Madame’s ‘smaller parties too’ vision of governance has elevated ambition beyond practical application. It’s a broad stroke approach to brokering that her Conservative Party Government has deployed several times to satisfy that image they peddle – ‘Peace Keeper’.

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.
We expect a higher level of campaigning, one that rises above the overdone wine downs and the tantalize and the hints at raunchiness.
