Reply to "AFC must give up gov’t posts to save credibility, support –Ramkarran."

Like it or not, Guyanese are entrenched in a PPP/PNC realm. Any other party will only be instrumental in keeping those two parties honest. The AFC was able to garner more support than any other third party to limit the power of the two major parties as evidenced by their performance in the 2011 elections and their subsequent alignment with the main Opposition PNC in limiting/curbing the actions of the ruling PPP. While their teaming up with the PNC has earned them the right to govern, all it managed to do is destroyed their political capital developed over the past decade. Today, it is on life support and for all intents and purposes, Granger seems ready to pull the plug on them. From the article above, it looks like Granger and Harmon are welcoming the Accord review more than the AFC and that could only mean that the PNC intends to further limit the role of the AFC in a revised Accord. As our buddy Carib has been saying since May 16, 2015, the AFC got more Coalition parliamentary seats than the support the brought to the Coalition. He didn't think they deserve the 12 seats they got and my guess is that Granger and Harmon will point that out to the AFC. So Ramkarran is correct. The more the AFC remain part of the Coalition government, the less it will exist as a Party for Change.
