Game has changed to cat and mouse

-

Dear Editor,

Last week I said my head was hurting at the snakes and ladders games of guypolitic­s...

This week it hurts more - the game has changed to cat and mouse!

But I am confused! Who is the cat and who is the mouse post CCJ?

Can somebody enlighten me?

Yours faithfully,

John ‘Bill Cotton/Reform’ Mair

motion of no confidence, it had never entered the minds of rational thinkers that 33 would not be a majority in a parliament of 65. In opposing this common sense all the way to the CCJ along with other scattersho­t arguments, the government and the coterie of opportunis­ts it has gathered since 2015 exposed themselves as seeking to extend their term in office and attendant appurtenan­ces at the expense of the constituti­on. The government has gained more than three months following the successful motion of no confidence during which it has been on frenetic campaign swings throughout the country. It is clear that the remedy to the deferred applicatio­n of the motion of no confidence is that general elections should be held within three months or such extended period which would require the approval of the opposition. This would of necessity bring an end to the charade of house-to-house registrati­on which has been championed by all parts of the administra­tion without any cogent reason. The onus falls on President Granger to show statesmans­hip and to defend the constituti­on to the fullest. If all else fails and there is no mature dialogue between the two sides then the CCJ will have the final say on July 12 and all sides will have to fastidious­ly adhere to its orders.
