| Message | I do find myself somewhat curious as well. Although I do find your abilities at compromise rather refreshing compared to most bills proposed (including mine. :) ) |

| Message | I figure that I can't have every important position just because I'm the largest party; without outside support, I'm powerless. I'd rather have defense and foreign ministry than HoG; having all three wouldn't be very equitable and I'm sure that you would see that. |

| Message | The SCP would have supported this cabinet had it received the Ministry of Finance in exchange for the Ministry of Justice. |
