There has to be more to this story. He had to have co ordinated it with the PPP. They would not launch a no confidence vote campaign without a sense that there is a weak link in the APNU ranks. Everyone was genuinely surprised at his action. Lots of soup spigots got turned off!
Anyway, I understand his stated reasons and while I would have sought to fight for change where I was, he possibly knows better about who would have listened. The PPP and the APNU will now harden their ranks. Poor Ramson might not even make it on the PPP list because he would be seen to have a grievance ( as he should). Every Indian and black person on the APNU and PPP lists respectively will undergo serious double vetting. Suspicion to the level of paranoia will be the outlook going forward.
If only this was done by a black person, the suspicion it was a racial bushwhacking would not be so heavy in the aether. We are such an ethnically divided country that everything is framed in terms of ethnicity. It is why we need constitution reform.
