The battle is harder for O’Neill

WE all are aware that the season for politics is approaching.
Intending candidates and sitting members plus the political parties will very soon go head-to-head in the race.
Our OLIPAC system allows for the party with the largest number to form the government.
It still remains a guessing game who will be our next prime minister after the 2012 election in June.
 In recent days the coalition partners that make up the O’Neill-Namah government had been camping out, setting up offices and declaring war on the Somare regime.
Yet, we need to remind ourselves that in the political upheaval a few weeks ago all the partners in the O’Neill-Namah government showed strength of solidity and promised the country that they would not endorse a candidate against a sitting member in their camp.
With recent events by the Don Polye group to form a new political party and claiming the MPs who deserted the former National Alliance to be in their camp showed that he will be pushing for the top post. Belden Namah and PNG Party are set to open 20 provincial centres.
