| Message | We feel that this proposal was not created with the intention of finally resolving the Cabinet crisis in Aloria. We arrived at this conclusion due to the fact that the Monarchist Party was included in the list. Despite the fact that it is a very old party, it has not been able to effectively establish its presence to the Alorian people, as evidenced by their election record and the description of their stances on certain issues. Thus, we believe that the Monarchist Party should be excluded until it can show that it truly is capable of handling a government position. |

| Message | Oh c'mon. The MP got ONE seat, which is fitting considering their status in parliament and their lack of bill introduction over the past 5-6 election cycles. GP, you forget that point it seems. Plus, you received excellent seats. Stop stifling progress. Our cabinet is grossly out of date. Propose an even-handed cabinet if you think this one is no good and stop wasting time. |

| Message | No, they didn't. The last time they've acquired a seat, it was in 2195. Actually, we'd like to see the MP in the Cabinet, considering some of their legislative contributions. But the fact that they don't have a seat makes us wonder if they can take on the task. For the sake of unity in Aloria, we'll change our vote to YES. But we do hope that the other parties do vote on this bill. That's basically the problem of this bill; it included all of the parties in Aloria. This makes it hard for it to pass, since we need all of them to vote. (OOC: Honestly, I don't expect all of them to vote.) We'll also heed your advice and create our own cabinet proposal. Hopefully, we can finally have a Cabinet in Aloria. |

| Message | We also apologize to the Monarchist Party for our words. We know it was wrong of us to be a bit too judgmental. For that, we apologize/ |

| Message | Libertarian Party, If you did not wish to work with "communists", which I assume you are referring to GPA, SA, and other non-libertarian parties, then why did you vote YES to this proposal by the MLP but said NO to our proposal? The "communists" are still here in the proposal. And their placement is basically the same as that of our proposal. SA still gets Prime Minister and Environment. GPA gets Defence (alone!). And the Liberal Party would still have Science and Justice. In fact, we actually designed our proposal to give more priority to the ones in the majority, that being you and your libertarian colleagues. Our basis was simply the current Cabinet and this proposal by the MLP. Yet you rejected it because you would be working with "communists"? And yet you approved THIS proposal by the MLP even though you'll inevitably be working with "communists"? Libertarian Party, we request for your answer. - Genuine Progress Alliance |
