Votes: This bill presents the formation of a cabinet. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. Traditionally, parties in the proposal vote yes, others (the opposition) vote no. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in and all parties in the proposal have voted yes, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.

Description[?]:
| This is a cabinet in opposition to SNC fascist policies including anti-gay rhetoric, anti-women rhetoric, and other awful positions. This cabinet has various economic beliefs ranging from socialist to progressive to centrist to free-market, but that's okay. This is a cabinet centered around freedom-orientated beliefs on civil liberties and being against backwards-thinking social conservatism. |

| Message | The DUP cannot support this as it mostly includes the SFP and the 2 new parties. I can see a little pact being created here. |

| Message | That's a ridiculous assumption. Our last cabinet Zenny and the Libertarian Socialists requesting for only one seat a piece because they had less seats in the legislature. |

| Message | Listen, we know we have differences with you, but it is mathematically impossible to form a cabinet that doesn't include the SNC or SFP, and therefore, why would you want to let the SNC, who are actually insane, rise to power instead of working with us who are willing to be bipartisan. |

| Message | Actually, I have similar views of the SFP and SNC. Let's start with the SFP, they believe in civil liberties and freedom of speach ect which I strongly support but they do not regulate the market and promote free trade and spending cuts. While the SNC are conservative and my party cannot support them because of this. We agree with them on socialism though. Therefore I struggle to work with either of the two. |

| Message | Do you realize that denying this cabinet and making the DRP unsure about the stability here has led the SNC to more power than ever? Thank you DUP for that, as now we know how far you are willing to go to make the SNC rise to power. Your whining over not having two cabinet seats has lead to fascist control of foreign affairs, internal affairs, defence, and education. That means that there is the potential of awful foreign policy, an aggressive police force, an aggressive military, and an indoctrinating school system. I'm glad the DUP showed us what they wanted all along. President Walter Bing |

| Message | President Walter Bing, stop complaining! You forced to work with the SNC in government now. Just this time the SFP doesnt have power in the cabnit. HAHAHA |

| Message | SFP don't blame me for your lack of leadership. It was you who failed to propose a cabinet fit enough to benefit all parties. Cracov Leader of the DUP |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
