Jeff Sessions discusses coalition possibilities

PRM founding member and former parliamentary leader Jeff Sessions conducted a press conference today. One of the topics at hand was the possible coalition partners the Popular Republicans could work with in the next legislative session. The following is a partial transcript from that press conference.
Q: News is buzzing with regards to the public falling-out of your coalition partners, the Socialist Party and UKIP, who have mutually ruled out working with each other again. What are your thoughts on this?
"Well it does sadden me. I think all parties involved were very satisfied with the accomplishments of our incumbent government, and I think its ultimately a reflection of increased partisanship that they [Rudd and Brandt] now brand each other as ideologues. I've known these people, they aren't unreasonable by any stretch of the imagination."
Q: So what about the PRM? Which parties would you consider entering a coalition with?
"I'd be delighted to continue working with either of our current partners, both of which I hold immense respect for. There are some reservations either way, but if that weren't the case, there'd be no reason to have a separate party [chuckles]. There are other possibilities. I've been largely pleased with what I've heard from the New Progressives in the debates. The new Federal Liberal manifesto left me pleasantly surprised on the economic policy section. Mr. Nash certainly seems a more compatible individual with PRM than previous leaders of the Federal Liberals, although their decision to forgo the debates will not be likely to give them strong electoral results. The Center Party remains an option, but their utter silence this election season baffles me. Based on what I see on the ground, I don't think we're about to witness a mass exodus of voters away from PS or UKIP, so a coalition involving one of them seems almost certain, just because of the math of it all.
Q: And the other parties on the ballot?
"We have ruled out working with the other four parties contesting this election. The Union of Freedom, Moderate Party, FCRP, and United Left have economic views that are quite simply irreconcilable with ours. No governing with those who wish to brutalize the minimum wage, I'm afraid."
Q: What do you think are the prospects of you remaining in government?
"I think they are excellent, quite frankly. And we are itching to get back to work."
