THE Alliance For Change (AFC) has once again showed its inability to reason and make informed decisions. The coalition with A Partnership for National Unity is nothing more than a body waiting for an opportunity to grab power.
They have basically made an attempt to fool uninformed citizens by coagulating as a group of recycled politicians waiting for their first chance of grabbing power. They have displayed a shocking ignorance and amnesia as it relates to the PNC.
The AFC has failed to learn from the mistakes of The United Force (TUF) at the 1964 polls, and could be condemned to the same fate. This Party has been adamant that the PNC has evolved over the years, but this change is not very visible. The PNC, under the leadership of David Granger, has been involved in multiple undemocratic acts. This current PNC has effectively muzzled Vanessa Kissoon, marginalised Lindeners, and also had undemocratic elections that allowed David Granger a second chance. This Party has displayed a failure to make morally correct decisions internally, much less in a coalition with the AFC. Let’s not forget how the TUF was unceremoniously removed and marginalised by the PNC in the past.
The PNC has also chosen to stick with a group of failures as politicians. The PNC chose to stick with Carl Greenidge, a man who has, over the years, failed to produce anything remarkable. In his time as Finance Minister, Guyana had triple-digit inflation, massive budget deficits, and tumbled to the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
Their leader, David Granger, I will speak of in a subsequent letter. Again, the Alliance For Change is willing to forgive the APNU just for a share of power.
Next on the list is hypocrisy. The Main Opposition has launched scathing attacks on the current administration with regards to youth involvement. I would like to highlight that you have to look no further than their current list of MPs to see their hypocrisy.
I believe that the AFC is guilty of bandwagoning for power, and is misleading the people for personal gain. This, however, can prove to be a very terrible decision. The AFC has shown incredible ignorance of morality and accountability; they are set to lose out terribly from their support. The past should act as a lesson; the AFC is set to learn a very big one.
