| Message | We're pretty sure RPP will sign onto this one. So whether this cabinet is a go is up to you KC. |

| Message | We'll support. |

| Message | I think it goes without saying that I refuse to support this proposal. It seems to have been designed with the express desire of being voted in, with no regard to how deserving people are of the positions. 4 seats for RPP? 5 for KC? None for either MLP or us? This proposal is not only absurd, it is insulting! |

| Message | We offered you PM and almost half the cabinet, CLP, and you turned it down without explaining why. We can't make a much better offer than that, and we're not comfortable working with a party that won't explain the reasons for the decisions it makes. Maybe next time. |

| Message | Didn't a proposal for a DR-MLP coalition pass already? Why would we still need these others? |
| Date | 18:32:43, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Social Liberalism Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of June 2451 |
| Message | If you must know, DR, I turned down your last proposal because, like your current proposal, I didn't think it was fair to other parties. CLP holds a limited number of seats, and frankly I was a little insulted that you would offer me so many seats in your last proposal, as I felt you saw me as a swing vote to get your proposal passed. |

| Message | Insulted at being offered PM and almost half the cabinet, huh? The Alorian Senate isn't always "fair." We pick a cabinet based on political compromise. You can propose your "fair" cabinet. Maybe it'll be voted in, maybe it won't. Right now, if KC votes as it says it would, this one is in, fair or not. AFP--that was supposed to be a temp cabinet to fill the empty cabinet posts until a permanent cabinet could be selected. In any event, now it looks like the MLP PM has resigned. This coalition will hold for awhile, we think. |

| Message | Since DR already ruined the fair proposal we'll vote for this one. We have to get power somewhere. |
