Message | Mr President, With all due respect, this cabinet does not represent the will of the people. The right wing parties have received more than 50 per cent of the votes and the President needs us in order to pass any bill in congress or form a government, yet we are offered two positions out of 12. We therefore urge him to rethink this proposal and offer the right wing parties at least six of the cabinet positions (three for the patriots and three for the Conservatives) - this is fair. We also ask that I carry on as Home Secretary (Internal Affairs) and our candidate also holds the defence role and that the Conservatives get Justice Minister. If you meet these reasonable conditions, we feel we could work with you in a coalition government. Thank you Bathsheba Grey Patriotic Party Leader |

Message | Mr President, Constitutionally you have the right to propose any cabinet you wish and we respect this. However, our two parties would not be representing the 27 million people who voted for us (that's more than for the other six parties put together) if we did not baulk at this proposal. We also won four of the five states. We are willing to work with you but you must compromise. If you are now offering four seats that is a start; however, I ask you to consider at the very least FIVE positions for our two parties, with at least two of the prominent roles I have set out above. All our ministers have now vacated their roles in the cabinet awaiting your new proposal - it is now up to you to fill that new cabinet and form a government as soon as you can. If you can;t I suggest you call early elections and we go again. Bathsheba Grey |
