| Date | 18:54:37, July 06, 2011 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party | To | Debating the Military Modernisation Act |
| Message | To all whom it may concern, The Democratic Labour Party would like to announce that it is dissatisfied with the fragmented nature of this Government. We shall no longer prop up extreme conservative parties in Government. We greatly appreciate the support of the Imperial-Liberal Alliance but we shall no longer be a party to un diluted fascism. The Constitutional Imperial League gave us assurances before the election that concessions would be made if we were to share Governmental responsibility with them. From here on in, this party refuses to serve alongside such fascists. Should the aforementioned party wish to continue to serve in Government with us, they must withdraw their opposition, both to this bill, and the federalisation act. Failure to comply shall result in our withdrawal from Government. I yield. |
