| Message | It's unfair in precisely the same way you declared the IRP proposal unfair. |

| Message | Unfair and not including your parties in my opening proposal are not the same thing. I do believe the IRP cabinet was unfair and as a result it was rightly defeated in both incarnations. Despite my disagreements I have included Independent Republicans in this governing coalition which will have a broad base of support. Rather than simply complaining that a cabinet is "unfair" you should have negotiated as I invited you to do - the opportunity to debate did not even exist last time. |

| Message | The first cabinet proposal I made seemed very fair since it gave the URP more seats than it currently has proposed for itself in this cabinet. However, since the URP rejected those seats in the first cabinet, I left them out of the second proposal. |
