STP, I agree on the forming of a coalition, and it's interesting to read some of the info being put out by people within PNG. One from yesterday states that there is supposedly discussion amongst some parties to bring Polye in as PM and that he will be backed by Somare's party and many of the independents. Polye formed the THE party for the election and they currently shown as leading in 11 seats. This group is primarily from the Highlands and would have no reason to not back the IOC project, especially if JKM are the winning bidders. If O'Neill does not get the PM seat, this coalition could be fine as far as IOC is involved. In the reading I did not see mention of Duma's name, but there is a lot of specuation going on as well as articles being written by people trying to sway the coalition process.
