| Message | The Unionists are being stubborn and not committing to any coalition. The rest of the parties are silent. Therefore it is up to the three remaining active parties to govern until the next election. |
| Date | 22:39:47, June 04, 2017 CET | From | Social Democratic Party (SDP) | To | Debating the First Provisional Government Proposal of June 4221 |
| Message | We will join this cabinet but only under the condition that we work together. We are progressive and you are conservative. We both need to make compromises. If that's not possible we will not join this cabinet. |
| Date | 22:45:32, June 04, 2017 CET | From | SUN | To | Debating the First Provisional Government Proposal of June 4221 |
| Message | Agreed, that is why we propose it is non-partisan. We propose we work on fixing the budget and revising taxes so we are losing billions of SOL every year and possibly getting a few bilateral trade agreements to build diplomatic and economic strength. |
