THE NATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY
TO THE EDITOR Sir, —Now that the session is drawing near, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the affiliation between Reform and United as the National Political Federation is getting us nowhere. If the recent election meant anything, it was an r.nti-Forbes-Coates vote not so much as a direct pro-Labour vote. If one could read the electorates’ mind it was an expression of disgust at the variegated banner of the National Political Federation and an indication against the leadership. Already the late Premier is gathering some notice as Leader of the Opposition, and I feel sure that under his leadership the National Political Federation will get nowhere. It is a thousand pities that Reformers still continue an association that is so undistinguished. If they could quite decently break away from this unholy alliance with the United Liberals and start cle novo as a reformed Reform Party I feel sure that all genuine antiLabour supporters, of whatever colour, would gather round them.—l am, etc., Christchurch. March 6. Brutus.
