PNC astutely noted that they will always be the opposition in parliament.

The joint opposition knew to their gut that the PPP/C was a victim of their own success at the 2011 polls, they would never risk their "one-seat majority" by passing a vote of no confidence against the state.

From L – R: APNU Leader, David Granger; Leader of the AFC, Khemraj Ramjattan and President Donald Ramotar.

 Following a constant battle between A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the governing People’s Progressive Party (PPP), the main opposition says it is ready for the PPP to sit down and negotiate with the Opposition.

At the APNU’s weekly press conference on Friday, January 3, the Party’s Leader, David Granger said that the Opposition does not want to return to the National Assembly and have another ‘collision’ with the government.

“We want the People’s Progressive Party Civic administration this year 2014 to come to the negotiating table, sit down with the Opposition, sit down with the Trade Unions, sit down with the employer’s organisations and let us work out how Guyana will be developed over the next two years.

“In 2016, we will be 50 years old as an independent state. We don’t want to go on the floor of the National Assembly to have another collision with the government. We want the government to sit down and work out with us how this country is going to be governed,” the APNU leader told reporters.

Is kwame's website now official propaganda tool for the PPP?

In any event, there are multiple parties because they have differing agenda. The idea of competing plural bodies is the heart of Democracies. There cannot be non partisan politics among parties. That is an oxymoron.  The PPP is simply using these terms deflect from their autocratic rule.

BTW they insist on not informing the parliament of all of their backroom deals so who is being partisan again? The opposition would be clearly stupid to even go along just to get along. They have to show real respect for the processes of transparency and accountability.

How about them easing the mind of the opposition by removing the ministers wife from being in his auditor?  What about recinding all of those give aways of the electromagnetic spectrum and start all over again with full open deliberation as to who deserves to get them?

The PPP is a victim of their own ostentatious greed. Everyone of those suckers did not have a pot to piss in before entering office now they are living high on the hog. One does not begrudge small privileges of those in office but these excesses of state are disgustingly in your face theft. The co-opting of entire plots of lands reserved for party big wigs is reminiscent of Maoist china and pre cold war Russia.   Lets get it straight, the only thing in the way of the PPP is their crookedness.

As time passes, the Guyanese populace are becoming more cognizant of the sinister motives of the joint opposition, AFC/A.P.N.U are greeted with cold shoulders, even in the constituencies they once considered as their "strongholds".

Dude...console yourself with these fiction. The PNC has a hardened core and the PPP is not poaching from it. These people feel set upon ( for reasons real and fictive) by the PPP. That they hate the party is to put it mildly.

The PPP's base is the one under attrition. It is hard to be moral to ones self and at peace in ones private moments if one has to publicly be shamed by open theft and the only response is the brazen denials and insistence the opposition lies. The PPP supporters see the excesses of t heir party bosses and cannot deny that the are pilfering from the coffers because they see it in large and small ways.

I suggest you watch the defection rates in your own neighborhood since it is contingent on you to change it by changing your crooked ways. Continue pretending it is all fiction and the world is blind and you will soon realize it is too big an ask for your supporters to do t he same.

Speaking on defections, take a good look at this photo.

the point is in the balance of things none went to the PPP! The opposition can only control the PPP autocracy in limited ways and only when they act with one voice. If the PPP loses another 8 to 10 percent in the next elections then we will see a real balance of power emerging. I am very certain the PPP will be a crippled minority government hence forth.

In 2009 Guyana ranked 

126 on the CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 

In 2013 GUYANA RANKS 

136 on the  CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX.

Hmmmmm!

This is what the IMF said about us.

Notwithstanding the progress made, the staffs note that there have also been significant delays in implementing projects. This was in part due to capacity constraints, a domestic environment marred by political instability and an outbreak of crime and violence and weak ownership of the reform agenda. 

YUJI, where are you.

APNU/AFC cause all this problem and poor Danald was an innocent bystander.    What you say?
