In a shock move Senator El Diablo has left Imperial Order saying that he felt his political future would be best served outside of the old party. Over the last few years Diablo's relationship with Ronald and GBH has become "difficult" with Ronald often failing to hide his distain for the former Emperor. Diablo's wingman Razorback, the Senate's Executive Officer (though that role is at Ronald's discretion and may change) has also left IO. Ronald's son Stinkyson is also likely to join his friends. El Diablo will continue in his current role as Minister of Defence.
But join them where, that is the current big question. El Diablo said he did not leave to jump ship to another party but did not rule out joining or forming a new party. It is being speculated he might join the Liberal Party or even form a new party with Consul Zanus.
