| Message | Looks OK to us. We will oppose of course, but only formally. |

| Message | It would be a great honour to serve in a cabinet headed by the CNT/AFL. The usual caveats apply about reserving the right to resign if government parties thwart our environmental agenda, but this is not likely to be an issue with these parties. |

| Message | I would also be honored to serve. Whats a Secretary of Infrastructure do exactly? |

| Message | We'd be happy with this as it is, or with a version which follows the old ICA format. |

| Message | @DSP. We thank you for the suggestion, but would inform the CNT/AFL that we would decline any invitation. We are opposed to politicaly meaningless cabinets, and to accept inclusion would dilute considerably the 'flavour' of the cabinet. The Head of Government position has been dominated for too long by one political view. It is in the interests of the country on an international stage for new blood to experience the problems, difficulties and responsibilities of the position. We are still represented by Frances (who is considering retiring for the next elecction) as Head of State. |

| Message | "Whats a Secretary of Infrastructure do exactly?" I'm assuming taking care national highway and rail systems, overseeing port and airport authorities, overseeing power grids and that sort of thing. I'm putting this to a vote then, since there don't seem to be too many objections. |
