| Message | NLP, we my party an yours agree only 54% of the time on legislation. To have an effective government as Philosopher I must choose those parties that have the most agreeable record with mine or else I can't get any policy work passed. When your party ascends to the position of Philsopher, as in this democracy it has every opportunity to do so, you will do the same and my party will be in the opposition. |

| Message | Who else would I put on the cabinet? As you can see, I do not agree with most people in the Senate. I would Include the TPP, PPP, and the DCP. |
| Date | 02:33:42, June 10, 2005 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2065 |
| Message | The party is asking for representation as the minister of Justice. |
| Date | 02:37:14, June 10, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2065 |
| Message | If the rest of the parties agree to this I am willing to offer. |
| Date | 02:37:56, June 10, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2065 |
| Message | However, I do like the current composition of the cabinet as these parties not only agree most with my own but also represent the largest numbers of seats. |
| Date | 04:13:43, June 10, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Centre Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2065 |
| Message | I would prefer to stick with the current 4 parties, which is a logical arrangement. There is some merit to giving the NLP a post of some sort though... maybe we could make an NLP deputy the Speaker of the Congress? |

| Message | Its not a cabinet position though. Well look, we have to have a certain degree of efficiency and having a party that agrees with my policies only 54% of the time would simply go against this principle. However, they have much power as an opposition party anyway, its part of our democracy. |
