Dear Editor,
The editorial in the Guyana Chronicle on October 6, 2008 “The Convenience of Opportunism” raised some interesting concerns, among other things. Perhaps a more direct question to be asked is whether Guyanese are willing to give the PNC a second chance in office.
In most world democracies, political parties are given a second chance.
If the PNC is given a second chance what would the Party do that is (are) different from its controversial history. What has the so-called isolation of the PNC from political office done to the party leaders and its followers?
Did it make the PNC angrier or did it create a renewed sense of identity that is in tandem with Guyanese people? The latter is yet to be demonstrated but overall these are serious questions that demand serious answers. The evidence seems to point towards the concept that the PNC may exist as a sentimental political party in Guyana.
Yours faithfully,
Lomarsh Roopnarine
