National interest requires a national government. Now dream on

NEW and unprecedented high watermarks are being recorded on a weekly basis.

These include record unemployment and emigration; highest Government bond yields on international markets; steepest ever decline in mortgage credit availability; dire business attrition and failure rates and deplorable foreign media reviews of our country.

Could this proposed panacea be the simplistic musings of those who do not understand party politics and the motivation of politicians? Let’s think the unthinkable.
