Dear Editor,
The 28th day of November 2011 has come and gone, the day the political leaders of Guyana have faced the electorate, asking for a grade after five years of work since the last grading, and about three months of campaigning where they explain their actions and provide clarification as to why they should be given a passing grade.
The judges (the electorate) have issue the grades, PPP/C failed with 48.6%; APNU failed with 40.8% AFC failed with 10.3% TUF failed badly with 0.3%.
What this means is simply that the electorate is not satisfied with the way its leaders are performing.
Over the coming days, different social and political scientists and analysts will try to explain this in different ways and through different lenses, but the bottom line will be that the electorate is not satisfied with any of its leaders.
All the leaders had five years to prove themselves in the fields – about three months of which they had to explain their performance before the judges.
The judges listened to them debate and discussed among themselves; they issued their grades and gave their recommendation.
Their grade is final, and their recommendation is there to follow or not to follow until the next grading. The grades: all failed.
The recommendation: all need to work together for the betterment of Guyana, and not just themselves or party, in an atmosphere of compromise.
It’s a test of maturity to accept one’s grade and try to better it. None of the leaders were given what they asked for, however I believe what was given is good for Guyana, and would like to commend Mr. Christopher Ram for expressing his view that the country is poised for good days, and APNU and AFC should not try to bring down the government.
