Vanuatu's PM set to defeat move to unseat him

(RADIO AUSTRALIA) It may take a court challange by the government to prevent Vanuatu's opposition from proceeding with the no confidence motion on Friday.Prime minister Edward Natapei is claiming a clear majority of 31 seats after Serge Vohors opposition UMP party crossed the floor to join the government's coalition.If the opposition does not concede that it no longer has the required 27 seats to proceed with the motion, the government will have no other course but to take court action to prevent the debate from taking place.But our correspondent in Port Vila Alaine Simeon says the vagaries of Melanasian politics may see the number crunching continue right down to the wire.
