| Message | sorry, RWLP, you had your chance. If you wanted to keep the previous cabinet in power by stalling, I dont want you in the cabinet. If you were just being picky I am sorry, but I don't have the time to find out. |

| Message | You did have the time to suggest that while it was in debate, which was quite a long time, so forgive me for assuming that the former was your reason. |

| Message | I call for all my fellow particracy players to oppose this on OOC grounds. The LPE came to power through a bug, a bug which Wouter acknowledges and seeks to fix. In the meantime however, she is ramming through her bills regardless of the unfairness of this bug and her majority, and she doesn't even seek to compromise as seen by her removal of the opposition in the face of RWLP's request to be the Minister of Defence. |

| Message | I have not given myself an unfair proportion of cabinet positions. If I was seeking to control the entire cabinet, that would indeed be unfair, but here four of our parties are included, in a relatively fair ratio, not reflecting my excessive number of seats. In my opinion this is a perfectly valid cabinet. |

| Message | plus it wasn't a request, put politely, with a question mark, but a demanding statement. If the phrase was 'could I please have the position of minister for the defense?' or even 'I will support if you make me minister for defense' I may have considered. |
