D_G, exactly what was your point here?

D_G is having problems locating things as usual. 

Are you aware of the specific discussion between Mara and I?

To anyone with no history of Guyana’s politics this joint statement of Dec 15, 2011, shortly after the 2011 elections where the PPP/C regained the Presidency but lost the Parliamentary majority by one vote, would be quite normal. To those knowing the tortured history of Guyana’s politics this would, understandably, be treated with skepticism.

What we can reflect on 6 months later of the new Parliament, among other things, are such things contained in this joint statement as to how to approach the Speaker-ship of the National Assembly.

1. exploratory process of a creating a sustainable framework for joint engagement in the National Assembly
2. a re-examination of the Presidents' Pension package
3. The issue of the appointment of the Speaker of the National Assembly, and other important roles and responsibilities, remain under active discussion for resolution not as isolated items, but as part of a fuller menu of agreed measures.

The AFC is claiming that it was the PPP who did not want Nagamotoo to be come speaker of the house. The PPP is claiming that it was the AFC who did not want Ralph Ramkarran to be re-elected speaker of the house.

The Coolie Crab Fight Continues!!

Perhaps! Perhaps not!

This  is  a  Press  release  by  APNU and there is  absolutely  nothing  abnormal about  the  joint opposition meeting   and  discussing  strategies "... to continue the exploratory process of a creating a sustainable framework for joint engagement in the National Assembly, and the shaping of a common agenda that takes into account the needs of the Guyanese people, their expectations, and the Parties' commitments made during the just concluded campaign..."

It  is  in  fact  a far  cry  from  a  formal  union   between  the  AFC  and  APNU which  you  have   been  advancing  here:

"...The good for the nation was a have a political organisation devoid of ties to any group to pursue a new path for Guyanese, as were the intentions advocated by the AFC.

Immediate and current actions, after the 2011 elections, show that the AFC has abandoned that approach and is integrated into the PNC.

And, that exactly is where the AFC is today..."

AND  Here:

"...It was publicly announced by the AFC in the newspapers that their key members are formally united with the PNC to formulate their strategies.
