What happens in Guyana has nothing to do with the rest of CARICOM and indeed others are at a loss to even begin to understand Guyana. Starting with the fact that MPs aren't selected by voters but by party bosses.
And that a constitution was installed by a dictator 40 years ago and yet no one seems interested in changing it.
What the majority vote is will be based on what the constitution said that it is and now the CCJ is scratching its head trying to understand this piece of mess called the Guyana constitution.
They will remember 2 decades ago when the ENTIRE CARICOM had to sit the PPP and the PNC down because the PPP screamed "we gat mandate" so (despite Guyana's notorious tribalism). This is a mere continuation of Guyana's sickness, which is why they despise the Guyanese who attempt to sneak into their countries to live illegally.
Guyana has been ill in the eyes of the rest of CARICOM for the past 40 years and they see themselves as radically different. To them Guyana is a few steps above Haiti. And despite its resource base Guyana remains backward when compared to the rest of CARICOM. Just look at our maternity and infant mortality death rates as an example. Consider that Guyana is now the ONLY country in the English speaking Caribbean where child labor is a huge problem. And our CXC performance is in the pits when 50 years ago Guyana was extolled for having the best educational system in the English speaking Caribbean.
Guyana is a pariah as far as the rest of CARICOM is concerned. And it doesn't even merit the condescension directed towards Haiti with its tragic history. It doesn't because it entered independence behind only T&T and Jamaica, AHEAD of Barbados!
