ZRT founder and Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Miestrâ Schivâ, has congratulated the President of the Republic, D. N. Vercáriâ, on his recent criticism of the MRP government.
"People think that Dieter and I have some kind of grudge going," said Dp. Schivâ. "Far from the truth. I only fight with the President when he supports Peculiarist policies or the Peculiarist government. Here, he is saying things that I totally 100% agree with."
The President of the Republic, in an unprecedented statement on Wittenberg, criticised the Government formed by the party he founded for inaction and unwillingness to enact the platform it ran on.
"These are, of course, exactly the issues that the Defencists ran on last time," said Dp. Schivâ. "Back then, it was claimed that the unwillingness of the Peculiarist candidates to promise to enact their own programme was some kind of triumph of liberalism over party bureaucracy. Now we see what it really is - a triumph of apathy over the will of the people."
Dp. Schivâ added that it's not too late to change something.
"The Chamber of Deputies has the right and duty to punish failed governments," she said. "Every Peculiarist Deputy has to ask themselves - do I really want to continue this Government in power?
"Diarmuid Crovâ of the ZRT has the enthusiasm and capability to run an activist Talossan government. Perhaps it is time that he be given that chance again, via a Vote of Confidence."
However, Dp. Schivâ brushed off suggestions that this was a personal power play.
"I get the feeling that there is a large segment of the Republic who are sick of the sight of me, and who voted MRP to shut me up. In respect of that fact, I confirm that I would not seek to be a member of any new Crovâ government.
"I am happy being Speaker of the Chamber," she added. "I don't think I want to be in Government again for quite a while - if ever."
