Talk:David Adeang

message: The last section looks as if it's been written with a pro-Adeang POV. Namely:
*"the Administration's ministers continued to exercise executive powers without the support of Parliament". Oh, really? What factual basis is there for this assertion? From what I gather, the Stephen administration still has a parliamentary majority, and therefore enjoys the support of Parliament. What it lacks is the support of the Opposition (which is hardly surprising), and of the Speaker, who is aligned with the Opposition.
*"sometimes an indicator of whether a Parliamentary system has survived a coup d'état". That's blatantly POV. A personal comment stemming from an unsupported and probably erroneous assertion.
*"Adeang was thus increasingly emerging as a somewhat traditional figure identified with asserting the prerogatives of a sovereign parliament worthy of the name, along the Westminster model, in the face of attempts to circumvent Parliament." Very heavily POV. This seems simply to be a personal comment by a user who supports Adeang. As preiously mentioned, the Stephen administration has a parliamentary majority, and the Supreme Court has ruled that Adeang cannot circumvent the Constitution! User's personal, derogatory and unsupported interpretation of Stephen's motivations.
*"For its part, the government of Marcus Stephen strongly welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling: whether or not for ideological and principled reasons also, it was seen as ensuring the immediate survival of the Administration." Obvious and blatant POV.
I'm contacting the user who wrote this, so that the POV problem can be fixed. I'll give it a few days before fixing it myself if it's not done. Aridd (talk) 08:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, but yes, I know what Adeang has said. As for the government's majority, my understanding is that Stephen has the support of 9 MPs out of 18, thus resulting in a deadlocked parliament (and giving Adeang grounds to call for fresh elections, indeed). My concern is with the phrasing of this article, and with the inclusion of personal comments and interpretations, which seem to hint very strongly at a pro-Adeang POV.
