Is maintaining stability a cowardly act?

THERE are letters to the editor expressing disgust over Don Polye’s decision to remain in the NA government.
In my opinion, that was the most honourable thing to do.
As Joshe Cahphen stated in his letter, Polye’s dream to be PM will stay a dream (The National, Sept 6).
Polye was the first choice candidate for the PM post had he moved to the opposition bench.
Seeing the disorder that ensued immediately after the Supreme Court ruling on the OLIPPAC, Polye was left to decide between national stability and personal fame.
His decision to remain with the NA and help maintain stability for this brief period cannot be left unopposed as a cowardly act.
While the speaker Jeffery Nape was being used as a puppet, Sam Basil mouthing insults, the prime minister and his son issuing threats and Sir Puka Temu searching for the elusive pot of gold, the highlands bloc under the leadership of Polye moved silently to restore stability with the multi-billion dollar LNG project foremost in his thought.
Now, the question that must be asked is should the writer and his people from Momase continue to support a person who publicly labelled the people of PNG longlongs and proclaimed himself as a legendary mystical god should be voted back to deny an honourable man like Polye a chance to rule come 2012?
