Ok folks,
The first appearance of a crack in the AFC/PNC coalition has widened and it was only a matter of time before both parties clash heads. After all, the honeymoon is over.
Ramjattan is demanding a better share of seats at the recently held LGE and will lock horns with the PNC over this matter.
In all fairness to the PNC, they are the real force behind this coalition and is rightfully seeking a larger share. This will be the real argument and statements of facts that they will use if and when both parties sit down to settle this major rift.
There is no mention of LGE in the Cummingsburg accord and Granger will use that as his argument in defence of his party and members. Moses and Ramjattan should have thought of this long before contesting the LGE under the APNU banner.
In politics, you cannot trust anyone and Moses and Ramjattan forgot this golden rule and were stabbed in the backs. While Ramjattan appears to be fighting back, Moses appears to be silent so far.
The PPP needs to keep all options open.
The PNC fought at the PNC Congress place amid allegations from PNC stronghold supporters about rigging by Granger and his faction. Swords were drawn and debates were heated but in the end they all kissed and made up.
Moses and Ramjattan left the PPP over major disagreements and formed the AFC which eventually dethroned the arrogant PPP. They had their revenge but it was not all sweet since Moses had to resign himself as PM until the maker decides to make his call. Moses dream of Presidency is dead.
The PM position is a ceremonial in accordance with the constitution of Guyana with the President holding most of the power.
PPP can use another ceremonial PM and that is the reality of Guyana's politics.
Ramjattan has higher aspirations and he is currently limited in how far he can go with the PNC which is an Afro based party and which may never appoint an Indo as President. Ramjattan has to ponder on this reality.
Poster Gil has correctly indicated that the PPP needs to have an open line of communication with the AFC even though it is a low level one. This is not a time for swords to clash over old grievances but the PPP needs to look at the bigger picture and egos must stand out of the way.
Lord Jesus taught us to forgive and forget and the PPP must also ponder on this. Lord Krsna acted as an ambassador of peace of the Pandavas when the Kauravas wanted war. The Kauravas refused the peace accord and lost the war. The PPP needs to remember history.
Can't we all get among ? Time to bring home our brothers if they see it fit to return home. The older and retired members of the PPP need to work out a peace deal.
Many many disagree with me but peace is better than defeat.
Who knows, we might be headed to the polls before 2020.
