Sir: No need to wait for the next election: there
will probably be no substantial majority anyway. The matter is so urgent that party leaders should get together at once — not even wait another month! To stop the two big parties bickering over the leadership, let them agree on a Liberal as Prime Minister, with one Conservative and one Socialist as joint deputy PM. The Whigs threw up many a good leader in the past. And a capable Liberal heading the sort of triumvirate suggested above (given a national Cabinet as steering-committee) would have a vital chance to rally the country and save us from our present quandary. When the election does eventually come, I intend to vote Liberal for a Change. Moot such action as somewhat aleatory, and my riposte is, "Aren't the two big parties at the moment already gambling with the nation's future?" Frederich G.
