| Message | The LPP's cabinet proposal does not reflect the will of the people. The election results clearly suggest that the LPP is out of favor with the populace, and it is a miscarriage of democracy to have the party that *lost* the most seats become Head of Government. So, we are proposing a coalition better reflecting what the people voted for. UEP & New Dems: we are offering you more positions and/or more powerful positions. UEP, we know you are concerned that our coalition weakened your electoral performance: however, we humbly suggest that your votes against us are what undid you ... consider that, for the first time in the history of our great country, one party has a strong plurality of the votes in every region! Surely voting with that party only helps your standing. This is a semi-conservative country, and the people want semi-conservative government. Holding fast with this country's leftists will only drag you down. Note, with due alarm, that the biggest gains were not by the FP, but by the NeoFascists -- for, suredly, opposing the leftist parties. We invite to join a center-right coalition to prevent the rise of fascism in our country, for surely we can all agree on freedom. |

| Message | I might also add that our current PM, of the LPP, has embarassed us internationally by claiming to the world that the National Socialists "are in control" of Alduria, when both head of state and head of government are Radical Liberals. This is a diplomatic gaffe that needs to be corrected. |

| Message | We are a new party, still finding our way through the maze of Egelion politics. As it stands, we have made a commitment now to the current coalition government and would be unwilling to reconsider until another election has been held. Our concern was our willingness to compromise on issues of concerns to others, but failing to have that favour returned by our coalition partners, who voted down three bills we proposed on the eve of the election when they would have the most negative impact. We will not be so trusting again. |

| Message | We'd like to comment that when our party won the Presidency, the Free Populists passed a cabinet that did not include our party, and we find it somewhat ironic that they complain when we return the favor and that they vote against a tax cut proposed by our party apparently just to be spiteful to us since they have proposed several radical tax cuts in the past. We thank our coalition partners for your support, and perhaps after the next election, we will propose a new cabinet with a seat for the Populists if their machiavellianesque voice can be tempered into one that focuses on cooperating for the good of the nation rather than their own personal power. We would like to say to our friends in the UEP, SDE and NDP that we will not always agree with you. After all, we are different political parties with different opinions and different perspectives. However, we can promise that we will always listen to and respect all your opinions, try our best to cooperate and compromise with those opinions while following our own beliefs and opinions, and do what we can to make Egelion and Terra a better place. That said, we would like to reiterate our belief that the Aldurian National Socialists are a menace to Terra and it should be our country's policy to assist Alduria in removing them from government. Currently it appears that there is a near civil war there, with all other parties rallying around the Radical Liberals in order to make sure that the NSP does not consolidate its power after its election victory. It has already tried to assassinate government leadership(http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=15692), among other things in order to gain more power in addition to their majority, to which the the other parties have followed the suggestion that is going on right here in our legislature(http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=15592). We hope that our nation can assist them in their attempt to rid the Aldurian country from the thuggish tyranny of the NSP majority. |
