said, was the final straw. Mr Vanhanen said he would soon call for the KPD to resign, to dissolve Parliament and let the people mull over this announcement, but until then looked forward to the next election, when he hopes to form the next Government and be the first VP Chancellor since Mariah Tessel from 3119-3120.
