| Message | I'm doing this so other parties, outside the conservative coalition, might help out conservatives sometime with bills. I will not accept the progressives to be in the cabinet and step all over the government at the same time. |
| Date | 22:44:01, March 02, 2009 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | The PP would have also like the Environment and Tourism cabinet. Through we are happy the CU is taking the step in working together. |
| Date | 22:49:55, March 02, 2009 CET | From | Conservative Union | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | Well right now the cabinet is sort of tight, however this, I suppose you could say, a test for how these parties shall work together. |
| Date | 22:53:04, March 02, 2009 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | We shall support this but, we hope later down the road we can get more of an agreement that will benefit both of our sides. |
| Date | 23:06:05, March 02, 2009 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | We urge the other members of the coalition support this. |
| Date | 23:25:59, March 02, 2009 CET | From | New Socialist Alliance | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | We urge the Coalition to vote against. this is obviously some right wing tactic to split the left by graciously letting some of us into government. Don't give into temptation. One united opposition. |
| Date | 23:28:43, March 02, 2009 CET | From | Conservative Union | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | Or how about: One united country. |
| Date | 23:30:57, March 02, 2009 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | We have told the SA that we need this to be passed, we can not assume everything is a right wing attack or a left wing attack. Our Government will just stand not united again like it is being right now. We can not get everything we want. We feel the SA is doing this mostly because they are not in it, we have told the SA to address it why they are not in the cabinet. |
| Date | 23:50:50, March 02, 2009 CET | From | New Socialist Alliance | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | Once all parties unite into a singal unified government you get a one party state. Vote no! Support Democracy! |
| Date | 00:20:06, March 03, 2009 CET | From | Alorian Populist Party (DemCoa) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2719 |
| Message | I have nothing against non-partisanship. However, I would usually only be wiling to support a cabinet that includes all coalition parties (myself, PP, DCP and SA) Even if each only gets one seat, SA is right. At the same time, I appreciate what the CU is doing, and I would like to see more. Also, HHS is a very important seat, and a Progressive Party in charge of it would be a welcome change. the same is true of education and science. But you must include the SA. We will support, in the spirit of non-partisanship, but if in one year's time, you haven't corrected the mistake of not including SA, HHS will resign, forcing the President to make a new cabinet. |
