Dear Reader

The question of the day was "Who will be the ministers?".

The celebratory nature of the UD gathering at the Holland House Beach Hotel last night probably was mainly due to the excitement in the air regarding this question indeed: Who is going to be minister?

The next question was how long this coalition will last.

The third question was: Will Smith become minister?

We will leave these questions hanging around for the weekend.

Have a great weekend!
