| Message | We've proposed this based on the latest elections. We kept in mind the UDA's request for justice last term, and our own interest in helping to pursue foreign affairs. Each of the other opposition parties has been assigned a position also, though I had to improvise in trying to assign something they may be passionate about. SLP takes Prime Minister as largest party, and impressive seat counts and HoS performance meant the remainder was divided up between the JCP and SLP. |

| Message | If you post an opposition to this bill, please give a statement explaining why. We haven't had a new cabinet in years now, so while the JLSP would love to promote a fair cabinet, it may reach the stage where we just leave potential obstructionists out of it. If there is a reason, we will hear it with open ears. If not, then we can not reasonably tolerate opposition. |

| Message | We aplaud the J.L.S. for their work on the cabinet. However we oppose this cabinet for several reasons. First, we don't really wish to have control of Education and Culture. We would wish Finance for the same reasons we wanted it and took control of it in the First Cabinet of Modern Jakania. Secondly, we don't feel comfortable forming and voting on a cabinet that has been assembled hastily and without the consent of the other six out of the seven parties in the Supreme Council. A Cabinet requires time and much discussion for which party will acquire the respective seats in the proposal. It is something that must not be rushed. Third, we do not agree with some of the selections made in this Cabinet. We do not believe the S.L.P. is the party to direct the Environment and especially Health and Social Services. That is the same for the J.C.P. in their position of Finance. They have not done anything to earn this position and acquire our respect. And lastly, we don't believe the majority party should necessarily earn the Prime Minister seat because they are merely the largest. We would wish to see a more experienced party like the J.L.S. running the office. |

| Message | However, we do not oppose the S.L.P. controlling the office if that is what must be given to them to make this bill work. And, while we would be honored to have Education and Culture, we don't understand why were potentially given the chance to obtain it. |
| Date | 00:02:57, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2364 |
| Message | The M.R.P. desires something other than Trade and Industry Minister, preferably Financial Minister. The J.L.S. might want to put the next cabinet proposal in debate before sending it to vote. That will allow the Jakanian parties to sort out their differences before agreeing on a cabinent proposal. |
| Date | 00:14:47, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2364 |
| Message | All very good points, and we agree. We apologise for speeding this to vote. We interpreted the lack of comments on the previous proposal as a sign that no one had any specific disagreements. |
| Date | 01:02:16, February 23, 2007 CET | From | Jakania Citizens' Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2364 |
| Message | I would be happy to relinquish finance minsterial power in return for internal affairs in a future proposal. |
