| Message | Hopefully other parties will permit the USM to be part of a cabinet for a change - we're always the ones who appear to be left out. I am optimistic that comrades from the CSP and SDLP will side with us due to our opposition and support on a wide variety of topics. The WSS!P also get a good share of powers in my opinion. |

| Message | Arrgh this is actually such a difficult choice. UB are offering a chance to shape the foreign and economic policy of this country, but this proposal puts us in a more like-minded government. We will wait to see the outcome of our early elections bill before we come to a decision. |

| Message | We like this cabinet- ideological matches have been rare in prior coalitions. We'll just have to see how the possible coming election will turn out. |
| Date | 09:00:18, September 07, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the USM Cabinet Proposal of November 2106 - For A Left Wing Future! |
| Message | We will decide upon which cabinet to choose from after result of the early election bill. |

| Message | I've voted in favour of an early election, so it's likely. We'll see if this cabinet is still appropriate after the election. |

| Message | "but this proposal puts us in a more like-minded government." - Interesting to note that the two parties in this cabinet but not mine have the same as average voting record with you as you have with me (81%). |
| Date | 21:59:03, September 07, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the USM Cabinet Proposal of November 2106 - For A Left Wing Future! |
| Message | but them again, this cabinet proposal doesn't leave the head of government with excessive amounts of power, and offers appealing positions to other parties as well. |
| Date | 22:06:09, September 07, 2005 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the USM Cabinet Proposal of November 2106 - For A Left Wing Future! |
| Message | I wonder why the SDLP voted yes to mine but just abstained yours? "offers appealing positions to other parties as well." - The SDLP prefer the positions offered in mine and I have given the WSS posts that they have traditional held and done well in. Still this doesn't matter when both should pass at month end. Could be an interesting result. |
