| Message | We cannot support this proposal. It is our opinion that, at this point in our history, we should be working toward peace and consensus rather than deepening the divisions within our society. This will only be accomplished by the creation of a balanced Cabinet that includes all parties, with representation in the Cabinet roughly proportional to the seats in the legislature. It will be difficult to pass bills otherwise. We would like to take a Head of Government position. |

| Message | So I suppose, then, taking what you just said into account, that when the ELF has control over the cabinet you will include all parties in your proposal in the interest of peace and consensus? |
| Date | 01:37:20, December 31, 2007 CET | From | Irish Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2509 |
| Message | We will vote no to any proposal that has the ELF as head of government. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
