I have seen Ms Backer’s letter in great admiration for collations. She has now become a great advocate of that strategy.
But Ms Backer has missed the point. The PPP is the first Party to have worked to build collations. It succeeded in 1992 to build a huge collation, the PPP/Civic. This collation brought together forces from various classes and striates in Guyana.
That collation succeeded in removing the PNC dictatorial regime and restoring democracy in our country. It is still going strong and under this collation Guyana advanced in every area of life.
Ms Backer and others who obviously benefit from the PNC dictatorship is now trying to build a collation to return to dictatorship rule. Let us not forget that the PNC got into office via a collation and improved its dictatorial rule.
Those who forget the past are condemned to make the same mistakes.
