(Eyewitness)It’s pathetic as to how the more things change, the more they remain the same. If we knew French like Rupert Roopnaraine, we’d say “plus Ça change, plus c’est la mÊme chose”. We’re talking about politics this time. But we don’t, so we won’t. But more specifically, its about politics in the PNC – APNU. The (un)musical chairs that Granger unleashed in Parliament is the same old, tired and cynical game his mentor Burnham used to play.
The bottom line, of course, is to have only “yes” men and women around the leader – little saplings over whom the “great man” can tower like a “samaan tree”. Now we can understand the needs of some insecure minds to play these games…but supporters of the PNC have to ask, is it good for their future prospects? Aren’t the saplings going to wither without any sunlight?
How can you have a viable party that has thrown out all the “young lions” ….now getting long in the tooth out in the wilderness?
