Sheldon Whitehouse: Apparently, the 575 election has already begun

"Mr. Speaker, given that the transition is still in progress, I'd like to take a moment to rebuff the claims made by several people in this very room about the incoming government."
"This is specifically aimed at Mr. Van Rompuy, who can be seen over there at the moment pulling the strings on his many talking-point robots in this room. Mr. Van Rompuy recently stated that UKIP and SP have 'put party before country', and those are his exact words. On the contrary: putting party before country, Mr. Van Rompuy is what I call your obvious electioneering and vote-pandering before the new government has even completed its transition, undermining our nation's institutions. I must not have gotten the memo that the 575 election has already begun. Putting party before country, I should say, is what I'd call this toxic man's unwavering and repeated attacks on the necessary and productive act known as multipartisanship, compromise, and meaningful coalition."
"And his snake oil was regurgitated by one of his putrescent obstructionists, Mz. Widdecomb, before the entire chamber just earlier. I say to Mz. Widdecomb and her Dear Leader Rompuy: you hate democracy. You have a unique and utterly damaging hatred of this nation's Republican institutions of parliament, and it is frankly amazing to watch the hot shit on the block, this new arch-conservative party known as FCRP, working tirelessly both before and since the election to polarize the electorate, radicalize government, and undermine the country as a whole. I say again: you hate democracy. You hate democracy and you stand against the institutions of the Falleen Republic, and we will electorally destroy you for it. Apologies, Mr. Speaker, for saying, quote, shit, earlier. I yield the floor."
