| Message | We support this but we would ask for voting to be held off until the next election. The cabinet should be based on the political situation after the election not before. If this is an attempt to maintain power and influence in the executive for parties that will loose seats in the legislature then it is wrong. |

| Message | If it is wrong, the BFP should vote 'no' or 'abstain.' If ethics are less a priority than cabinet presence, then we point out how the BFP is being shortchanged. If cabinet positions are largely determined by vote share, does the BFP believe they will only gather 7% of the vote the parties in this coalition will gather collectively? Taking all parties into consideration this 7% figure plunges into nothing. We all know the BFP will perform much better than this. Anyone you cut it, the BFP is being used as cheap insurance in case the Right loses votes. The BFP will be rewarded with only one cabinet position for propping up this coalition. |
