Lemieux: "Political opportunism is one thing..."

POLITICO | During a press-briefing in Corrintrin, Chancellery Chief of Staff Pierre Lemieux was asked the government's opinion on controversial remarks made by members of the CCU.
"We understand that the Conservatives want to claim victory for the successes of the war, clean it's hands of it's gruesome aspects and then claim to be peacemakers when all has been said and done -- but this is something which for the sake of the war effort can not be permitted. An election would be hugely destabilising in such a delicate time, it is because of this reason that legislation was passed with overwhelming support to postpone federal elections until the war was concluded. Not even after WW2 did any respectable party in the government or the opposition demanded that then-Chancellor Farage step down to let another party negotiate the peace -- such behaviour is unprecedented. Political opportunism is one thing, but this party seems to take it to a whole new level. For a party which was so adamant in maintaining "all-hands on deck" and decried those who espoused divisive rhetoric -- the lack of self-awareness is turning comical and ironic."
