| Message | This cabinet proposal is a middle-left suggestion. We think each party finds herself in a position her own main focus is fixed on, at least we think so. Also we tried to keep in mind the number of seat each party got in the last election. |

| Message | I think that's against ssp's principles: didn't he say he wouldn't go in a governement with you after the immigrants-schism? |
| Date | 19:35:43, January 09, 2006 CET | From | Selucian Sovereignty Party | To | Debating the IPS - Cabinet Proposal of October 2168 /#1 |
| Message | After seeing the inept job you did as Finance Minister, I'm supporting this cabinet so SLP can return to his rightful place. I want a finance minister who represents all Selucians, and not just the wealthiest five per cent. My preference would be to be left ouf of this cabinet altogether, with my spots going to the other parties already in the coalition. However, for the sake of the financial stability of this nation, I'm willing to support this cabinet (though IPS can feel free to amend this one and give my spots to other parties already in the coalition). |

| Message | Well, I thought over 50% of the seats (and therefor: people) supported the budget and the income tax, because it got passed. Maybe there is a bug in the game, if I were you, I would contact on of the moderators to check that |
| Date | 20:21:07, January 09, 2006 CET | From | Selucian Sovereignty Party | To | Debating the IPS - Cabinet Proposal of October 2168 /#1 |
| Message | No, clearly, over 50% supported your budget and tax proposal. That doesn't mean that I personally thought they were any good. I expected far better from someone who holds himself out to be some economic, business friendly expert. Instead, you were in the pocket of a very small economic elite, while the rest of Selucia suffered. I cannot in good concsience support a Finance Minister who would act in such a reckless way. Ultimately, the rest of the Senators will pass judgement on your performance through the cabinet proposal process. |

| Message | We will bring this to vote. If this fails the other one will follow. |
| Date | 01:48:17, January 11, 2006 CET | From | Selucian Sovereignty Party | To | Debating the IPS - Cabinet Proposal of October 2168 /#1 |
| Message | Given that the SNP has voted against this one, I'd suggest IPS reintroduce this cabinet, minus SNP, and redistribute SNP's seats amongst the other partners of the coalition. |
| Date | 11:43:42, January 11, 2006 CET | From | VBS Party | To | Debating the IPS - Cabinet Proposal of October 2168 /#1 |
| Message | I'd suggest IPS introduce the second proposal, like he promised |
| Date | 17:17:06, January 11, 2006 CET | From | Selucian Liberty Party | To | Debating the IPS - Cabinet Proposal of October 2168 /#1 |
| Message | What sense would it make to do that, VBS? Do you honestly believes he wants you in a cabinet? |
| Date | 17:25:50, January 11, 2006 CET | From | VBS Party | To | Debating the IPS - Cabinet Proposal of October 2168 /#1 |
| Message | According to me, I am in the cabinet right now... together with IPS! Maybe you should think before you post |
