Busy Bee

Elected government continues on until the election is decided. The territory isn't rudderless during the interregnum, it's just not doing new legislative business.

Finally

April 12th

Sowande again..

Its going be Sowande again in a unity govt. ViP with 5 Seats the most and has a rightful claim for Premier Ship.. My one wish is that Lorna or Ronnine become deputy..If these Politician don't learn by now and go back in doing the same bull nonsense, then we gave Britain the green light..They can't be that greedy or stupid.

Well Well

I surely wouldn`t be surprised if the Premier calls Elections for April 1st. He is so predictable in mop.
