Message | Seems fair - I'm somewhat dissapointed that parties smaller than HSP have got more senior cabinet positions - but I'll support. |

Message | We hope that AMTPoH will vote yes to this proposal as it will give us a joint cabinet with all parties represented and with a broad socialist background. We understand that AMTPoH has high goals also regarding cabinet positions and we therefore would initiate talks. |

Message | So, why would we support a cabinet that provides us only 1 position even though we have the support of over 1/3rd of the population? |
