The MSJ withdrawal from the so-called People's Partnership is nothing more than the exercise of a conscience vote against the unacceptable behaviour of this rampant, self-serving UNC. It clearly makes nonsense of Prime Ministerial bravado which so often proclaims that they are more united than ever and it now puts an end to the frequent futile assurances from Royalty that she has all that it takes to keep the subjects of the partnership together.
The PNM maintains that what we have in office, masquerading as a coalition, is nothing more than a thinly disguised UNC cabal hiding behind an embarrassed veil of disposable facilitating groups. Now that the MSJ has removed itself, it is only the desperate desire of the COP Leader to hold on to the UNC Constituency which he currently occupies, that is delaying their departure from the wreck.
Notwithstanding the unending propaganda campaign, all that has been provided by the current governing arrangement is a stream of stifling confusion, over whelming incompetence, runaway corruption, lack of national confidence and a general feeling of chronic disappointment which seriously damages any prospect for any improvement in the quality of life of the people of Trinidad and Tobago but prefers to submerse itself in Government in this pretence of a dysfunctional "partnership".
It is inevitable that the wider population would take the necessary steps to divorce itself from the UNC which is always ashamed to stand on its own name. The only way that the Prime Minister, with a strait face, could say that the exit of Abdullah and the MSJ has left the Government stronger, is that she is finally admitting, publicly, that all the "partnership" talk is a sham and it was always a UNC cabal which remains unaffected as the disillusioned political neophytes withdraw in deep disappointment I inadvertently did not put in the full stop at the end of the sentences.
Regards,
Keith Rowley
Leader of the Opposition
