| Message | The Confederation has proposed an alternative cabinet which also includes a manifesto of coalition legislation. We prefer that this method be used to form a coalition, and therefore we humbly ask the United party to and this chamber to give our proposed cabinet precedent over this one. Edwin Primrose, Governor General of Hutori |

| Message | If the United Leftist Front were to join such a coalition, they would betray the very principles they claim to stand on. I urge leaders of the UFL to reject this offer and instead negotiate with parties closer to their beliefs. |
| Date | 03:17:51, July 02, 2013 CET | From | Moderate Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 3508 |
| Message | The Front rises to a point of order. Under the original rules governing coalition formations, only one coalition can be proposed and considered at a time. Therefore, this is the one that the PC3508 is currently offering. The second has to be voided. Should the PC3508 wish to have a coalition reconsidered, they must ask for a new election. |

| Message | Point of Order, The United Party is the author of this bill. The Front correctly notes that the plurality party has proposed an alternate coalition, but as we are not the author of this current coalition agreement, the plurality party is not in any way bound by this proposal. Indeed, if the first in time coalition proposal automatically invalidates all subsequent proposals, a party could in practice stall the formation of a coalition for many months merely by being the first to propose a coalition. The constitution states that all parties are free to propose coalitions, and we in the Confederation have proposed ours; to which we hope the Front will join as a member. Respectfully, Governor General Primrose |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We apologize for this error. It has been a tradition for the plurality to propose the first coalition agreement, so this caught us by surprise. We shall move forward on the official proposal from the PC3508. |
