		According to this compromise, ethnic Fijians and Indo-Fijians would each be allocated 22 seats, with 12 representing (comprising voters registered as members of a particular ethnic group) and a further 10 representing (distributed by ethnicity but elected by universal suffrage) in the 52 member House of Representatives.

		Most Indo-Fijians rejected this proposal, believing that it would prevent them from obtaining a legislative majority, even though they numbered more than half of the population, and demanded that all Parliamentary seats should be elected by universal suffrage from a common voters' roll.
		In April, 1970, Mara and Sidiq Koya, leader of the mainly Indo-Fijian National Federation Party, met in London and negotiated a compromise.
		Fijians and Indo-Fijians would be represented equally in the House of Representatives, with 22 seats each; a further 8 seats would be set aside for Europeans and other minorities.

	Fiji election of 1977 (March)
		This was the view articulated by Jai Ram Reddy, the leader of one of the dueling factions of the NFP, in a radio broadcast during the crisis.
		Some have charged that Reddy colluded in the Governor-General's actions in keeping his own party out of power, so that he could depose Sidiq Koya, the longtime leader of the party.
		Many commentators believe that a better way forward might have been to set up a "government of national unity," representing both the Alliance and the NFP, but this was unacceptable to Ratu Mara.
