| Date | 23:44:35, October 30, 2011 CET | From | Socialist People's Party (LL) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 3205 |
| Message | We do not feel we can participate in this government - We feel our size in the legislature is not well represented in the cabinet, indeed this is also true for others such as the Libertarian-Socialists. Also we feel our positions would be too divergent, we cannot participate in government under a bourgeois party. |
| Date | 00:14:09, October 31, 2011 CET | From | People's Centrist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 3205 |
| Message | I'm trying to do it as fair as possible. I was wanting to give every party at least two cabinet seats. |
| Date | 00:52:36, October 31, 2011 CET | From | Socialist People's Party (LL) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 3205 |
| Message | But do you not think the government should represent the legislature, and be cohesive ideologically? |

| Message | Hey DT I thought you said you were going to support this cabinet? |
| Date | 04:03:57, October 31, 2011 CET | From | Dark Templar (LL) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 3205 |
| Message | We were but seeing as DSPP is rejecting the cabinet It does not matter how we vote on this cabinet. DT would be happy to participate in the next cabinet proposal. Should DT be included in the next cabinet we would like to make a special petition for the Ministries of Internal Affairs as and Education/Culture |

| Message | Very well. |
| Date | 06:42:26, October 31, 2011 CET | From | Social Democratic Party (LL) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 3205 |
| Message | If any party included in the cabinet does not vote for it, it can't pass anyway. So once DSPP rejected the cabinet, it really didn't affect things how anyone else voted. |
| Date | 12:44:17, October 31, 2011 CET | From | SCI Libertarian-Socialist Syndicate (LL) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 3205 |
| Message | Indeed, it can be difficult to form unity cabinets, because it requires a unanimous vote. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
