the

met
in an
atmosphere
of

political expeetation,
the first

no opvortunity
for
sep-

development,
for
its
only
im-
mediate
business
was
the
unopnosed
re-
election
of

The real

in-

of the nex: few

lies
outside
Parliament,

in

parties
and
in
their
consultations,
at
which
the
country’s
immediate
volitical future will be shaped.
These

will be private and
it

not
supposed
that
the aecisions
reached
will
be
publicly
announced.
