The first few lines of my earlier message was somehow stripped it
(truncation in reverse? who knows) The first paragraph should have read:
-------------
First, Many thanks to Steve and Bill for the info ("facts"?) on the impact
of the Aussie electoral system and party politics. It definitely adds to
what I have been reading (particularly stuff on the consitutional crisis
and odd events of 1975, which written in the 1970's could only guess
whether the influence that the DLP had could be replicated by other small
parties).
------------
Virtually,
