| Message | No, no you don't PPP says no and he keeps his 4 seats, he says yes and then he supports giving commies seats AND losing 2 of his own. Makes no sense, BDP you're a weakling, why do you include Communists in your coalition? |

| Message | CUP: see "Cabinet Proposal of October 2197". TASP and NMRP had 0 seats. You voted no and defeated the proposal. In fact, you have basically refused to pass a new cabinet, despite the fact that our current cabinet includes seats from the BNP and BFP that no longer exist. In fact, 6 posts are either vacant or occupied by parties that no longer exist. Of the 7 that are occupied, 4 are by the PPP (7 seats) and 1 by you (8 seats) and 2 by me (16 seats). That’s 31 seats, slightly less then a third of Beluzia. More interestingly, you have 1/7 of the cabinet posts (14.3%) (and the most important post) but only 8% of the national vote. Is it any surprise that you don’t want a new cabinet to be passed? All that being said a new cabinet has to be passed. Political times change, party seat distribution changes, and cabinets change Your motives are self centered: you want to remain the head of government, and will not compromise. If you supported my cabinets that did not include the "communists" (your words, not mine) then perhaps I would not have to propose cabinets that included the aforementioned. To be completely honest, these “communists” are putting the better interests of Beluzia before their own interests right now. And that, more then my right leaning ideology, is the core belief of the BDP. If compromise makes me a weakling, then I am guilty. If putting the interests of my country before the interests of my ideology makes me a weakling, then I am guilty. However, I believe it’s better to be hated for who you are, then loved for what your not. My proposal stands. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
