Danyael posted:The government in the technical sense means the administration and the opposition. Both sides are involved in the administration of the state or should be. They are both on the payroll of the state and so represent the state. This fellow as the regional chairman may belong to the opposition bench but he is the leader in the community administration as well.
Nevertheless, he does not work for Granger. There are many Opposition members in Parliament who are on the state payroll but they don't work for Granger nor do they have any obligation to toe his line. If that was the case, then the current government while in opposition would have been obligated to toe the PPP line but they did not do. The current government is seeking to bully everyone in Guyana to fall into line with them. We have seen that movie before during Burnham's time and no one is interested in seeing it again. Well, apparently except this government.
