Alliance MP Matthew Auberger to quit Terra Firma Party
May 9th, 2011
The office of Alliance MP Matthew Auberger issued a statement today that the MP will be quitting the Terra Firma Party. Parliament insiders have stated that this was not an entirely voluntary move, and that Auberger was given a choice by Terra Firma leadership between resigning his party membership or being expelled. In the statement, Auberger, who has been facing criticism for a three year affair with an unnamed asari, expressed “regret for the problems I have caused for the party I have been affiliated with for my entire political career.”
Auberger will continue to serve in Parliament as an Independent. However, he will no longer have access to Terra Firma caucus meetings or policy briefs, and it is expected that Terra Firma will run someone against him if he decides to run for re-election. In his statement, Auberger expressed a desire to “continue serving the people of Bekenstein, and the interests of humanity.” He has reportedly placed employment ads for staff members to fill positions that have been vacated by Terra Firma loyalists.
