| Message | WHAT??? Every Party---with the exception of mine (and I'm the Head of State)---has TWO seats in the cabinet. Our party has only one. Then again, your party is NOT supposed to be "Head of Government" b/c (1) you were not elected with the most seats in the Convocation (that was the NKP), and (2) You were not elected Head of State (that was the CWFP....haha)!!!!! |

| Message | The CWFP has a point, this seems like quite a fair bill, even to us. |

| Message | Why should every party get two seats? If everyone gets two seats - where are the seats for the Civilian Party? Is there a reason the Head of Government seat MUST go to the party that has most seats in convocation? Or to the party that holds the Head of State? Both seem kind of arbitrary - why not give the seat to the party that has a Living God? |
