| Message | The current cabinet no longer commands a majority in the Majelis. To ensure a government majority with the minimum of change, this proposal adds the UPU with one ministry to the cabinet, and leaves all others ministries the same. |
| Date | 09:58:37, September 24, 2007 CET | From | People's Communist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2459 |
| Message | The PSP notes that it has been quietly left out of all major governmental posts, and that the positions themselves no longer seem to be distributed proportionally to the number of seats in the Majelis that the coalition owns. We feel that this is a very bad deal for us, but in the spirit of unity we will accept regardless. We hope that it will be for the greater good... |

| Message | The PSP was left with the same seats as before. We would be happy to support a proposal that gave the PSP more and was more proportional. |
| Date | 19:30:40, September 24, 2007 CET | From | People's Communist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2459 |
| Message | The PSP has the brief for Internal Affairs in the present cabinet. If we could maintain that, the top six positions would be reasonably fairly distributed. |
