Formation of a coalition Government in Vanuatu is imminent

According to a few foreign news agency, the formation of a coalition Government is imminent. Well, what is new? Given the Vanuatu's political history, it has been envisaged from the outset that a coalition Government, will ultimately be formed in due course.Indeed some political veterans who had failed considerably to bring changes for the betterment of this nation, will not have regained their seats. People of this nation had made their deliberations, and so is their verdicts, that is democracy after all. On the other hand, new elected candidates especially new bloods, would endeavour to bring change, coupled with invoking a vision of new direction, to bring this small nation forward. Positively,it is refreshing, it brings in some gleaming hope for the foreseeable future. I for one, would like to see some real facts of action, and not merely words. Enough of what people of this nation had witnessed during the precedent Governments, enough is enough!


The next question is that, which political parties will be forming a coalition Government? There is a possibility that old guards within the VP and NUP ranks, will once again form a government, If so, inevitably, their formation of Government would echo some of their failed policies of the past. We have seen, with concrete facts, the catalogue of errors made by the last Government. On balance, the only good thing which prevailed from the last Government was stabi
maintenance of stability. Having said that, there was no plausible excuse of having a fallible Government, though, especially with its senior Ministers, whom their political careers were marred by corruption! For example, Korman to name a few. Sadly, for the people of this nation, some of the same old guards, have been duly voted by their supporters. Whether we like it or not, once again, they will be returning to Parliament! This is democracy after all.
