‘Ready for role’
PA Wellington Social Credit was ready to play whatever role the country wanted it to, its leader (Mr Beetham) has said, emphasising that the league was ready to offer the “complete alternative." He told a campaign meeting in Wellington that Social Credit was “sick and tired" of the view' that it was limited to holding the balance of power. The electorate needed to believe the
league was setting its sights as high as the voters would like, he said. Social Credit was prepared to provide a fully effective opposition, or even an effective government, Mr Beetham said, asserting 25 per cent support in “a threecornered contest." “The whole political situation must be volatile, fluid, elastic, and open to change,” he said. “We believe.it is."
