Stupidity of Guyanese politics on racial lines!

Mar 21, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

I  have  a  solve for  this  political  football  called “racismanese  politics ” that  been  around  and  invented  by  the  colonizers or imperialists since 1965.

My hypothetical  solution  is 4 year terms for 3 party system  Mixed Race party, Afro-Guyanese Party and Indo- Guyanese  Party, the first  party, no  order implied, will have  4 years to lead  then it hands over leadership  to the  next  party  and so on  and  so  forth. Guyanese  citizens  will  only  vote  on referendums and recalls  of bills and heads of  state owned enterprises, including  Ambassadors  and permanent  secretaries.

Citizens  will  be able  to  nullify bills that negatively   affect  their  lives during  the  four years  of reign of  the party  in power, including  bills  related  to  taxes. Separately, citizens will vote to keep good  projects or cancel nonsensical  or wasteful ones , including  those  approved  by  the  procurement  authorities, contracts  also  includes those of  heads of government  entities as well  as  commissioners or permanent  secretaries and ambassadors.

I  believe  the  racial  tangent  will eventually intersect at the  point  of  ‘One People,  One Nation,  One  Destiny’. Okay you are right just wishful thinking….

I forgot those little  parties by religious  beliefs, sexual orientation, old money, new money,  Demerarans , Berbicians , Essequibians, socialists , communists, capitalists, fascists…I guess  you  see my point that  the  stupidity  of Guyanese  politics  on racial  lines is tantamount  to  a dog chasing  its tail or a cat pouncing on its shadow!

So I suggest  Guyanese  get their act together  before  they  all  become an annex  under  Venezuelan rule, resulting  in  Spanish  being the glue that  will  hold Guyanese  together  and not Mashramani.

Regards,

Keith Bernard
