| Message | "In constructing this cabinet, I kept in mind the power of unity. Our government should be united and to be united it must be fairly represented. So, I took into account the percentage of seats each party earned. Republican Party: 155 seats, 20.66 percent of seats, 2.4792 percent of cabinet positions, rounded down to two. Stanton House: 126 seats, 16.8% of seats, which translates roughly to two cabinet positions for them as well. The rest of the parties earned enough seats through this method to be granted one position each, save my own party, which, due to my being elected president, receives the most positions – three. I believe this to be the most fair way to represent each party. Input is allowed and I will attempt to accommodate everybody, but I must stress the need to limit the top two parties to two seats and the rest to one, besides my own party, since, again, I have been elected President. If you support this cabinet, say, "Aye". Otherwise, say "Nay" and present any changes you deem necessary." –Jordan Fennessy, President of Beluzia |

| Message | Thank you for the opportunity, i'm also happy to announce that in a single election the Labour Party went from the smallest party with 0 seats to the third biggest party with 90 seats. |

| Message | We will vote yes, we do however believe that in the future the cabinet should be spread more evenly between parties. |
| Date | 10:34:44, March 27, 2017 CET | From | United Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of June 4186 |
| Message | The UPB is going to abstain on voting unless the BRRP and NPP change their votes, we are doing this because regardless of our opinions on this cabinet it doesn't matter as the proposal will fail due to the BRRP and NPP voting no. |
| Date | 10:55:57, March 27, 2017 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of June 4186 |
| Message | What the UPB's statement is untrue, over half the votes are in favour and the bill only needs half so it will be passed and the BRRP and NPP will not be able to stop the bill from being passed. |
| Date | 11:15:10, March 27, 2017 CET | From | Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of June 4186 |
| Message | 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. It will not pass.

| Message | To the Labour Party, new parties typically jump up a few seats (Usually to one of the top 3) in their 1st real election, and the most recent one was your's. |
| Date | 17:05:46, March 27, 2017 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of June 4186 |
| Message | To the NPP i understand that, what i mean is each party should get maybe 1 or 2 cabinet ministers so that it would be even. |
