| Message | Putting together a coalition is tough. Not only do you have to give everyone something they want but everyone proposed has to agree to it and vote for it. While sometimes offering more parties is an asset, sometimes you have more luck with fewer. |

| Message | Our party has traditionally been on the center of Aldegarian politics. Particularly on issues centered around economic issues. We have and will continue to be willing to work with anyone. We're just sadden that with the death of the Social Democratic Party that there is a vacuum on the left of those willing to stand up and defend the monarchy. Those voters on the left have been abandoned and no doubt accounts for the recent volatility in todays Aldegar. |

| Message | Progress promised? During our time as the largest party the monarchy was abolished, our participation in the International Monarchists Treaty was withdrawn, about 19 bills proposed by us were passed, cabinet proposals we made THAT YOU VOTE YES TOO, as well as not being in government, and the fact you agreed with us back then on those things about 70% of the time; I know I checked. So it makes no sense for you to step in and say we only give promises? It just so happens that you are trying to make an enemy out of this and you are desperately trying to cross a point of no turning back with me. And before you blame ME for your cabinet proposal not passing, how about you introduce a fair proposal before every blaming anyone else here AGAIN. Oh and we were never "in power" we were the largest party and we were only in the cabinet for I think it was like 3 months. So check your sources MLP and when you shake your little finger at us notice that there is three fingers pointing right back at you. I'm done you with you. |

| Message | we regard those deeds as achievable as any party can accomplish, regardless of number of seats, and with all due respect, our statement was purely following suits with yours in the other proposal, which grossly juxtaposed our best attempt to share the power with as many parties as it deserves sharing, to evident rightist coagulation; our apology for not including you, but that does not mean you can behave sorely as such. technically you can always vote no and turn it down, and technically you can always comment on our choice of selection, and technically we can always argue with each other, so don't take it that hard as involving our 'little finger'. in the end, our brains talk, not our digits. and whoa, you took this matter far more seriously than we would expect anyone participating in a political simulation can get to. chillax, we only blamed you because you, pardon our choice of lexis, whined about it 'what have we done?' P.S. what does 'three fingers' represent? |
| Date | 14:36:26, August 11, 2008 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2619 |
| Message | The point of having elections is to find out which party is supported by the largest proportion of voters, and allowing that party to exercise its liberty in proposing a government. We have done that, and there is no reason to propose another government until the next election. |

| Message | When you point one finger notice how many are pointing back. |
