| Message | We feel that this cabinet incorporates every party proportionally. It may be the best option for the formation of a new cabinet. Both the RSM and CD will surely propose a cabinet in which the other is left out and it will fail to be accepted be the Assembly. This way everyone gets what they deserve and we can get on with the legislation for this term. Makaveilli tha Don, Duchy's People's Party Leader |

| Message | We support this, and we implore the CDs to concede a bit. The RSM are willing to cooperate the them in government, and we ask if they would return the favour? |

| Message | I will have to vote no on this cabinet. IT's a worthy attempt,. but the truth of the matter is this: 1. I doubt we can get all these parties to agree on a select legislature. More importantly the head of the government MUST be the KRP. It is a hederitary position. |

| Message | We implore the JAS to support this cabinet if they can see no reason to oppose themselves. with our own votes , the RSM and the JAS we could just about guarantee that this cabinet will pass |

| Message | Nope, CDs have voted against. It's doomed already. |
| Date | 19:14:35, April 24, 2006 CET | From | Duchy's People's Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2217 |
| Message | it isn't doomed, if everyone else votes for it. They should vote in support because its probably the best chance that some of them have of getting into the cabinet |

| Message | "We cannot support a cabinet in which our party does not control the position of Director General, nor one that does not accord us a portion of the cabinet relative to our strength." -- Rufio Carmichael, acting leader of the Christian Democrats |
