| Message | A coalition of the left and right excluding the middle. Interesting, but of course there is no justification to put you in charge of any government. |

| Message | You are voting a party solely designed to oppose you in charge of government? Boy you sure are a whore for cabinet spots. |

| Message | GHI would these be more of your famed consistancy in action? |
| Date | 23:59:20, January 16, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | (I know it isn't your proposal GHI, I meant consistancy w/in Luthori in general). |
| Date | 00:32:30, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | I'm guessing I'm GHI, but to be honest, we have a long history of placing both sides of politics within the cabinet. My only gripe is that I didn't get the environment, but I'm willing to forgo that for now. |

| Message | well looks like the Right will be back in power. |
| Date | 02:31:09, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | Yep, with NPH at its head. |
| Date | 02:51:47, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | NPH was forced to move to the right by the inconsistant position of the left. This mish-mash cabinet proposal was the last straw for NPH, the left in this country is weak and poorly organized, NPH was giving the direction and then they betrayed him. NPH will ensure the left never again sees power in Luthori. |
| Date | 03:01:39, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | The left were not weak, inconsistent, or poorly organised, they just didn't see why a right-wing newbie should be giving them directions. There was no betrayal, as betrayal, as a form of deception, is the violation of a social contract (trust, confidence) that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship between individuals, organisations, or individuals and organisations. There was no social contract, as you were not a member of the left-wing coalition, due to their right-wing stance. |
| Date | 03:14:11, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | Oh, so it was you that got all the liberalized laws passed? As for your social contract theory all I say is HA! You were getting the laws you wanted passed, but no more. The left will contiinue to die on the vine as NPH emerges as even a greater power. To call NPH a newbie simply demonstrates that you are out of touch w/ the average Luthori voter. |
| Date | 03:53:15, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | You, liberal you wanted to arm the police with military-grade weapons. Now that I think about it, maybe this is just a case of cultural differences, as America has a political spectrum where their left-wing would be considered right-wing or centrist by the rest of the world. |
| Date | 04:08:05, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | Hmmm, I wonder how much time you have spent studying the American political spectrum. There are fundemental differences in a bi-cameral vis-a-vis a mulit-cameral system, as for how far left our leftists are I think you are confused or simply uniformed. I am rather centrist, but that is because I am a pragmatist. As for military grade weapons for police, I like SWAT teams. America also has a different attitude towards guns, that might have something to do w/ the fact that many people here like myself, grew up going hunting. |
| Date | 04:21:54, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | 1. I have studied it for years. 2. You are not the only nation to have a bi-caramel legislature, the others seem to do well in being left-wing. 3. I am neither confused or uninformed. 4. Do you know what the S stands for in SWAT, special, as in not for all police. 5. Why do gun-totting Americans (not all Americans love guns) use the hunting excuse for every gun, surely the pistols and some small rifles would be enough. Do you really need assualt rifles to hunt? |
| Date | 04:38:01, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | If you have studied it then you are distributely miscontruing it. American politics is extremely complex due to the size of our country, the Democratic Party in South Dakota is very conservative; however, the same party is very liberal in Rhode Island. Most theorists believe that in a bicameral legislature parties end up close to the middle, the incentive for this is obvious although I forget the name of the theorist who originally proposed it. I don't remember seeing a party of the far left ever doing well in an election in a bicameral system. I like SWAT and would like all police to be similarly equiped. I said that hunting fosters an attitude towards guns which stems from hunting. You grow up around guns and you learn to respect them but not fear them, this culture does not only extend to shotguns but all guns. You also don't use pistols to hunt, those are mainly for self defense. Assault rifles are not needed or applicable to hunting, although a great deal of fun to shoot on a range and very helpful in asserting your rights. |

| Message | That word up there was supposed to be deliberately not distributely which to my knowledge is not a word. |
| Date | 04:41:22, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Free White Castle and The People Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 2172 |
| Message | On the bright side, STG no longer has to be a part of the government he was sick of as a result of this proposal, even though it didn't pass. |
