The Cartoon Of The Day
EDITORIAL

Alliances needed on key issues There are certain problems that the major political parties, or indeed the smaller ones, will be able to resolve only together. If political parties - at least the major ones - fail to show a spirit of cooperation and a common sense of responsibility (as well as a common grasp of political cost) then chronic maladies such as the problem with the pension system will never be remedied.

COMMENTARY

Three types of voters Broadly speaking, there are three types of voter - at least that is what I understand from what I hear around me. The first is the traditional, and sometimes fanatical, party supporter. This person will say things like «My father was a royalist» or «We have always belonged to the progressive party.» They are quite prepared to board a bus or airplane to go and hear the party leader speak. Their vote is more or less guaranteed.
