| Message | Now it would appear that I have no choice but to share a cabinet with the socialists. It is therefore that I propose that rather than having three parties, in a situation of two against one, we rather switch to an equal footing and have one on one for balance. |
| Date | 07:38:41, November 06, 2005 CET | From | Txurruka/Aperribai/Mayoz's OPX | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | Having had a proper look at the current cabinet, its also quite insulting that the third largest party, Praetor or no, has two of the big three portfolios while their "allies" (or perhaps the term bitch party would be more appropriate) are given chicken feed. Its highly unbalanced. |
| Date | 15:59:00, November 06, 2005 CET | From | National Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | I trust the RSA will agree with me when I say this is merely an irritating attempt by the LibLibs to snatch more power from the current cabinet, and does not deserve the dignification of proper arguement against. |
| Date | 01:07:25, November 07, 2005 CET | From | Txurruka/Aperribai/Mayoz's OPX | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | In other words, "I have no power in this cabinet! Boo hoo! Where's my mummy?" |
| Date | 13:06:08, November 07, 2005 CET | From | National Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | It seems only the LibLibs find this appealing. Out of touch, are we? |
| Date | 18:29:34, November 07, 2005 CET | From | Revolutionary Socialist Alliance | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | It seems to me like a tactical way of reducing left-wing positions. It may benefit my party at a glance, but it also means you get more power and cuts down a socialist majority in cabinet. |
| Date | 23:29:17, November 07, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | This cabinet proposal is more appealing than the status quo; our 'no' vote is a procedural matter. We sincerely doubt that were the RSA familiar with the history of the ISP, they would still want to share power with them. |
| Date | 23:29:35, November 07, 2005 CET | From | Txurruka/Aperribai/Mayoz's OPX | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | Actually socialists would hold 7/13 portfolios, if one includes the position of Praetor, which chairs the cabinet. |
| Date | 03:32:31, November 08, 2005 CET | From | Optimates Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2136 |
| Message | Justice in the hands of socialists? Brr! Causes shivers up my right wing spine. Out of general principles I must oppose. |
