I would do better-P.M.
PA Wellington “He would not do as well as I would ’ next year,” the Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) said when asked in a television interview last evening how he thought the National Party would fare in the General Election if led by Mr Taiboys. Of the rebels in’ his caucus — the "Colonels” — Mr Muldoon said they were now “coming round.” “These boys are getting the message all right,” he said, i Asked whether, if he lost the party leadership, he would serve in a Cabi-
net headed by Mr Taiboys, Mr Muldoon "said that the question was “too hypothetical.” “It would depend on a number of things," he said. He said that his wife and family had told him to “give it all away and get out,” and that his daughter had said, “We want a father, not a politician.” But Mr Muldoon said that he did not give up easily. He said he would remain in Parliament and already was the . candidate for Tamaki, his present seat. ■■ ;
