We find it hard to understand that deputies on the Left submit 
financial plans for the procurement of the necessary funds to a 
Ministry that they intend to overthrow. The principal and in Herr 
Hansemann’s case perhaps the only means of overthrowing a 
Ministry is precisely the refusal of funds. If at least some reforms had 
been included in the financial plan—but no, its aim is to spare the 
Government the hated measure of a compulsory loan. But what 
could be better for the opposition than the Ministry making itself 
hated?
