Dear Reader

We could have pose as a poll question for today's issue if whether jumping ship now in order to form another Super 8 would be condoned, especially with the promise of a stable government for the next 4 years would be the result.

All this shipjumper would have to do is basically appointment his own minister of Justice and the Minister Plenipotentiary and the present interim cabinet can become permanent and continue doing the work they started.

But what a question that would be for the person to rack their brains and conscience about. In politics anything is possible and all kinds of justifications have been used in the past. So yes, we would not be surprised again if another act of shipjumping occurred. Time will tell.

In the meantime, do have a great week!
