Political lines being drawn in the sand

This attention-seeking ploy of not attending the FATCA debate is meant to flabbergast the citizenry.

Staying up on the sixth floor of the Parliament building looking at the FATCA debate on TV is silly teenager strategy. It can be alleged that this behaviour is the Opposition’s own form of mentally terrorising the public.

The not speaking to the business community is another form of a young pre-teen disappearing and then being found safely staying with a friend. But the public never gets to find out exactly what the youngster was doing.

So, who is the Opposition teenager vexed with? Is this a case of “for spite, we ent going nowhere?” This is not the way to run a country.

This behaviour illustrates that the UNC will not be ready in 2020 or any year. It will still be fussing and fuming because it overplayed its hand and lost office because of alleged gross mismanagement and over-spending.

It can be safely assumed that when the coalition People’s Partnership won 29 seats in 2010 it though political invincibility would keep it in government forever. The Opposition’s only hope today is to play on the insecurity of PNM supporters who it believes can be bought for a few bangles, baubles and beads.

The other scenario is to box Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley into a corner where he can be blamed for hurricane weather, bandits, human trafficking, and murders.

The alternative is to depend heavily on social media to give the Opposition a toe hold for the general election in 2020.

Some say the political lines are being drawn in the sand. It is just too bad that citizens and the economy will be collateral damage.
