| Message | We proposed this already. People really need to get to grips with just what's going on. End this damned confederacy talk, its creating confusion and uncertainty. People have no idea what they're voting for anymore. We put forward this proposal because nobody agreed with having every party propose a coalition but now everyone's had a change of heart over that proposal. So no, we won't back this now and would urge people to pay attention to developments or else the ridiculous chain of contradictory proposals will continue. |

| Message | What's going in is that the smallest party in Parliament... sorry, the Federal-Secretariat... is still in power because of an error in our laws. If we continue to divide between these proposals, neither will pass. And I will not stand for the tiniest parties being allowed to propose bizarre coalitions. The Progressive Party has won the last two elections. It has earned the right to nominate a cabinet. I fully intend to vote against that cabinet proposal, but the Progressives deserve the chance to at least attempt to build a coalition, free from obstruction |

| Message | I see no reason why the smallest party should not be allowed to propose a coalition cabinet. Afterall, the largest party may be unable to persuade enough parties to support them. And certainly, the largest party should not be garunteed a posistion in government unless it actually holds a majority in Parliament anyway. |

| Random fact: When forming a cabinet, try to include as few parties as possible, while still obtaining a majority of the seats. |
