Facing the facts, among other things

After the news that the President of the US is “concerned” by what is happening in TT and the Caribbean region in general, the local gamesmanship had to end.

The sitting Opposition would have realised that it did not need any more political nails in a rotten coffin.

There is a paucity of properly workable ideas with regard to Opposition strategising. Like waiting for a three-year-old to get up from the floor after throwing a tantrum, the Opposition had to comply and sign or die another small death.. Obstructionist behaviour hurts badly. What was really politically gained by going to a joint select committee of Parliament? Nothing big. A little stitch here and another stitch there? A small/large amount of face-saving? Importantly, is everyone pleased with their extra 15 minutes of political fame? Lynette Joseph Diego Martin
