| Message | Mr. President, We firmly believe in progressive politics. However, we also recognise that the Gaduridos voters have decided to split votes between the progressive and the conservative parties. We understand that many parties in this nation want to have the chance to rule. We appreciate that GG has once again asked us to be part of this new government. However, we feel that it would be a better reflection of the voting outcome if GG and Labour start negotiations with PCP and SCP to form a broad middle government. We do see that voters gave us as the GPA 5 more seats than the previous elections, but we feel that we would do Gaduridos an injustice if we wouldn't allow the PCP as the largest single winner of the elections a place at the negotiating table. |

| Message | The GPA seems to be a bit confused, since the PCP is not the largest single winner of the elections. It is not even the second largest winner of the elections. Nor the third. It is prepostorous that the GPA would think that the vote reflects a middle government, when there was a clear shift from voters towards the progressive wing of parliament. If the GPA denies that, they are denying the voters' will. |

| Message | However, we recommend that the GPA follow their reasoning, and resign from a cabinet they do not believe in. |
| Date | 00:31:21, June 15, 2018 CET | From | Gaduridos Labour [PAG] | To | Debating the GG-GL-GPA-GCP Cabinet Proposal of August 4408: Government of Progress II |
| Message | It is up to representatives to form a strong majority government that represents the a clear policy platform for the nation. We cannot be pulling in two directions simply to create 'jobs for the boys' across all parties. Gaduridos needs clear leadership, and confusing our goals as a nation will not achieve that. A grand coalition is bad not only for the Government but for the ability of the opposition Conservative bloc to provide a strong a robust opposition that is in the greatest tradition of stable democracies. Having a voice outside Government proposing an alternate view is a good thing, and a democratic thing. Bringing everyone in the tent to stifle opposition and murky the waters of this Government's platform is not something that Labour will endorse. |
| Date | 07:02:58, June 15, 2018 CET | From | Progressive Conservative Party | To | Debating the GG-GL-GPA-GCP Cabinet Proposal of August 4408: Government of Progress II |
| Message | When GPA suggested that PCP was "the largest single winner of the elections," we believe they were referring to the fact that we picked up the most seats of any party, not that we won the most seats of any party. Regardless, we're happy to negotiate. However, it seems that such negotiations are unlikely to be productive considering Labour does not wish to see a grand coalition. If the GPA is unwilling to remain in the progressive cabinet, it may be best to hold another round of elections. |
