| Message | Hopefully this bill will be the agreed upon version, as we have tried to include all the major parties. |
| Date | 08:24:58, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | "The cabinet should not be about giving every party a position, but rather representing the people's wishes": the words, I believe, of our esteemed former president, Jack Waffles. This proposal consistently dilutes the authority of the top 3 parties in our parliament, which among them have garnered a sizable majority of the votes. |
| Date | 08:26:51, May 14, 2005 CET | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | Even we agree with the Communist party on this. |
| Date | 08:37:13, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Sanctaphrax Party (Mod) | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | However, note that all the parties in the bill have similar views, therefore it is the same as giving only the Socialists and Sanctaphrax Parties seats, because all the parties in there share views on most things. |
| Date | 08:38:29, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Sanctaphrax Party (Mod) | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | We have given both Socialists and Kellarlites the seats that they refuse to give up, so we do not see why the Socialists complain? |
| Date | 11:07:41, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | Of course we are against this proposal anyway, but we also urge all parties to vote against it because it was taken to a vote after only 2 parties--the Communist Party and the Socialist Party (SSKC)--had commented on it, a violation of the Lengthening of Debate Act. |
| Date | 12:18:46, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Kellarly Party | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | Its not that I refuse to give up the defense seat, its just as I have expereince in that area, so i think i am the best qualified right now. If that ever changes, please sack me. |
| Date | 12:45:51, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Sanctaphrax Party (Mod) | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | This is irrelevant, we are granted two vetoes, so check your facts before stirring up trouble. Slander and lies seem to be the main communist running platform. |
| Date | 15:46:33, May 14, 2005 CET | From | Ruthlessly Random Party | To | Debating the SSKC Sanctaphrax Cabinet Proposal |
| Message | Anyone else feel like keeping the current cabinet until the next election? |
