I was not in politics in 2007. And Guyana was a poor country then. With the prospects of oil on the horizon it would be a disaster if we have a dictatorship govt going forward - PPP or PNC.

One of the biggest shocks that Guyanese will face is that even after oil Guyana will still be poor. Cannot think of any oil dependent nation that is in a good way now, and many of them have more value added than Guyana will get in the interim. Look at T&T.

Few Guyanese will get jobs. The government will have more money to waste and the aged blacks or the corrupt Indians (depending on which party wins) will have more to squander. Income inequality will become even worse than it now is.
