Opposition must get off negative platform

Oct 03, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

The Opposition has to get off that platform of negatives it is presently portraying, it is not doing them, or the nation any good. A campaign of negativity tells everyone that the party is bankrupt of ideas and, as such, wants its followers to be of that mindset also. Pretty soon that irresponsible behaviour would backfire on them and they would reap the rewards of their evil deeds.
A fledgling developing nation, such as ours, can ill-afford the backwardness and pessimism that is coming from the Opposition. The people are looking for an opposition that would come to the table with positive and progressive ideas, which would augur well in the co-governance of this country.
I am looking at the report card of the Opposition and what I see is a mountain of negatives, in agriculture, in education, in crime fighting, you name it and the PNC are there as an irritating annoyance standing in the way ready to block the peaceful and progressive path of the government. It is, as it were, an irreversible obstructionist stance, taken ever since they lost the last general elections; this is a vivid example of the subversive approach.
The high water mark or their stupidity comes across in the handling of the coronavirus issue. Their position has been most unfortunate, especially when they keep pushing that slogan “My body, My choice” position. This has been the most reckless and irresponsible call to date, because it has succeeded in endangering the lives of so many people.
When a party can be so callous and heartless, it shows the depths at which it is prepared to go to score cheap political points. They do not care about people; they only care about themselves and in this regard, I view this as a crime against humanity factor. People are dying while the political opposition postures with this foolishness of: “My body, My choice.” But their efforts at obstructing progress will not succeed, I repeat, their efforts at obstructing progress will not succeed, because with every negative effort to derail the process comes another progressive alternative set out by the government.
Guyana is on the threshold of becoming the next Singapore of the world, with the fastest growing economy in the world. We will not be bogged down by the retrograde thinking of a minority. We are on an upward trajectory and on this road, negative forecasters would not be accommodated nor would they be allowed to impede our progress.

Respectfully submitted,
Neil Adams
