| Message | We agree with this proposal |
| Date | 20:52:00, January 02, 2015 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of November 3781 |
| Message | The UDP can not simply ignore that people have voted in the Freedom Party leaving the difference between the 1st and 2nd largest Party by few seats. Also it was a Freedom Party candidate that was elected Head of State. The UDP may be the opposition but the Party cant simply ignore that FP is a strong Party in the country. |

| Message | We have majority in the parliament and will not let FP/CNP cabinet to do its pro-corporate policies. The current cabinet was formed by not-representative parliament so you have no right to refer to voters now. We act according to the Constitution. |

| Message | We have no right to refer to voters? First of all we offered the UDP (before proposing the cabinet) a position of Prime Minister as they were the largest Party and still are, but at the time they refused because they did not want to cooperate with the opposing coalition and wanted to maintain the cabinet as it was. When the Freedom Party received this message we then decided to form a cabinet with only members of the CNP/FP coaltion. The dismentlement of the SPP was unfortunate because it left our parliament with a gap of seats, but this was corrected when there was an Early election to fill in these seats. In these election a candidate of the Freedom Party was again elected to be Head of State and we are the 2nd largest Party in the parliament with a difference of 6 seats between the 2nd and the 1st largest Party. Your coalition may have the majority in the Party but the SDP alone is 16 seats behind the largest Party and 10 seats behind the FP. We will refer to voters because a Party that has a member elected as Head of State and is 6 seats behind the largest Party can not pass without notice in a proposition of a cabinet. Also the FP has their own cabinet proposition that now includes a Party from your coalition because we do think its important to recognize the largest Party is a cabinet proposal. |
