STABILITY IN GOVERNMENT. “ At this stage of party development,” points out the “ Glasgow Herald,” “there is no valid ground for the suggestion that Britain has so far advanced towards group system that a measure of electoral reform is demanded which will give special representation to minorities. On t 1 contrary, the weight of evidence seems to us to favour the view ? that the drift events is towards a return to the traditional position of two main parties with nothing beyond them exoo"' tendency to argue that from a national standpoint it was even more important that there should be a stable Government in power than that there should be in Parliament a mathematically accurate reflection of minority opinion. Even although the MacDonlad Government has not a clear majority the Parliamentary position is sufficiently, defined to render unlikely a period of confusion.”
