| Message | Right, was popular in the Rural regions when I first suggested this bill. I opposed the cabinet when Rationalist was not represented. You care more about power than democracy. |

| Message | In my opinion the process of molding of government must be carried out, as fast as possible so that in the ministers would be more than time for the effective work. Hardly the sabotage of this process - that, what people wants. |
| Date | 00:07:45, August 21, 2005 CET | From | Federation Under Crazy Killers -- United | To | Debating the Political Equality |
| Message | In this case yes. As this is a game and not the real world, power is more important. Especially when the views of those that are more popular I consider crazy (TCP) |
