I'm as Jamaican as anyone else but I wonder sometimes if we aren't just hopeless. Only in the bitter politics of the U.S. lately, have I seen this scorched earth attitude that the Jamaican Opposition has been employing.
How can it help us if the Opposition and its proxies campaign to block everything the government attempts in the hope that the government can then be accused of inaction or failure? If it was the JLP doing it in this blind way, it would be just as wrong.
When things that were always the norm are suddenly, hypocritically attacked as wrong, I smell a rat. Everyone associated with the government is suddenly to be tarnished & his/her reputation questioned & destroyed. Every project or programme is deemed questionable & needing urgent halting, pending a laborious investigation. Their desire to regain political power can't override our need for development can it?
