-I’ve been telling you! Staying B.A.M.N
The seven decades-long political behemoths to stalk this once-pristine Guyana land – as political parties – have begun, in earnest, their election strategies to retain or reclaim governmental dominion over us.
The People’s National Congress (PNC) and People’s Progressive Party (PPP) bequeathed to our hapless working –class by Burnham and Jagan, now have an added powerful incentive to wage political warfare over: – oil and gas. (I wrote “working-class” because, Frankly Speaking, the more upper classes knew how to become a part of the respective political organisations. From religious organisations to Private Sector interests to ethnic-specific representatives to elite fraternities, the local bourgeois found ways to embed themselves into power (covertly). The ordinary political tribesmen bore their sufferings and voted for their own for decades.
Now as the high-stakes, jubilee, oil-and-gas elections beckon, planning has long started, viciously fueled by last December’s vote in the House.
