Sir, - I have to smile at the earnest conviction of our "expert" political commentators (your own among them), as they announce the grim tidings that the PDs' support for the Government is now "qualified". So, what's new? Surely the support of any of our high-minded public representatives for their partners in government is always "qualified" by the proviso that there is nothing potentially damaging to the party image going on behind the scenes. Anything for a good headline, I suppose! - Yours, etc., William Abrahamson,
