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.
2. Jagan did NOT, as a condition for this unity government, insist that the constitution be changed. That fact shows that the PPP loves this Burnham constitution. They just wanted to be sure that it would be a PPP president that would be above the law.
3. Had Burnham not died before the unity agreement was signed his death would have meant that Jagan would then replace him as president. Jagan knew fully well that Burnham was sick. This is why he did NOT insist that the constitution be changed as he wanted to be a president above the law.
But Gilly being naïve and missing his PPP fellow ethnics runs back to the plantation, indeed much as I expected him to. He can scream that I am a racist all he likes but his lapping up to the constitution promulgated by a black dictators answers that.
