| Message | That's quite a coalition you have there. How the Independent Freedom Party fits in there I don't know. CNT/AFL and Democratic Socialist Party of Lodamun would lose power in the cabinet if this is passed. |
| Date | 22:26:06, February 27, 2006 CET | From | Conservative People's Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of May 2192 |
| Message | I don't see why the IFP fit in there either. It's also an odd sorting of the votes. The number of posts certainly don't match the number of seats. Obviously the CPP is going to vote no. |

| Message | Well as Dr Evil said "someone throw me a freaking bone here"...this is the first time someone inlcluded us in cabinet talks... On the other hand, this is a very inclusive cabinet, unlike most others. My vote of no is no reflection on Gil and his party. Another combination might work better. |

| Message | Right now I think is a perfect time for an inclusive cabinet. This is the first opportunity we've had in decades where petty bickering and partisanry haven't taken hold of Lodamunian politics and brought consensus to a standstill. Give every party a say, we say. |
