		While the two parties had time in Parliament to plan for the subsidy programme, the moment they failed to reach a compromise was the genesis of what has today come to be known the fertiliser subsidy crisis.
		While the two continue to trade barbs on the matter in the apparent hope of solving the subsidy programme problems, nothing is working for the poor farmer on the ground who wants to access the fertiliser and apply to his crop as time is running out.
		As one opposition figure has suggested, it would be better if the two parties came together and sorted out their differences otherwise the present accusations and counteraccusations are not helping the poor farmer whose only desire is to access the fertiliser and realise their goals of being food self sufficient.

		The results of the referendum suggested that it was an alliance of the democratic forces in the northern and southern regions of the country that led the multi-party advocates to victory.
		Given that no party in the country can, as of now, claim to be a national party in the strict sense of the word, there are a lot of possibilities for shifting alliances and instances of power brokering.
		Under such circumstances, the progressive alliance that might most plausibly be forged is that between the clergy and intellectuals on one hand and the urban lumpen proletariat, and industrial and plantation workers on the other, this alliance then campaigning on the platform of workers' rights and economic and social justice for the underclasses, including peasants.

		However, membership of the centre is only open to parties represented in the national assembly, which means Mutharika's DPP would not be allowed to join.
