Message | "It is both surprising and disheartening to see that the liberals not only chose to co-operate with but to also include the perpetual turncoats that is B-SCU in the government. Have they forgetten what happened last time they tried to do this? Anyone who wants a government that can provide stability for the nation should vote no to this cabinet. So for, the inclusion of the B-SCU in any government deal has been a recipe for parliamentary disaster. We had higher hope for the liberal. What a shame." - Brian Baker |

Message | Mr. Baker, We believe in democracy, and it's the voters who decide which party should be in a cabinet. The Bloc gained a record number of seats in the last elections, that's why this party is included in the coalition. Also, we do not want to cooperate with your party, because the LSP supports authoritarian policies as well as racial segregation. Simon Sambrook. |

Message | We promise to not topple this Government as we will support all legislation sans the last 2, as per our agreement with the Liberals. |

Message | If the gentleman from the liberal party cared to take a look, he would find that the democrats hasn't voted in favour of any segregationist policies. In fact, he will find that we did vote in favour of Solidaritys bill to de-segregate the duchys. So it's nothing more than a blatant lie to call the democrats segregationist. And to the gentleman from B-SCU. How grand of you to promise not to topple another government. I'm sure you'll keep your promise this time around. Brian Baker |

Message | Mr. Baker, I don't know which democrats you are talking about, but the sure thing is that your party voted in favour of segregationist policies. Simon Sambrook, MP. |

Message | The democratic faction voted against the regregationist "conservative bill" (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=647933) and in favour of "Equality Act for the Duchy Diets" (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=647974). Don't play dumb with me Simon, it doen't suit you. Brian Baker |

Message | Also, if the liberals somehow missed it. Their partners in B-SCU did in fact vote in favour of the conservative bill. That bill included propositions such as "Interracial sex is completely illegal.", "All educational institutions must be segregated.", "All public amenities are segregated." and "The government discriminates against minorities in its hiring.". So, you are in fact actively co-operating with a segregationist party. Not only that, you propose that the very minister of internal affairs in your liberal "anti-segregationist" cabinet would come from that very same segregationist party. Brian Baker |
