THE FUSION QUESTION.
As. .matters stand, there does not seem to be more than a very slender prospect that any one of the three political parties in the Dominion—we exclude from present consideration the Country Party with its one representative in the Lower House—will secure a clear majority in the next Parliament. In this event, however, the community may have to submit to a repetition for three more years of the spectacle of a Government holding office without wielding real power and’ of a minority party exerting its will upon the Government while escaping all responsibility for the decisions it enforces. It is a spectacle which can he prevented by the adoption on the part of the Reform and United parties of a broad-minded determination, to sink minor differences in the interests not of party but of the country as a whole!—“Otago Daily Times.”
