| Message | I'm just going to state this here, but I've known this for a while now.... The SCI will *never* work with either of these two parties in a cabinet. |
| Date | 08:52:41, May 12, 2012 CET | From | National Liberal Party | To | Debating the Re-organization of the Army bill |
| Message | I already knew that. |
| Date | 14:33:39, May 12, 2012 CET | From | SCI Libertarian-Socialist Syndicate (LL) | To | Debating the Re-organization of the Army bill |
| Message | I'm sure both of you knew that, which is why my statement was aimed more at my current coalition members: DT and CCC. |
| Date | 20:58:42, May 12, 2012 CET | From | People's Socialist Labour Party | To | Debating the Re-organization of the Army bill |
| Message | And the three of you do not have a majority/mandate and have already ignored the biggest party once. I'd love to see how you're going to manage doing it again. |
| Date | 21:08:08, May 12, 2012 CET | From | People's Socialist Labour Party | To | Debating the Re-organization of the Army bill |
| Message | In any case it's a little presumptuous to assume we would want to work with you. You're basically capitalists with a, er, green tie on. Wait, no. Er, well you get the idea anyway. |
| Date | 12:37:17, May 13, 2012 CET | From | SCI Libertarian-Socialist Syndicate (LL) | To | Debating the Re-organization of the Army bill |
