| Date | 04:25:11, July 31, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | AC is active again, but this won't be rushed to a vote until CNT's return. In the meatime, MLP, will you support it? If not I can do a new cabinet proposal of CNT-Equitista-Green-DSP, which is enough for a majority, but this offers you a chance to keep the foreign ministry. |

| Date | 17:18:34, July 31, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | so that's a "maybe"? If you DO make a commitment to support this cabient, MLP, then you can be in government and continue to provide Lodamun with sensible foreign representation. If you can't make a clear commitment to this proposal, then the Greens will support Equitista's cabinet proposal which does not include you. This is an olive branch. will you accept it or not? |

| Date | 00:28:25, August 02, 2005 CET | From | Adam Smith Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | That is the first time we have ever seen non-existent described as non-provocative. Various issues of importance have been directed to Ralph Uniquete, with little or no response. There is the issue of the Zumian independence movement that has not been addressed, there was the question of creating a mutula self defense associaton amongst the Nations between New Endralon and the Endralonian Empire which still has not ben answered. Yes it is non-provocative alright. |
| Date | 05:31:14, August 02, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | We agree that the MLP should be more active as the foreign minister. |
| Date | 14:09:20, August 02, 2005 CET | From | Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |

| Date | 16:02:20, August 02, 2005 CET | From | Adam Smith Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | ((It doesn't matter what time zone you are in. What matters is that requests directed at the Foreign Minister are made concerning ongoing events and no reply is received even after you have been on line. No one is asking for instant replies, but we are asking for a little more positive action when you are here.)) |
| Date | 10:45:55, August 03, 2005 CET | From | Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | The MLP promises an active role in the Foreign Ministry if the ASP and TiC would support this Cabinet to reinstate Mr. Uniquete as FM. |
| Date | 10:51:26, August 03, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | A more active role in the Foreign ministry would have been nice earlier... We may vote for this... We are unsure whether we prefer to have Equitista or the Greens with more spots...We do not like that this proposal removes the DSP from Head of Government, but if they support it... |
| Date | 17:45:11, August 03, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | We would normally support a proposal like this, but we see no point in a cabinet reshuffle so soon after the last one was established. |
| Date | 20:18:41, August 03, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | The point is to include MLP. That is the major difference... |
| Date | 02:07:42, August 04, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2088 |
| Message | CNT -- this one was actually proposed first. There's a majority without MLP already, and this lets the majority decide if they want MLP included or not. The Greens are happy with either cabinet. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
