Setting up a party would be a good thing do.

Martin Jackson

 P.S  Solomon Islands is well worth watching, they are undertaking an economic change (unlike any other in the world at present) which the Australian Government doesn't like.

Below is from John Seale on the Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare

Yes he does have good support from the people and particularly in the Provinces where there are 83% of the population.  Unfortunately PIG "Privileged  Industry Groups" has all the usual bases covered, e.g. the radio broadcasting network, the main newspaper, the judiciary, the police, the central bank, the treasury and finance department and some key NGOs "National Government Organisations".  Otherwise Sogavare’s guys control the streets and have high respect in the church networks, which in SI are strongly Christian. 

He is also now drawing on our ideas and has some good personal staff to support him.  Also the SoCred party is going from strength to strength.  SoCred has gone from a parliamentary representation last May of 4 including Manasseh, to just under an absolute majority (without counting the 2 in jail).

 Exciting times eh!
