| Date | 14:00:35, April 15, 2016 CET | From | Democratic Movement | To | Debating the United Front for Freedom and Democracy Cabinet Resolution |
| Message | PPB does not hold a majority, nor a monopoly on which majority can form a government. |

| Message | We are the party most voted by our nation, and you decide to let them out of the cabinet. Smart move |
| Date | 17:46:35, April 15, 2016 CET | From | National Front | To | Debating the United Front for Freedom and Democracy Cabinet Resolution |
| Message | Next to half of all votes went directly to the two parties you left out. Some "Democratic" approach indeed. It is very clear that the purpose of this bill is to form an Anarcho-Communist coalition within the cabinet. |

| Date | 19:13:48, April 15, 2016 CET | From | Baltusian Communist Pro-life Party | To | Debating the United Front for Freedom and Democracy Cabinet Resolution |
| Message | We ask the TFP to not join such a government, as such as a thing as slavery is incompatible with the very idea of freedom |
| Date | 05:44:19, April 16, 2016 CET | From | Democratic Movement | To | Debating the United Front for Freedom and Democracy Cabinet Resolution |
| Message | A majority is able to command the confidence of the house. If True Freedom Party had as much vision as their party's very name suggests, they would join the people and form with them an agenda of liberation and justice. They would also see, among the other parties of the proposed coalition, that our numbers add up to is 51.6% of the seats, which were distributed to our parties both democratically and proportionally. The only legitimate claims to cabinet position are those who can form a majority, and we four parties can form a majority of and for the peace and freedom of all individuals and trade between mutual partners. The choice is in our hands to do something about the issues that PPB hesitate to act upon, and to reject and repress the brutal agenda of slaughter presented by the National Front. And next to half is not half, it is short of a majority and that's the way the voters made it. If you truly have the guts to oppose the people on their general will as expressed in proportional representation, then you do that and see what happens. The four parties of the proposed coalition have a legitimate right to form the majority and share their mandates for a free and fair country. |

| Message | Our cabinet passed, this cabinet will not pass, I regret to inform. |
| Date | 18:55:45, April 16, 2016 CET | From | National Front | To | Debating the United Front for Freedom and Democracy Cabinet Resolution |
| Message | It appears that the True Freedom Party realizes that DM merely uses "Democracy" as a false pretense to seize control of the government. For that, we commend them. |
| Date | 19:02:56, April 16, 2016 CET | From | Baltusian Communist Pro-life Party | To | Debating the United Front for Freedom and Democracy Cabinet Resolution |
| Message | We strongly condemn the TFP' they say they protect freedom and yet they let a party who suppot slavery in government, this is not acceptable. |
