Without the AFC, your PNC would still be in the opposition trench.
Mitwah, without the PNC where would the AFC be? Empty campaign events for sure. Look at those pictures from the Corentyne coast and the Essequibo Coast and ask yourself how many NON PNC folks showed up.
The AFC with empty campaign events would have embarrassed itself at the polls.
APNU would have been in the opposition. The AFC might be where the WPA, ROAR and the UF are now.
You have always failed to understand one dynamic - pre-coalition, the AFC was a party becoming more dominated by the disaffected PPP-ites. It continued to attract the disaffected PNC-ites too and the Independents. The coalition changed that momentum, and it was worth it as the PPP needed to go. The sacrifice is the AFC's momentum pre-coalition. In 2020 it would have been a genuine peer party able to command close to one-thirds of the polling, given generational and migratory patterns.
Bottom line is that the AFC sacrificed for the greater good and the PNC benefited by being part of a coalition government. Continuing to disparage the AFC will only mean a less-than-5-year government, as all it takes is a one-seat shift.
