| Message | Previous comments taken into account. The duties are still spread out. Moved to vote. |
| Date | 10:50:31, April 27, 2005 CET | From | Chorus of Amyst | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2043 |
| Message | The MLP would have Lodamun's Department of Foreign Affairs controlled by a party that believes it makes sense to open our borders completely and to actually pay for all immigrants to better assimilate into our culture? The CCF would break our economy, our infrastructure, and our defense with its foreign affairs agenda. |
| Date | 12:00:51, April 27, 2005 CET | From | Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2043 |
| Message | The MLP trusts that the CCF would do a good job in Foreign Affairs. Action would be taken in a Cabinet Reshuffle if the CCF abuses its position. |
| Date | 14:11:01, April 27, 2005 CET | From | Chorus of Amyst | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2043 |
| Message | The Council must respectfully disagree, and cannot support such a nomination. |
| Date | 17:45:37, April 27, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2043 |
| Message | The CCF thanks the MLP for its expression of confidence. May we also point out to our friends in the Amystian Council (with whom we are pleased to share cabinet duties) that no foreign affairs decision may be taken without the ratification of parliament. In addition, refugee settlement policy is a migration issue under the purview of internal affairs, and defence, infrastructure and the like are seprate portfolios. |

| Message | (oops, my mistake, i see refugee policy has been reclassified under foreign affairs. However, the point that no law can be passed without the consent of parliament stands.) |
| Date | 22:51:35, April 27, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2043 |
| Message | Can't say I'm happy that the Amystian Council is in charge of the Economy, but I will support this. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
