There were to be concluded an agreement between Jagan and Burnham for the merger of the PPP and PNC short before Burnham passed away. 

1. Hoyte  saw the damage that socialism had done to Guyana and had no interest in teaming up with a communist party.

More make believe. Hoyte had to be bitchslapped by the IMF and WB before he made any adjustments. He did not do it on his own. He had 1985 to say that he will not be an election rigger like his hero Burnham but he didn't. Now you seek to rewrite history by your make believe that after Burnham died, Hoyte wanted nothing to do with Burnham and Jagan socialist ideas because he didn't like what it had done to Guyana. All indications were that Hoyte intended to continue operating just like Burnham did as evidenced by his rigging of the 1985 elections just mere months after Burnham died. But it wasn't to happen because he quickly dropped Guyana into insolvency.

When President Desmond Hoyte took power in August 1985 after the death of Forbes Burnham, he declared his intention to speed up "the pursuit of socialist construction" in Guyana. He re-emphasised this assertion after he reinforced his power at grossly rigged elections four months later.
