| Date | not recorded | From | Radical Centrists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | I'll repeat: "That'll teach me to take a few days off. I'd like to formally request that the RCP keeps STA. As previously stated, we are the dominant party in one of the regions and should accordingly be in the cabinet to ensure their views are represented. We agree to all other changes in the proposal in the intersts of unity. We are not rampant right-wingers, but centrists. Our presence in government would not be contradictory to your aspirations." |

| Message | We would vote yes in this proposal. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | The RCP recieved not even a third of the votes in one region does not quality you as the dominant party inthat region. Nor does it entitle a party to a seat on the cabinet; the RCP is more than capable of representing its constituents in the legislature. |

| Message | Plus we don't own that region anymore lol. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | Actually, we still have Washibar, which went 32.45% for the RCP. It's worth noting, though, that they recieved only 527k votes, while the Leviathan Party, which recieved a comprable portion of the vote (32.77%) but got almost 900k votes. Let's not slip into a sense of entitlement when considering government positions. |

| Message | The Leviathan Party is still prepared to accept this cabinet as it stands, presuming there are no objections from the USP given their recent electoral sturm und drang. |
| Date | not recorded | From | United Socialist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | The USP is pleased with the build-up of the cabinet as it stands. We have gotten our two main issues to "police" and are quite happy with it. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | Then we would like to have this voted upon with all haste, to prevent another term with no cabinet. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Radical Centrists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | We look forward to the day when the public punishes you for your arrogance. [and other such spiteful rhetoric, at great length] |
| Date | not recorded | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | Move to the vote and send the RCP a nice bottle of whisky so they can drown their sorrows :-) |
| Date | not recorded | From | Radical Centrists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of February 2037 |
| Message | Much appreciated. Consider our 'no' to be a token gesture. |
