| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are not going to sit back and take minuscule positions in cabinet any longer. We shall oppose. Zachary Andrews Libertarian Senate Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We understand the Libertarian Party's dismay however, the only other cabinet proposed does not include them at all. So how does the Libertarian Party wish to move forward? Sen. Stephen Johnson (F-AD) |

| Message | Mr. Speaker The Royalists won't support this proposal either. Our three Cabinet positions we have little interest and it is apparent the National Democratic Party merely gave us three positions to fill out the Cabinet instead of seeking any imput from our Party on which positions we would be. If this is the sort of treatment we can expect from the NDP in future we will have no interest in forming cabinet with them. Senator Garret Walker Royalist Senate Leader OOC: The Royalists are going to be taking a massive harder and adamant turn towards the Monarchy this cycle. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, As the DP's proposal was put to vote immediately after the election cycle, we had no choice but to propose an alternative without any input before the original proposal could be passed. As such, we were not able to perfectly capture the desires of each party and tried our best to make do with the time we had. That being said, we are open to any insight. I would like to ask the Libertarian Party to name their price: we can offer the Science and Technology position in addition to either Head of Government or Foreign Affairs. The NDP will gladly take one and only one position in this Cabinet if it keeps our country unified. To the Royalist Party, you are forgetting decades of history in which the NDP has worked with the Royalists in order to keep the country going in a positive direction. State which positions you want, and we will work with the other parties involved to secure them for you. It was my father's decision to ask Leah Ross to remain Prime Minister during the first few years of the Republic, and I would be doing a disservice to my country if I did not seek to look across the aisle to those with differing opinions in the present day. Sir Samuel Williams Chair of the NDP Former President of the Federal Republic of Hutori |
