Speaks Out. og! During. ‘the last election campaign we listened with interest to a speech of Soc- jal.Credit Leader Robert .Thompson and were impressed with his TV style. We talked to many others who regarded him as a capable speaker. Most of them ex- pressed the opinion that if he were the leader of one of the older parties he would make a powerful impression on the electors. / We picked up Hansard yesterday and -read’a speech ,in. the Commons by Mr. Thompson. We quote it below as he- probes as ee one a have some worth, but certainly a majority government is ‘no guarantee of an effec- tive stable: government. It was not during the years 1958 to’ 1962. Leaving‘out the war years, it was not from 1945 to 1957. A minority government. can be a strong government. It can be effective and it can be stable if the members’ who make up’ parliament: will put. their. re- sponsibilities ahead of the politics which they are too. often: prone to’ play and if the man’ who is entrusted with the lead- ership of | the; government will give the ing , the most ib i of . the which: a minority house re- situation in.

Mr. Thompson: If the right hon. gentleman does not have more apprecia- tion. and understanding of what took place in the house last: February 5 then I can understand why we went into an election. It was said over and. over again Over and over again the former prime minister told the Canadi people that the reason the last minority house. fell was the blockage of the op- position. An Hon.
