Like I said, non-East Indians will have to stubbornly vote against their own stomachs to vote for this Coalition government in 2020.

Why is that the case? The PPP did not see to t heir welfare but had them as vassals to an Indo suzerain class. There is nothing redemptive in the PPP and they show no smarts greater than the Granger lot. That they will steal like the PPP did is incidental to it all. It is the PPP not learning from history that have us victims to reciprocal kleptocratic government.

It is unfair to say that non-Indians livelihoods did not improve while the PPP were in government. Everyone's livelihoods improved while the PPP were in government. Since 2015, those positives are made u-turns.

There are many incidental change not a function of the PPP's creativity but a consequence of the world changing. We still suck where communication is concerned. Here we see the direct result of PPP incompetence. They implanted PPP neophytes to manage growth here and because of them Guyanese still struggle with 1.6kb bandwidth.

As I said, the Petrocarbide deal which if managed well could have bootstrapped the rice industry and much of the industrial base. including sugar. Instead the money was siphoned off to PPP cronies who leeched off every aspect of opportunities here to the point that rice failed.

That the PNC stopped the give away of our prized hardwoods like wamara and bullet wood for me is reason alone to keep them in office. The pigs in the PPP sold that off to every chinese who can offer the party 30 pieces of silver.

Any dunce with a good heart could have managed guyana a hundred times better.

All that withstanding, people were still better off than they are right now. The country dead and buried prior to the PPP entering government in 1992. It continued to improve and everyone benefited. Since 2015, the economy have been in a tailspin as illustrated here.
