The Premier, who had already indicated plans to seek another term, says that's the plan. And Williams quips, he's in politics for the long haul.
That courtesy of the radio station known derisively as voice of the cabinet minister who even supplied the audio version:
“Nothing has changed for me… so I am looking at possibly another four terms.”
Translation: apply the rule of opposites. Now there’s a concept people should be very familiar with.
And if by some chance he did stay at it for another four terms – 16 years – then Danny Williams would be both the oldest person sworn in as Premier since 1949 and the oldest person to leave the office.
Williams turns 61 this year and would be pretty close to 80 if he actually won four more general elections.
