| Message | "This appears fairer than previous proposals. I personally remain cautious and disgusted regarding the welcoming of the Marxists to this government. Putting Marxists in charge of food means we have created a Minister of Starvation." -- Otto Keymon |
| Date | 19:10:22, October 19, 2006 CET | From | Lotus Coalition of the Endless Knot | To | Debating the National Unity Cabinet Of Active Parties (October 2300) |
| Message | "The aim of this proposal was to overcome party political disputes and form a government actually able to run the nation. As such the Marxists were included as they hold an important role in the Assembly not on ideological grounds. Let us not forget that our current cabinet has Ministers that quit the political process years ago. We have no Internal Affairs Minister and no Justice Minister, we desperately need some. However the Figs appear to be voting against this proposal and as such it looks as though it will fail. We will look into proposing another cabinet." -- Lady Kosawak Zettel |
