Independent Progressive Statement on the 63rd GE

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

I confess I was genuinely surprised that neither the URL nor PA achieved a majority this time around. And I am glad that I made no bets on it. The option that appears obvious but may also present some difficulty is a grand coalition between the URL and the PA. This represents the best option for a stable government that with such a commanding majority might be able to take action on big issues and have a government that it is not propped up largely by one person. It is conceivable because they both largely cooperated during the last term informally. Perhaps that was a dry run for such a formal grand coalition this time.

As I mentioned in my party statement I stand ready to serve should folks have the courage to look forward. I stepped away from the Green Party so they could do so. I hope others will do the same.
