| Message | This is exactly the sort of anti-democratic agitation that we've come to expect from the Anarchitarians, and the very reason why we propose constitutional change. The FSP and the Einheitspartei have endorsed our run for the Federal Presidency. Why in Gods name would they now support this 'cordon sanitaire' government? |
| Date | 16:05:45, July 22, 2008 CET | From | FreiStaatsPartei | To | Debating the B. A-2: Cabinet Proposal Excluding Nationalliberale Partei |
| Message | It seems irresponsible to have the largest party excluded entirely from government. Though we are flattered we have been offered an inordinate share of cabinet seats, we feel it goes against the will and spirit of the people of the Nation, for whom we are ultimately answerable. |

| Message | You know what that's called? A bribe! They're even giving seats to a party that isn't even represented in parliament! |
| Date | 16:19:21, July 22, 2008 CET | From | Militärregierung - Alte Kämpfergruppe | To | Debating the B. A-2: Cabinet Proposal Excluding Nationalliberale Partei |
| Message | To be honest, it is not really irresponsible to exclude the largest party, governments do it all the time. |
| Date | 16:20:41, July 22, 2008 CET | From | Nationalliberale Partei | To | Debating the B. A-2: Cabinet Proposal Excluding Nationalliberale Partei |
| Message | A majority of the house has already come out against this legislation. A government of Nationalliberale Partei, Freistaatspartei and Einheitspartei is what this country deserves. |
