| Message | ..::Rises::.. Mr. Speaker, We will not support this proposed Cabinet of forehead knucklers and head wobblers. I would also be curious when having self serving agendas qualified one as a Loyalist? Never mind, I withdraw the inquiry. I yield the floor. |

| Message | ..:: HRH Prince William II of Orange, Prince Regent and Viceroy to HSM The Holy Luthori Emperor rises ::.. Mr speaker, One was about to express our dispeasure with the exclusion of the Falls Party from this proposal. After that outburst, however, one now feels that our Rt Hon Friend was wise to do so. It will please us greatly to mark our seal on the papers appointing each member of this loyalist coalition. One yields the floor. |

| Message | On the other hand I consider myself a swing vote, so if the LCWA, Secular, or Fall party would be so kind as to propose their own version. If you do not propose then I will go ahead and vote yes on this proposal and I shall further note that I will need at least 3 or more seats to go along with a counter proposal. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The BCD has already indicated that it will not serve in a Cabinet with my party, and therefore any Cabinet I propose will fail whilst the BCD continues to hold the position of Viceroy. I yield the floor. Belinda Braithwaite (Leader of the LCWA) |

| Message | We will support this cabinet with a modest addition of the LCWA and the subtraction of LP. If this is not done then we shall wait and see how the Falls Party and ANSP react to this proposal. In any case we cannot accept any proposal that gives us less than three positions. We would also like to keep the respective parties aware of how many votes are needed to pass this proposal. |

| Message | ..::Rises::.. I might remind the Rt Hon Gentleman from the BCD that is a Falls Party Cabinet Member who signed the order to retrieve the fleeing Royals immediately upon the Emperors notification that such a thing would be appreciated, that the same man who signed the order to place Luthori men in harms way for the benefit of the Royal Family, also signed the order that the Luthori Navy was free to use Force in the execution of this duty. That along with that issued the order that Flagship of the Fleet conduct them on their so as to properly represent this nation and Emperor. That indeed writtenin the orders was the understanding that all officers conduct themselves in a manner becoming of men escorting Royals. Now friend, your party may be content with having a cabinet surrounding the His Most Serene Majesty that also happen duck and grin when ever your members open their mouths. However I would expect you might also enjoy the thought of competence in these positions as well. So I stand by my previous statement and include the point that it is not merely the Parties in the Cabinet representing the nation but also the men they place in office. I for one shudder at the thought of the current proposal. Finally, the single most intelligent thing said on this issue has come from the Rt Hon Representative from the CDP, let none here forget how many votes are required to pass this proposal. While it might seem that my Part and the CDP are not aligned ideologically in any fashion it would appear niether of us are short on math skills. The LCWA will most assuradly not vote for this, The ANSP doesnt have the votes to pass it, and to my pleasant surprise the CDP seems far more open to actual multilateral work being done by this body in spite of Ideological differences. You are found wanting. I yield the floor. |

| Message | * The Imperial Viceroy enters the chamber in full ceremonial dress * Mr speaker, Let me assure the Rt Hon Friends concerned that my uncle and I are very satisfied with the performance of the Secretaries of State for Defence, Science & Technology and Trade & Industry and I would hope to include them, or colleagues from their party, in my next government. Furthermore, we are prepared to allow the LCWA to remain in offices where it can do little harm, such as Health and Envirnment, but fear the repercussions of allowing them to remain in positions of serious influence. I will yield the floor to allow hon members to notify me of their preferences before I propose my cabinet. * He takes his position at the head of the government bench * |
