MESSAGING MATTERS

Lurching from demanding the logistic impossibility of Bio-metrics, through using the diplomatic community as the ‘headmaster's office’ to submit complaints - the stutter step that’s Opposition strategy- is the one constant that takes it in to General Elections.

GUYANA- NATIONAL UNITY NOW

Wars are Party neutral. Their goal is your country. We shouldn't even have to say it.

ONE GUYANA?

One Guyana may be an intent but is easily refuted if laws and policies to effect the intent are not for the benefit of all of society.

INTERNATIONAL OBSERVER LEGITIMACY

The appearance of objectivity and impartiality by International Observers are the elements that lend legitimacy, make the whole external observation law a function of fair elections and a measure of transparency that is welcome by members in the electorate looking for that truth and honesty when it comes to the casting of their votes.

DEBATE SOUTH CAROLINA

In the State which ranks 44th out of 50 States in Education, it is easy to see how transient Politicians would patch together a Campaign from some past template, especially when they are guaranteed cover in the form of endorsements from politicians who once bled blue.

OIL

Of the 50 years the country existed as a Cooperative republic 23 consecutive years saw it governed purely for access to its treasury through a series of Accounting and Auditing frauds. The image of endemic corruption and wholesale banditry that follows the country was earned under the Jagdeo and PPP Administration. A Coalition Government will fix that.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BASE

We expect a higher level of campaigning, one that rises above the overdone wine downs and the tantalize and the hints at raunchiness. Campaigns are events at which politicians solicit the vote not expect it; which would require them to make a substantial case to both their base and to others who may be won over.

CHEERS AND JEERS

Granted, almost anything can happen in a year but a bountiful harvest of political disservice is not politics as usual, not when it straddles appeasing Venezuela and the vicious attacks on Afro Guyanese that are normally hidden because of shame and discretion.

WADDELL EARMARKED

Is it really civic blasphemy to expect the full disclosure and democracy that was promised and not feel taken by the uncomplicated level of obfuscation that’s insulting both to supporters rights and intelligence?

FOREIGN SERVICE DOWN

The purging of these stalwarts by this President on the eve of an election, in the face of a border dispute with a country that has already occupied part of Guyana since 1966 and in the advent of oil, questions why he has chosen to disembowel the nation’s foreign service to place highly sensitive matters in the hands of politically appointed novices, for reasons that do not benefit Guyana- and at a time such as now.

WHISTLEBLOWER

Might we add that our decision to carry this is no way our condemnation of the Coalition. We still support their run for governance as strongly as we denounce that of the PPP’s.

THIRD FORCE AFC

For those us who remember the days when talk of the ‘Third Force’ showed hope beyond the stagnation of the traditional political Parties, the...

REASON FOR COALITION

Stoking hostility and raising rancor remains the single offer of the Party that has the word 'progressive ' in it... having already demonstrated what it does with national revenues and nation building, for as long as many of these voters have been alive.

IRFAAN FOR PRESIDENT

Now, if Irfaan for President is the answer, it would only be fair for us to look at the question.And we found it,...

JAGDEO CJIA CORRUPTION

Fact is, too, neither Jagdeo nor his Party has any standing to be in the reputation laundering business. None.

GECOM CHAIRMAN ID CARDS

GECOM under Jagdeo warehoused more than 35,000 Voter ID's whose applicants are still to be verified as real.
