It was humiliating for James to have to announce this, having just recently made a short speech with his support for the government.
But things had changed, and it had not taken long. Over a short period of time, the actions taken by those around him were no longer bearable. The attitudes towards his views had gone too far. This was what James needed to do, if not face regret for the rest of his political career. So he rose to his feet, knowing that the words he was soon to speak would cause friendships to shatter and dreams to fall away.
"Senators of Aurentina, only a very short time ago I made a speech. A speech that challenged the Leader of the Opposition's words, a speech that said the government was doing a better job than the opposition, a speech that attacked the previous government. However, there was one thing it did not do. While I stated that the government deserved power more than the opposition, something I still believe, I never actually said that the government was doing a good job. I even said my expectations for it were not high, and they still aren't. The cabinet is not full of many senators who often author legislation, and anyone who hopes that this will be a very successful government will without a doubt be left disappointed when it leaves office.
Now until now I have decided to just get on with it, I would do my job, and others would face the consequences if they didn't. But now something has changed, something that has caused me to make a big decision. When the National Freedom Coalition began to talk about a budget, I became worried. I mean in offence to many in the coalition, but I view your economic beliefs in a way that I do not seek to state here for fear of a point of order being raised. I did not, however, expect my biggest enemy in budget negotiations to be someone from my own party, and definitely not someone who shares very similar economic views.
Now in my previous speech, I talked about the opposition not caring about children, but maybe I need to take a look at the government's stance on them. While my education bills received opposition from the libertarians, who obviously did so as it clashed with their ideology, the majority of the government supported my proposed legislation. I was wrong to think that this meant they cared for the young of our nation. In the last twenty four hours, in budget negotiations, time and time again my arguments and questions were avoided by the Treasurer and Minister of the Exchequer. I constantly put forward reasons for the education budget to be boosted by a further three billion pounds from their proposed fifty seven, but they dodged by statements and ignored my inquiries. The Ministry of Education will become underfunded under this government, just like the last. It's a disgrace that education is just viewed as an expensive waste of money that would be better of saving for an emergency fund. Education is what provides this nation with a future, and I can't help feel that under either major coalition our education system, and therefore our future, is in safe hands.
That is why I announce my resignation from the sixth government of the Commonwealth of Aurentina, and from the National Freedom Coalition. This also means I will be resigning from my current political party, I wish it the best of luck. No party represents me anymore, nor any coalition. I will continue my efforts in improving life for young people, something I believe that few others in the senate are enthusiastic about."
OOC: I tried my best Ainin, did I avoid any rule violations?
You may as well just give up on parties, they don't agree with you it seems
