I beg to differ with the views expressed above pertaining the AFC and our ethnic-based voting pattern. Anyone who attended the AFC meeting in Richmond Hill could not help but noticed the early appearance of racial division in that party. Hard core Blacks with very little or no affinity for Indians congregated around Nigel Hughes and Trotman while the Indos shyly flocked around Ramjattan. One can noticed that the Indos as well as Afros do not show any genuine friendship towards each other. The AFC cannot and will bridge the racial divide any better than the PPP. The last elections results showed the AFC got only 3000 votes of its total of 28000 from region #6. How do we know how much of those 3000 are AFro-Guyanese from the Courantyne. The AFC won its seats based on ethnic voting. IT cannot claim title to being broadbased. Leave that for another day.
Agreed. As I said previously, there will be infighting down the road.
Maybe. Maybe not. But if and when it does, you can always say 'I told you so' and prove that Ramjattan & Trotman are dunces for not learning an elementary lesson from their predecessors
