Many years ago these parties agreed to rotate the mayorship of Georgetown. The PNC had their candidate served first and when it was time for the PPP's candidate to serve they reneged on their promise. Here is an example of one side (PPP) trusting the PNC and that trust was violated. What kind of message did that send to the people of Guyana, or more specifically to the Indo-Guyanese supporters of the PPP? Does it not say to us that we cannot trust the PNC to work together to advance GT or Guyana?
All this writing about both parties are the same is BS. I see the PNC as an untrustworthy ally in any arrangement. Look at their history with working with or parties like the UF and the AFC. Are we still blind to see that they have dominated the coalition government and gave the AFC -0- say in decision-making?
This begs the question...how can the PPP promote stability and ensure democracy if it is governing a nation-state with a large percentage seeing themselves as being excluded from power?
you really think the PPP and its leaders are saviors of Guyana...and more importantly, you think you can sell this bag of beans to Afros?
You are asking for the PPP to create a utopia instead of asking the PNC to keep their promise and respect the constitution Guyana. The PPP lost power through the ballot because a percentage of their supporters crossed party and voted for the coalition. The PPP did not rig to stay in power. The respected the will of the People and the PNC should do the same. We cannot have one side playing by the rules and the other side violating the same rules and then declaring both of them equal evils. This is the rubbish being pedalled on GNI by charlatans who masked themselves as intellectuals with smart solutions. Most of these people are nothing more than pursuers of soup.
I agree that when we agree to play by the rules we must also accept the results of the game.
However, the problem is that the rules were skewed to benefit the majority party...the only reason the PPP won elections in a divided society, even after the split...so If the PPP was such a credibly great party why did they have to loose, as you said, because a percentage of their supporters did not vote for them?. In other words, why did they not win with a large multiracial support? The small percentage they lost were primarily Indians.
So again, here is the problem: since neither party can govern Guyana to the satisfaction to the majority of most Guyanese...how do Guyanese get to that point of nirvana?
You are trying to confuse me. Not going to work.
Please elaborate on how the rules are skewed to benefit the majority party (PPP).
You are easily confusing yourself, dont blame it on me.
Check the elections since the 1960s...they were racial censuses....
If you cant comprehend this, I cant help you.
