If such matters are to be used as an excuse for meetings with an illegitimate Prime Minister, in place through official connivance at the highest level, then it would be wise to explain the matters in question publicly and in detail. Vague deflections of queries convince no one and, worse, give rise to what may well be unfounded speculation.

Worse still such an explanation may give the impression of political naivety. Why would anyone, let alone a political leader, assume that the PN “government” gives any consideration to the public interest  Or any interest apart from their own private desires to maximise the profits from its illegal occupation of government.

The “Prime Minister” has yet to display any sign of political or public leadership; whether because he is too ill to be able to do so or because he cannot tear himself away from the golf course. To give public recognition of any kind to his illegitimate status is a political error and may well create suspicion, however ill-founded.
