The pro-PPP/C seems almost gleeful about it and have unveiled their narrative of "Vote Against the PNC"
why not. they were vindicated by AFC=PNC. The AFC dare not go after the PNC voting bloc, so where does that leave them as they lose much of the Region 5 and 6 vote as it races back to Mummy PPP.
I can't believe the AFC did this. They might as well have dissolved the AFC and applied for PNC cards. This was in substance no different.
Most Indians do not vote PPP out of love of the PPP but out of paranoia (mostly well founded) about the PNC.
I don't see how anyone no matter how suave of a snakeoil salesman can sell this PNC merger to enough Indians. The AFC 2011 was an anti-PPP vote. Not a pro-AFC vote and certainly not a pro-PNC amenable vote.
I am astonished at how Nagamootoo and Ramjattan could believe the Indians would just vote PNC because some former PPP/Coolies are now members. That formula for the PNC has never once garnered them any Indian support.
P.S....have all the AFC supporters/activists become so enamored of their own propaganda that even they are starting to believe it? They sound like total mad people now. Arranging reality to suit their hopes and dreams for May 11th. Some even wanna go debate Constitutional Reform and social contract theory in Black Bush.
The APNU is going into this deal a stronger forced than the AFC, that could die like the UF.
Guyana is not a place of trust, planned strategy could frustrate AFC MPs.
Many of the old players in the PNC are still with APNU.
No matter how corrupt the PPP might be perceived, any linkage with the PNC/APNU might drive fear into AFC Indian voters and they might see the PPP as their best option.
Fear factor of the PNC days is still valid in Guyana and its a strong tool for the PPP.
