| Message | Notice how in the UPCP and Progress Party's "compromise," they still hold a large portion of the power, whereas we simply gave it to everyone else besides ourselves and the UPCP and the Progress Party. Interesting how they call us power-hungry when they still wish to claim large portion of power in their so-called "compromises." Also, please note that all the party's besides the UPCP and the Progress Party in this bill have more power in the final "Cabinet Proposal of May 2480" we introduced and voted in favor of, so it would only make sense for them to vote against this proposal and for the other, rather than submit to the tyrannous UPCP and Progress Party like obedient dogs. |

| Message | Notice how all of the Nihilists' 4 Cabinet proposals failed due to other parties' contempt for them. As for your claim that parties have less power in our Cabinet, I have only to say that our Cabinet is more efficient in that its parties share a common opinion of the current situation in the country. Also PP and myself (the largest party) have been added, LP has gained one seat due to their electoral success, BPP has retained their number of seats, and SDPP has one seat less. Your claim is false. We give ourselves seats because we believe we can help steer the country out of its current problems, and apparently the people believe so too. Your Cabinet, however, was a simple attempt to BLOCK certain parties, instead of actually doing anything to help the country. In this Cabinet, all parties share a centrist-capitalist view of the economy and the same opinion of you and your incompetent President. |

| Message | Interesting how you speak for other people who haven't been online since before the elections. How the hell do you know what they think? |

| Message | How in the world can you assume that these parties will wish to join a Cabinet with YOU and purposefully block me from it? |
| Date | 19:51:33, November 04, 2007 CET | From | Computational Intellect Project | To | Debating the Opposition Cabinet of August 2480 |
| Message | That's why I also proposed a cabinet without me and just them. |

| Message | We don't appreciate the accusation of being "cronies". The Nihilist party does not control my organization in any way, and such thought is quite ludicrous. No matter how much you want it to be, this isn't some huge government conspiracy. I vote with the Nihilists most of the time because I agree with them most of the time. I don't understand why you are seeking enemies and cultivating civil war. |
| Date | 21:15:38, November 04, 2007 CET | From | Computational Intellect Project | To | Debating the Opposition Cabinet of August 2480 |
| Message | We were thinking that too. The Traviscist Party is a free and autonomous party. And to the Traviscist Party: the reason why they are seeking enemies and cultivating civil war is because they are fascists desperate for power. Civil war is what they want so that they can gain control. |
