Five reasons the PPPC will lose the elections

Sep 21, 2011 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
Contrary to what the PPP/C would like the Guyanese people to believe about their performance at the upcoming elections, as seen in their many bogus polls, the likelihood of them being voted out of office this year presents a real and present danger to their very existence.
To support this notion, I put forward the five main reasons why the PPP/C will lose these elections.
(1) Failure to bring down the cost-of-living; this is an immediate concern for the average person regardless of race or geographic location. The average Guyanese barely survives while PPP/C government officials live in mansions and drive the most expensive cars. The inability to feed, clothe and shelter ones family is nothing to smile about.
(2) Fear of being robbed, murdered and/or seriously injured by bandits, knowing the Guyana Police Force will not provide any protection. Being awakened in the dead of the night to look down the barrel of a gun and have all your life savings and valuables taken away is nothing to smile about.
(3) The PPP/C’s collusion with narco traffickers/death squads. WikiLeaks has confirmed what the Guyanese people already knew; that there is compelling evidence that links the government of Guyana to Roger Khan, the phantom squad and numerous criminal activities.
(4) Racism and marginalization; Information coming out of the ongoing libel case before the court points to systematic racism being practised by the state.
(5)  Incompetence and corruption; The PPP/C places individuals in high positions, not based on qualifications/experience, but on loyalty to the Cup. That same criterion is used to reward loyalists, almost always with state funds and resources.
Such dismal performance by the PPP/C comes at a time when radical change is sweeping across nations that have been ruled by tyrants and bigots. The time for change is now and the PPP/C understands this, especially since they know that all the people cannot be fooled all the time.
