Editor Emeritus of the NATION Harold Hoyte said all was “not lost” for the Stuart administration even though Stuart himself had seen his popularity as a leader and that of his party plummet in the poll.
“Mid-term polls always represent the lowest point for any governing party and the only prime minister ever to foist a mid-term election on his party was Sir Lloyd Sandiford in 1994,” he pointed out. (TY)
