| Message | While the PPOL would rather not have the goverment formed this way, it will at least ensure a cabinet can be formed in a timely fashion. |

| Message | I don't agree with this proposal, however, I would accept one that allows both the head of State and largest party to propose a cabinet, at least given the current situation. |

| Message | But that isn't a possible option yet - I'll post it on the forum though |

| Message | I think is the best solution - I will vote for this and but will try to turn it back. In real parliamentary democracy any coalition among any number of parties can exist, as long as they all together have over 50% of the seats. The means the biggest party doesn't have to be in the coalition at all !!! ( although it most of the times is the case) |

| Message | I thought it was, but just re-read the laws...hmm, bugger. In this circumstance I will vote for (it seems to be the only way to get a new cabinet, however we do still have one, it's just the previous one), however once a new cabinet is formed, I will probably introduce a bill to return it to its former position. |

| Message | Why did everybody vote NO on my proposal of the exact same thing? You all hate me :( |
| Date | 22:43:20, April 27, 2005 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the Cabinet Formation Reform |
| Message | No - we like it how it is but te Rhinos are too inactive to propose a cabinet. We need to pass this so a cabinet can be formed and then we will revert to the old style. |
