bonsie said: Does this mean that Holland will have much needed control of St Maarten government Based on what I have learned about the form of government, the answer to this is "no", although the conditions it set for making the money available will be met. One of those conditions was for there to be accountability for and control over the money independent of the government. Look for the Dutch to tweak that requirement, depending on their view of the new government.

Sarah said that she would fight elections being held. Will the public demand that Marlin and his government just resign? What will happen to the Dutch aid if elections are actually called??? I'm afraid this BS by Marlin will still prevent the Dutch from sending aid.

That's what I was thinking. I think people will not need much encouragement to take to the streets, in a bad way.

Carol_Hill said: What is a national government? What does that mean? Is still sounds like he is going to call elections. Idea of a National Government is that all parties join together in a government - all parties reach consensus (or as close to consensus as possible) as to PM and other ministers. Hard to see how that can happen with this bunch.
