the new system, page-3

the Libs need to work out what their role is. At the moment they are still behaving like schoolchildren who have had their bats and ball taken away from them. There is no real government - only supply and confidence is guaranteed. If there is no government, there is no opposition. The Libs need to come to terms with the fact that this is a minority situation - government and opposition are not relevant terms - the Libs have every chance of getting their policies adopted - they can initiate anything and try to win support. They have as much right to do this as anybody else in the parliament. They need to realise this and get on with the job ahead.
