This was me guys. I think I might try and form my own party or join someone else if this coalition goes through. Purely political, you've all been great.

If we do join, I really do hope you stay with us, but I can totally understand your reasons for thinking about leaving. Though if you decide to stay, there's quite probably a place in government for you, which can ensure people like you are still represented.

Admin, New Democrat member for Lüborg (504) and ambassador to the Red-Greens in the Aurentine Senate. Minister of Business Safety of Aurentina. Apparently that deserves a ministry, but I'm not complaining. I'm probably none of these things anymore. | The Aurentine Phrasebook, my magnum opus.

Yes. The position is ours, according to discussions, so we just have to choose someone.

I would be willing to take the Premiership if the party approves. This party has many great senators, however, in whose abilities I would feel just as confident as my own.

As for ministry positions, I think Health, Transportation, and Foreign Affairs are good places to start.

I hope you stay as well, Glasgia. It's unfortunate that the Progress Coalition died, but the new coalition is a preferable alternative than isolation or the coalition with the USLP.

It's a bit late for an apology. And besides, I'm sort of half-expecting to get Transport anyway.
