It’s more than just course correction that’s needed. The contest between questionable leadership and visionless stratagem is the take- it or leave - it offer we get every cycle; all along the ticket; from state to municipality- if we want to vote Democrat.
Its capacity for defeat remains habitual.
It has lost again with depleting margins and has retained its proprietary sliver of the Statewide Vote...Register 46 notwithstanding.

Few things so embitter a community as squandered hope and Afro Guyanese have decades of spent hope under the current rulers of Government… as a consequence of chronic shortsightedness by their delegates.
Though it’s not the principal wrongdoer, by refusing to function in the capacity for which it was elected makes the Opposition complicit in government wrongdoing.
