THE POLITICAL SITUATION
Sir,— Without dissolution, or fusion of parties, the way appears to be clear for the United Government to carry on, with the friendly co-operation of the Labour Party. Without violation of
party pledges, and without formal commitments by either side, the United and Labour Parties are in a position to work together for the common good; leaving the Reform Party to fulfil the role of the official Opposition, whereas, by their common undertakings to vote against a Reform Government on a no-confidence motion, both the United and Labour Parties are precluded from either open or covert cooperation with the Reform Party, as such. If Reform members wish to cooperate with the United Government, that is their own affair, and their constituencies may be agreeable to this. If such a working arrangement as this is not acceptable, a return to the country is possible. And a return to the country, would mean the loss of numbers of seats now held by Reform and Labour members, and a return of the United Party with a working majority, in the humble opinion of J. G. HUGHES.
