DZP EXPECTING REICHSTAG LOSSES
Dunburg, November 17, 4972: With the advent of a new ultra conservative party, ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER asked State Secretary to the Reichsprasident Heinrich Feiereisen, what the thinking was among Dunfordische Zentrumspartei operatives about the next Reichstag election. Feiereisen responded:
We expect the ultra conservative party will take some seats from the three centrist parties; ultra conservatives who had to choose between centrists and socialists now have a party mirroring their own ideology. The ultraconservative party may also draw some military first votes from some of the socialist parties that have stressed militarism.
We do expect the three socialist parties to have a majority in the Reichstag and be able to form another ruling coalition. Quite honestly, we rather suspect there will be another factor or two changing the apparent dynamics of the race during the two and a half years remaining before the next election.
Asked by ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER if Reichsprasident Saalwachter would be seeking another term, the State Secretary replied:
Certainly believe he will but it is still a while before a decision needs to be made. As you probably know, there is a lot of talk of DZP Party Secretary Hildegarde Wallenstein making another run or of World Congress Representative August Steigerwald taking a shot at it. Again, it is still two and a half years til the election.
