AbstractThis article examines the behaviour of legislators in the period before 1985, during the years 1985 to 1991 when elected members were in a minority, and in the most recent period following the 1991 elections. The rules and procedures used by the colonial administration to control the legislature in the past, and the extent to which they still remain effective in limiting its power, are discussed.
