A majority of blacks support the Democrat party because they see the democrats representing their best interest. Not different than Guyana where Afros feel the same about PNC. Same as Indos and the PPP.
Power sharing can lead to bloodbath since one party will certainly cry fowl and the division will begin.
The Jagan/Burnham party was split after Burnham decided to part ways and we saw violent Riots in the 60’s.
Power sharing is a pipe dream. It would be best to allow democracy to evolve and eventually a credible third party will emerge and hold the balance of power. I felt that Shuman was that person but he failed. It might be premature to write him off in the long run.
AFC had the best idea but Moses and Ramjattan shattered that idea due to personal greed. One can further argue that they created a wider divide due to their political greed and arrogance.
Guyana keeps hopping along until a credible third party emerges
The riots of the 60 's different piece of cake ,all the secret files that are out ,shows the true story.
Regarding the AFC , don't know where you are gathering information ,they are still a strong party and can dissociate from coalition politics ,currently they think is the best model. Majority of the people mindset are changing in Guyana ,i have seen a lots of young East Indians in the coalition of parties.
