| Message | Is there some reason that the minority coalition recieves 6 out of 10 seats? Or that the largest party only recieves one ministry? Or that an absolute pacifist is entrusted with the safety of the Lodamese people? |

| Message | Equal "Is there some reason that the minority coalition recieves 6 out of 10 seats?" I'm just leveling the playing field, hoping to make the People's Federation of Lodamun a coalition government - at least on some level, to make a check and balance system. "Or that the largest party only recieves one ministry?" Again, check and balances and I hope they will see it that way too. "Or that an absolute pacifist is entrusted with the safety of the Lodamese people?" That one was, honestly, so that I could influence my ideals on the part of the government that I see as most important and under the most threat. |

| Message | not likely to pass. Take one seat away from us and give it to the Conservatives, and there might be a slim chance of approval. |

| Message | We cannot vote for any cabinet that gives the defense ministry to a party that wants to ban all arms from Lodamun. |

| Message | Those aren't my intentions At least, not my short term ones. |
| Date | 01:53:32, September 19, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the All-Inclusive Cabinet Proposal of October 2112 |
| Message | You voted for a bill that would have banned all defense industries. In the past you have attempted to restrict/ban personal ownership of firearms. |

| Message | Don't forget my attempts to ban nuclear, biological, chemical weapons, and arms exports. Oh, and my membership in the International WMD Abolition Movement. I'm not ashamed of my record in non-violence, But I see it as a selling point not a flaw. |

| Message | Im just saying we differ on that point. I see the only legitimate role of government to be protecting the citizens. As such, the most important ministries are Defense and Justice, as these are the only places that the government has a right, and a responsibility, to be involved(Foreign Affairs too, but to a lesser extent). Given your many votes of absolute pacifism in the past, I find it hard to believe that the DSP would be able or willing to sufficiently defend Lodamun if needed. |
