Columnist Ralph Ramkarran has decried President David Granger’s characterising on Thursday of the governing coalition as a `winner-does-not take-it-all’ model.
Granger made the statement when he addressed Parliament in a session marred by a cacophony from the opposition benches which drowned out most of the President’s address.
In Guyana’s political lexicon `winner-does-not-take-it-all’ means that the winning party does not control all of the major bases of power but that these are shared with the party coming second in what has historically been a duopoly here since independence.
In his column in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran referred to the President’s address to Parliament and said it makes constitutional reform seem remote.
