| Message | We agree with this proposal. Although the VP is ideologically less compatible with the other coalition parties than the BDK, it is a party of trustworthy and reasonable people. Dr. Sebastian Schiller LP-Fraktionsvorsitzender |
| Date | 18:21:56, March 10, 2012 CET | From | Volkspartei | To | Debating the SED-VP-LP-RKP coalition |
| Message | Ladies and gentlemen - the Volkspartei was badly hurt by our decision to work alongside the right. We feel that our coalition of national Unity, which brought together the left and right, was too right. Therefore, yes, we are more than happy to work alongside the left again. Johan Braun VP Leader |

| Message | "Too right[-wing]"? Amusing to see the Volkspartei jumping head-first into the parallel universe that the socialists have created for themselves. Consult the historical record: we bent over backwards to compromise with the Volkspartei and the Linkspartei, introducing a highly progressive tax system in return for extremely minor liberalisation measures. We handed over the Bundeskanzleramt and the finance ministry to you, despite the fact that the Volkspartei had received a pitiful vote share and just one-third of our representation in parliament. The Linkspartei and Volkspartei, by contrast, showed a complete unwillingness to accept even the slightest bit of compromise. The message to the electorate is clear: the socialists' cancerous attraction to lies and distortions has now infected the Volkspartei. - Laura Seidel, Vorsitzende der Konservativen Partei. |

| Message | [OOC: sorry for not responding to the previous poll; midterms caught up with me and I didn't check the site. I was going to have the results of the referendum be to reject the coalition anyway, but apologies for not making that in-game formal.] |

| 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. |
