| Message | We do not agree, we do not think we can come into an agreement with the CMAG about a government program. We only will agree if the privatisations that have been executed in the former government are cancelled |
| Date | 01:18:22, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Jakanian Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | Unfortunatly for you, in a democratic society the PDSS will be forced to come to agreement with other parties if it wants to be in the new government. Its either your in or your not, besides CMAG is a very leniant party that we can easily compromise with. So, your choice, either you accept the possibility of having to compromise with someone or dont participate in the new government... |
| Date | 10:44:26, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Party for a Democratic Socialist Society | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | That is what we were saying just before: our party has got certain principles that it doesn't want to give up, so again, if our program cannot be even partially executed, we do not want to be a part of this government. |
| Date | 10:48:49, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Moderate Democratic Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | Well I think that I can work with this, I hope that this new cabinet will help the parties of United Jakania to be united. |
| Date | 15:43:00, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Party for a Democratic Socialist Society | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | Why do you put this bill to vote. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE part of the national cabinet, given the current political discussions going on. |
| Date | 20:39:58, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Jakanian Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | Because, to have a United Jakania we need parties from all over the spectrum in the cabinet. You are the largest party of the Extreme left, this is why we still included you. If you dont want to be in it you can simply resign when this bill passes. |
| Date | 21:25:37, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Party for a Democratic Socialist Society | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | BTW, I heard on the forum this is a very bad idea, a no-vote from one of the parties in the cabinet counts as a veto |
| Date | 22:56:36, January 16, 2006 CET | From | CMAG | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | I see no reason to oppose this cabinet. |
| Date | 00:22:05, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Jakanian Naturalists | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of July 2171 |
| Message | We fully support it because our cabinet positions are respectable. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
