The job of the Opposition is to check and balance...not for specific individuals, particular groups or decided causes but for the overall improvement of all resident Guyanese.
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.
We get that politics is an incredibly tricky and complex institution built on bureaucracies and legislation…which is why the Opposition, not being in Parliament, is so self- defeating.
Election is not a promotion, nor is it social elevation. It’s a contract with a politician who pledged to act in voters’ interest at the governing table. Period. Opposition politicking, nonetheless, remains a species of victimhood where the persecution complex is substituted for politicians’ failure to act…is our opinion.
There’s nothing wrong with downplaying history but danger resides in understating it to the point of dissolution which then becomes straight up deception.
But we’re tired of the ongoing persecution complex, the attack strategy of pointing to oppression and discrimination then dressing in some victimhood armor to pelt pebbles instead of stones.
At its most basic, the previous government lost the election because of the obvious absence of functional administrative structure which made it easy for a change of government to be effectuated with a premier assist from the US ambassador
And when purposeful activities devolve into burning and looting and brawling, they do not only lose justification but provide ammunition for the very people whose injustice the protest is intended to highligh...
The good of the country requires less pretense by those who are whispering about this mal-performance, more open discourse, even intervention, into what is heading in the direction of further disaster.
Nepotism, cronyism, political mayhem and everything that makes Guyana a failed state is alive and well in national politics and is to be separated from its impending oil wealth – because soft invasions of the type that America’s IRI could be accused of focus on social collapse…
The Party is not a club. It’s not a military pool for civil service respite. It was constituted as a political body from which to select leaders to represent citizens who need guidance and direction to get their rightful due from their country and society.
