Thallers withdraw support from TKP: Party rebrands as National Union
April 5679

After united support of the coalition on the past reforms planned by Schuhbeck, the strain between the namesake family and the Thallerist Conservative Party have been visible to the public, in a recent internal scandal a major Senate figure of the TKP resigned from his party posts and instead joined the VVP together with some others of the Orthodox Thallerist wing of the TKP. In response the junior coalition partner called the party presidium for an emergency session in its headquarters in Bannerhafen. While representatives of the media were camped outside for hours, the grandes of the TKP were debating on how to proceed politically. In the middle of the night, the officials ended their meeting and exited the offices to announce their results to the media.

Newly designated Chairman and Vice-President Yvonne Hauptmann approached a large bubble of reporters to state the new status of the party. “Obviously we are not going to dissolve, that would be laughable in respect to the fact that we’re currently holding government responsibility in the Schuhbeck administration. I’d like to quell the over-the-top media hysteria by correcting some perceptions. The former party members surrounding the Thaller family loyalists have been a small but vocal minority within our party, the relationship with the family itself has been deteriorating for years, it was only a matter of time until we went our separate ways. For at least two election cycles now, this party has been a safe haven for the good-hosians of the Triad who’re fed up with the corrupt shenanigans of the VVP and the insufferable progressiveness of the GRP, we’re committed to continuing our mission of consolidating the Right of the Three Republics, especially those not represented by the conservatives. For this sake, we’ve decided to rebrand the party, Ladies and Gentlemen I hope you’re just as excited as we are to witness the birth of the National Union.”
