APNU needs a passionate leader with more political experience

Then in a political environment where the PPP continues to publicly broadside the majority opposition on a daily basis, up comes Mr. Granger offering the PPP bullies a “social contract” to promote national unity.  This is not only an unreasonable, unsound and irrational political strategy but also the action of a political novice. We are telling Mr. Granger that he is wasting his precious time calling for a national front government because it will not happen in this century or in the next. The PPP will never be interested in sharing power with the combined opposition. Further, no experience political leader will say that he is not ready for elections or the people of Berbice are on their own to make sure that the PPP lower the tolls on the Bridge. Is this the strategy of a political rookie showing all his cards to his opponent rather than keeping them close to his chest? This suggests that the defeat of the PNC/APNU at the polls is inevitable.

Good letter.  If indeed Granger told the people of Berbice that they are on their own with the bridge then he is a jackass!

 

This isnt about more peaceful marches, as no march involving the PNC will ever be peaceful.  The police will attempt to brutally break them up and people's lives will be put at risk.

 

 

In any case I am not sure when the PPP has ever bothered with peaceful demonstrations, EVEN BY THEIR OWN supporters. Look at Essequibo.  After boasting about record rice harvests, the PPP now blames rice farmers for growing too much rice, and admits that the Venezuela rice market is shaky.

 

What Granger needs to do is go on "Meet the People" tours to listen and learn.

 

Granger is a nice middle class gentleman from G/town, who is quite comfortable where he is, and lacks fire in the belly.  Well it is up to the PNC to deal with him.

 

Having said that Granger probably reasons that ethnic voting puts a cap on the votes that he can get.  The increasingly Indian face of the AFC limits its appeal to the grass roots blacks, who will remain PNC, so Granger thinks.  But then they can also simply refuse to vote, as increasing numbers are inclined to do.

 

Its actually the AFC which should be aggressive in breaking into PPP strongholds.  Not by ambulance chasing as they are wont to.  But by actually developing solutions, in conjunction with the people, and then advocating on their behalf.  Nothing prevents the AFC and reprsentative sof the rice farmers from attempting to develop new markets for Guyanese rice in the DR, as an example.  That is assuming that Guyanese rice is cheaper than that from the US.

Good point and well reasoned Carib NY.
