| Message | Why would the progressive party want to join a coalition with the DLP knowing the DLP will withdraw from the government if the progressive party dosen't vote the DLP partys way? |
| Date | 17:08:38, June 08, 2010 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party of Cobura | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2950 |
| Message | We withdrew from your so-called unity coalition, because you had a majority and where throwing your weight about, while claiming unity. This is a different sitution. The Progressive Party knows this |

| Message | Same old by the same old parties. The DLP are whiny, while the Republicans made an honest attempt to work across the board, but the DLP proved once and for all that they and they're communist politicians can't cooperate. It's a sad day for our nation when the DLP and Progressives form a coalition. |

| Message | The Coffee Party has just proven how insane they really are. No member of the DLP are communist, and we are not a communist party. The DLP is a democratic socialist party, with a proven track record in government, and of co-operating across board. But we could not sit around the same cabinet table as the Republicans, not when they were launching attacks on the poor, on the working class, on unions and on the worst off in society. We were formed to fight for these very people. |

| Message | Democratic Socialism, Communism, what difference does it make? You're on the same track and it doesn't matter where on the track you are, the train's gonna hit you at some point. |
| Date | 21:59:52, June 08, 2010 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party of Cobura | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2950 |
| Message | The Coffee Party clearly has to learn the difference between Socia Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Socialism and Communism. Maybe they should go and study politics, before making ill-informed remarks. Lucy Franklin, DLP Backbencher, and NEC Chairperson. |

| Message | I'm sorry, but Socialism isn't Democratic. Never was. In the big picture the difference is small between the two. |
| Date | 23:26:54, June 08, 2010 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party of Cobura | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2950 |
| Message | The Coffee Party clearly knows nothing of politics, that is clear. As I said before, get lessons on politics, and political idealogies, instead of spouting tired old far right rhetoric, which means nothing. |
| Date | 07:44:25, June 09, 2010 CET | From | Coffee Party New Republicans | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2950 |
| Message | Communism is the lunatic sister of Democratic Socialism. |
| Date | 16:15:56, June 09, 2010 CET | From | Coffee Party New Republicans | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of October 2950 |
| Message | We are also appaled that a change of gov't is taking so long. |
