Perhaps the way to handle this is to allow two of each of your new minister positions who are elected by the people and each would have the power of veto. Assuming there is a reasonably close to 50/50, or even anywhere between 34/66 ratio of folks for each category (liberty, finance, crap-talking).
Take finance for instance. Conservatives want one guy because he'll chop out every bleeding heart's big save the children project and the liberals will want to cut every bomb and machine gun. Since we are well within the 50/50 to 34/66 range, one of each would be elected each cycle. So long as we keep one of the ministers of STFU making sure they can't hammer out a deal we'd be in good shape.
