The Times has seen evidence to suggest the Democratic Reformist Party has announced its intention to withdraw from the coalition agreement ratified this week by Labour and The People's Movement.

We understand that the memberships of all parties ratified the agreement before a new round of negotiations led to the break-up of the fledgling coalition. DRF leader /u/ZanyDraco objected to "new terms suddenly shafted onto [the party]" and walked out of negotiations.

The main point of contention appears to have been a request from TPM negotiators to reduce the DRF's presence in cabinet from 15 to 14 posts, in return for reassurances from TPM that they'd adhere to collective cabinet responsibility.

We contacted /u/ZanyDraco, who was happy to describe his party's issue with attempts to renegotiate the deal. "TPM insisted on changing the deal in a manner we could not support given they had already ratified a prior version by vote, and we refused to allow that." On the wider picture, he added, "The LPUK has won as the left will now be marginalised into unofficial opposition, and we all have TPM to thank."

TPM Designated Contact, /u/14Derry, also spoke to us, levelling a similar accusation against the DRF, "The DRF refused to compromise on elements of the deal. We in the People's Movement did our utmost to accommodate their demands but sadly it seemed like giving up a single ministerial post in exchange for TPM abiding by collective cabinet responsibility was too much of an ask for them, and as such they have by default allowed a Tory government."

New update as of 23:40...

Labour leader, /u/arichteabiscuit, contacted us with the following statement, appearing to place the blame on both minor parties in the coalition. "Labour put together a comprehensive agreement that would've delivered on the strong Labour-led government that the people of Britain have been calling for in the most recent opinion polls, we are quite disappointed that those in the DRF and TPM didn't concur with that vision and have decided to depart from the proposed coalition agreement."

This now seems to leave the door open for a minority Tory government with, as revealed by The Jewish Worker earlier today, soft support from a Libertarian-Liberal Democrat opposition.
