| Message | Please note that the Beluzian cabinet has for two years been filled by Liberal Socialist and Liberal Democrat ministers - ministers without mandates, whose parties have now lost two successive elections. see: http://classic.particracy.net/viewcabinet.php?nationid=9 We would encourage the Assembly to at least consider the minority option - provided that all other proposals fail - as a placeholder cabinet. It would not preclude us seeking a proper majority government later. To continue to vote "no" against any cabinet proposal is to continue to endorse the squatter ministers from the Lib Socs and Lib Dems. |

| Message | We currently have two proposals on the table which can form a government with your vote. The Government should represent the majority of those to participated in voting and that should be made up in its cabinet, representing politically diverse and vibrant forms of opinion. A cabinet made up of a party which received less than 20% of the vote, while amusing, would dismay some parts of our movement. We are willing to consider this if no other option can be found, and we will also put forth other cabinet formations. |

| Message | Indeed. It is a default option. One which would remain only a placeholder, and not preclude further coalition talks. It just seemed an anomaly that we still had a remnant cabinet of Lib Socs and Lib Dems, last elected in 3636, and now clinging to office. With the Liberal parties now impeached by the Assembly ombudsman, Beluzia lacks even a minority cabinet. 20% is better than 0%. You wouldn't want to give Grand Consul Wedgewood a heart attack from overwork, would you? |

| Random fact: Don't put "the" as the first word in your party name, because when parties are referred to in news reports, their names are preceded with "the", e.g. the [Socialist Party] has lost. |
