Dear Editor,
At last, we have an honest assessment of the PNCR. Many people knew from the start what this party truly represents; though Mr Rickford Burke would have you think the many characteristics he describes in his letter captioned “The PNC is on the brink of irrelevance, I call on Robert Corbin to resign” (07.11.11) are all recent occurrences.
It seems Mr Burke has only now come around to understanding how a vast majority of Guyanese always felt about the PNCR.
Burke admits that the PNCR has “no vision to offer as an alternative government” and he describes the party as a catastrophic failure. Among the words this PNC stalwart uses to describe his own party are: diminished, misconceived and mediocre, a state of disintegration, and impotent and irrelevant.
With such an abysmal reputation, even among its own, why does the party still blame racial politics every time it loses an election?
Isn’t it the truth that smart people will not vote PNCR for exactly the reasons so clearly laid out by Mr Burke?
Yours faithfully,
Justin de Freitas
