Politically...and Socially
The mentality of the current political establishment, PNC/AFC and PPP does not bode well for Guyana's future. It starts with the winner take all political system which oozes down to the general population, making one major segment of the population feel that they don't have a voice in the way the country is governed.
The Red House bruhaha recently is a stark example of the disfunction of Govt. While the Govt does have a valid point, the way this was done showed a lack of respect and regard for a past leader as well as a segment of the population. It was a heavy handed approach, and showed a lack of leadership from Granger. It seemed more of a tit for tat approach to a simple issue which could have been handled in a more professional manner. What happened to sitting down and hashing things out? It would have been a great example to the people if both parties could have cooperated in good faith. On top of this, the Hoyte museum was opened right afterwards. The optics just don't look good!! You have one past leader tossed out, while another past leader is being celebrated!
This continued approach of trying to score points against each other only serves to alienate a major segment of the population. The Govt & opposition need to think about all Guyanese before they undertake certain actions, understand the effects of those actions. They need to move away from the past way of thinking, show real leadership, lead by example that all Guyanese can follow. There will always be disagreements, let those disagreements be about what's best for all Guyanese, not be about trying to get one side to dislike the other side.
