The General Election
Sir, — The Deputy Prime Minister (Mr Tizard) is re-j ported as saying, “candi-f dates standing independently; for Parliament on a causel platform could lessen the j chances of their cause being; successful.” If the indepen-i dent’s cause is the! unification of the nation in-; stead of its division, even, the slim chance of an inde-i pendent’s cause is greater: than when placed with' either of the two major parties. After three decades of: unopposed government by the National-Labour complex this country is divided on many issues, it is an econ-, omic mess, a political vacuum, and strategically defenceless. “You’ll waste your vote” is heard; but, considering our present vul-. nerability on all fronts, what could be a bigger waste of votes than those given to the National-Labour complex; in the past? — Yours, etc., ; ADRIAN HAYTER. Takaka. October 1, 1975.
