| Message | must admit it gets annoying, i don't mind not being in cabinet but when you are and then next day a far smaller party proposes a cabinet that gives you nothing but a token position it does get rather irritating. |

| Message | You could have proposed your own... This only means that we would have had to stick with the L-PUs choice and you would get even less. This bill means that the largest party (or parties ONLY if there is a tie) gets the choice. Our cabinet gave you an extra post and both ministries actually do something rather than the tiny HoG with a 100,000 budget. Why complain? |

| Message | We can't support. If you want cabinet posts, propose a cabinet and compromise. |

There is no requirement to change the law governing this, parties may propose as many cabinets as they want, it doesn't mean they will pass.

| Message | I did propose my own and it passed. But with 108 seats and the largest party amd recieving only one post is unfair, especially after I was very inclusive in mine. |
