| Date | 19:24:30, July 15, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | The AAP believes there have been voting irregularities that must be addressed, and that troubleshooting, followed by recall elections, might be needed before we formalise a new cabinet. Consequently - we urge all parties to vote AGAINST this bill - lest a new cabinet gets elected through illicit means. (OOC: I believe the Conservative Party and the ISM (Reborn) might actually be the same player - caught in a new party/reactivated party trap.) |
| Date | 23:38:12, July 15, 2006 CET | From | Likaton Fascist Front | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | (OOC: We agree this issue should be investigated prior to cabinet formation, however the 'Hawk' faction has the numbers, even without the CP. Would the ISM/CP be able to advise?) IC: Whilst we could be tempted to beleive that the AAP is merely trying to delay the legitimate government of the day forming cabinet, we would not ever want to have be seen taking our rightfull places by anything other than legitimate means. We call for other parties opinions on this matter. |

| Message | We thank the LFF for their thoughts on the matter. Obviously, we would also be less than satisifed by 'questionable' election results... rather than have this matter drag on and on through the courts and leave us with a contested result, we believe it is best if we try to get this matter resolved as soon as possible. We await the ISM and/or CP response on the matter. |
| Date | 14:42:16, July 16, 2006 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | The RSAHS believe that this shameful attempt to delay the transfer of power by the AAP(R) is typical of their tactics. In light of the threat of a protracted court battle that would undoubtedly damage the electoral process in terms of both credibility, and also in getting the peoples chosen representatives into the correct position to serve them, we support immediate elections, as soon as the issue of the ISM/CP is resolved. |
| Date | 19:03:48, July 16, 2006 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | Or perhaps this is an AAP(R) ruse to divert attention from the real issue. Free Amundsen Whiteflag. Cease appeasement of Valruzian Aggression! |
| Date | 19:35:31, July 16, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | We wonder what the Holy Star faction means by this? As far as we are aware, Holy Star representatives took possession of Amundsen Whiteflag, and agreed to hold him until the trial date.... and this occured a number of days ago. |
| Date | 19:41:45, July 16, 2006 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | Lies. We in the RSAHS did no such thing. we deny all accusations. The AAP(R) is clearly trying to create disharmony in the ranks of the so-called Hawk alliance. Mr. Whiteflag is, to the best of our knowledge being held illegally by the representatives of Traitor Atreides. |
| Date | 19:55:44, July 16, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Iron Fist Cabinet Proposal of October 2254 |
| Message | In other words, the Holy Star party were 'not involved'... and Whiteflag is now missing, with us as the last hands SEEN holding him? Clever... and unfortunate for us... We shall have to devote resources to finding Mr Whiteflag, and ensuring his safety... at any cost. No threat to the HSP implied. |
