| Date | 21:33:48, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Loyalistische Partei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | Specially when in oppostion proposal you are getting Trade & Industry, Foreign Affairs and Justice, which are much meaningfull ministeries than Science and Technology. |
| Date | 21:36:27, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | The NCU does get the Prime Ministry and Education Ministry, and Trade Ministry, as well as the Science & Technology & Infrastructure Ministries. |
| Date | 21:36:59, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Loyalistische Partei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | And as for NCU, you should reconsider our first proposal, since in this one you are losing ministeries. And in our proposal you had Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, Finance, Education and Trade & Industry, very powerfull ministeries. |
| Date | 21:39:36, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | But the Communists receive as many government seats as our party, including the influential Justice Ministry. The NCRP will be stifled from using their positions effectively in a DLA-led government. Jeremiah Coaxley, DLP Leader |
| Date | 21:43:34, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Loyalistische Partei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | How come? As prime minister we have no intentions to interfere in other ministeries AND we have never done such thing in the past, as you can remember when DLA and NRCP were working together in cabinet before. |
| Date | 21:53:27, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | The DLA will certainly block the Justice Department's entire agenda in the Parliament to the best of their ability, as they did before. |
| Date | 21:55:22, March 09, 2008 CET | From | Loyalistische Partei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | And Loyalists are trying to force everyone to be part of Workers Unions against their will, as they did before. Populism is fun, isn't it? |
| Date | 01:03:35, March 10, 2008 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | That was a position taken by the Metzinger chairmanship thirty years ago. The DLA really is mired in the fights of the past, unable to look at how to work towards a better future for Darnussia. |
| Date | 01:29:15, March 10, 2008 CET | From | Party for the Republic | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2543 w/NRCP |
| Message | And the issue really was a bit more complex than that. No one could be forced to join a union, but employers could be required to hire union members in industries with histories of unfair treatment for workers. |
