AS Guyanese get ready to vote for a government, they should think clearly and examine their future. In Antigua in 2004, the ALP had been in power for 28 years and the country had seen unbelievable development. The opposition launched a massive and glitzy campaign of change and people bought into it.
Change just for the sake of change. A good tag line.
So in 2004, Antiguans voted for a change and had 10 years of hell. The country went backward 30 years.
Over 15,000 Guyanese lived in Antigua in 2004. Many of them had to run back home as unemployment and high, violent crime took over.
Let the Guyanese who lived in Antigua prior to 2004 and then had to run after the 2004 elections tell their story.
People will begin to understand that change for the sake of change makes no sense.
You know what you have. In spite of all the blockades set up by the Opposition in Parliament, you have seen development. And now this same Opposition is talking about implementing many of the projects they have blocked over the past 3 years.
Do not be fooled. The frying pan is better than the fire.

GUY TIGUAN.
