Message | Well since you are in it, you will vote? Besides what's wrong with diversity. It's proportional and we like it were everybody gets a piece of the pie. |

Message | Government must be accountable to some sort of opposition; this proposal eliminates opposition to the government. It also creates a situation where every single minister (pretty much) won't be in agreement with others over, given the huge number of parties involved, quite a lot of issues. The point about coalitions is members are supposed to represent roughly the same policies, otherwise it just stagnates and is horribly inefficient or just collapses. Before even considering this as a party, Jamies Irvine has decided to, in his capacity as SG, veto for these and other reasons, in the interests of good an efficient governance. |

Message | FCP we gave you the seat you really wanted: FOREIGN MINISTER and still you vote NO. I thought we were moving toward compromise in this government? This is truly a dark day in Aloria. |

Message | We'd have many of those under this bloated, ineffective and deadlocked government. |

Message | Gridlock makes for modest, selective and efficient governance. |
