The seeds of our current dysfunction is that we are merely playing out the roles of decay written for us in our colonial political origins. Our social and political system only functioned with a strong Governor from London. The system was never designed to support an independent State. Even our elites still have that inherent subservient attitude towards Government, just as the elites that preceded them used to bow and scrape before the Governor.
Given that Guyana has the same colonial legacy as does Trinidad and Barbados, why is it so immature?
I think you ought to blame GUYANESE for being spineless bunch of cowards. Only Guyana had a Burnham and only Guyana had a Jagdeo. The rest of the English speaking Caribbean being left in wonderment as to how Guyanese tolerate this state of affairs, and then flee to their countries like refugees. This is why Guyanese are so disrespected at regional airports.
