| Message | The People's Party getting a majority of the Cabinet seats is unfair. Cabinet proposals shouldn't be decided based on how big and powerful one party is in the legislature |
| Date | 02:59:20, June 21, 2019 CET | From | Social Democratic Party of Beluzia | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 4594 |
| Message | Then how should it be decided? |
| Date | 05:46:32, June 21, 2019 CET | From | Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 4594 |
| Message | Equally distributed between the number of parties in the Cabinet proposal. Everyone has an equal chance in fixing the country. The more people we have on all sides, the more expertise, knowledge and intellect we have, and more perspectives on various social, economic and political issues of the state. With that, we can reach a compromise on any legislation and find a middle ground that will be acceptable for the Cabinet and the people of Beluzia. It is better that everyone pools their resources and has their say in every aspect, than having a party control aspects of government just because they are the largest party and the Head of State. Being the largest and in power does not equal good governance |

| Message | Wouldn't that unfairly advantage smaller parties and undermine the voters of which a majority voted for the peoples party? |
| Date | 07:29:22, June 21, 2019 CET | From | Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 4594 |
| Message | It wouldn't advantage. I've done this with many parties in the past and none have had complaints. Also, we can determine what positions smaller parties can get. By that I mean they will not get any of the top positions, but they will get lesser positions in Cabinet which although not as powerful, are still important, like Infrastructure and Transport, Science and Technology. Also, a majority did not vote for the People's Party. 34.96% of the vote is a long way from 50%+1, so it's more a plurality than a majority |
| Date | 10:12:48, June 21, 2019 CET | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 4594 |
| Message | Worker's Party I think People's Party should have 6 ministers instead of proposed 7. I see your point, but this is not real world so there is no real power. |
| Date | 11:25:46, June 21, 2019 CET | From | Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of March 4594 |
| Message | That will be acceptable. I will vote for the Cabinet proposal |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
