Dear Editor,
The PPP government needs to stop trying to win the PNC over and recognise that opposition political parties are not there to help the government of the day. They want to replace the government regardless of how successful the policies of the governing party may be. The PNC, for all its pretence of wanting to share governance, is not there to make life comfortable for the government and as such is not really negotiating in good faith. It would be best for the PPP government, having been elected by a majority in a democratic election, to ensure that the progress of Guyana is continued regardless of the stance of the opposition. Yes, the opposition would like to be consulted about every decision that the government makes, and may want to contribute to Guyana by suggesting that a change in their policy may be a good way forward, however, the PNC is on record as saying that it does not intend to help out the government by suggesting ideas for development. The government needs to develop Guyana in spite of what opposition politicians do or say and not because of what they say.
