| Message | That's exactly how DR wants you to think, CP. He picks only parties whose votes add up to the necessary number of seats to pass his bills and then allocates seats between them, regardless of how many or which seats they deserve. He also always manages to slot himself into a few key positions along the way. I would have no issue with a cabinet I wasn't a part of, so long as it was fair and balanced to all parties and representative of what areas each party excels at. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
