-one Brigadier, two Majors-General
(Two upfront “relevant digressions”: Do you realise that one, two or three representatives of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) have letters appearing in three local newspapers, daily!? (The Chronicle is as of the recent past-resorting to being overwhelmingly “government-friendly”.) And by “opposition” I mean not merely the formal PPP parliamentary/political opposers but include their civic surrogates, business interests, analysts and critics, columnists and professional letter-writers to editor.)

For Granger’s PNC, because…
Fans and regulars of this Man-in-the-Street Friday offering would know how I was intrigued by the Retired Brigadier David Arthur Granger’s masterful manipulation to become at one time- leader of Burnham’s People’s National Congress (PNC), Leader of the (mostly amorphous) APNU and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament. Now the retired officer and historian is both president and a constitutional component of Parliament! Not bad for a once-relative political neophyte.
