Schulz: "We shall not resume another 20 years of austerity..."

For a party that has pledged on cutting down on pointless jibes at fellow parties, the honourable member surely knows how to upkeep the new vision of it's allegedly "reformed" party. Surely the honourable member will understand that if either Hastiga, Veldunium, or both of them, decide to vote against their continued membership of the Empire, then there will be SEVERAL years of political transitioning and negotiations to not only craft a new relationship between these states and the Empire, but also for the way forward of the Empire as a whole. Our party is very patriotic, but foremostly our party is democratic. Democracy may never be dismissed to protect a notion of unionism, for that is anything but tyranny and oppression. If the people of these states voice their opinion through a verifiably legal mandate that they no longer wish to remain in the union, then the Four strike me if my party betrays it's pledge to support their decision to leave.
And if they do break away, take responsability for what? For upholding democracy? For doing what is morally correct and upholding human rights even if that may lead to states leaving the Empire? Gladly so, I'll tell the honourable gentleman. We will be crushed, our hearts broken by such a sad end to our union, but we will hold our heads high, extend a hand to the people of Hastiga and craft a future that works for all of us -- together. If the Empire is down by two states, then the economy shall have to adapt, and any economic policy would have to adapt with it to lead the country through the economic instability. Though I can guarantee the honourable gentleman that my party shall not resume another 20 years of austerity as they would like us to.
That is the reality of governance, it is dealing with crises, it is making tough decisions and it is taking bold steps to make the better ouT of a poor situation. I understand the honourable member and his party iare more of the type to jeer from the sidelines rather than attempting to do anything productive during a parliamentary term, but our party must govern, and a majority of people in the country voted for parties which supported the notion of these referenda, thus we shall carry out our mandate.
