When you speak of Anil needing a more aggressive approach to deal with the PNC, are you speaking of clashing swords?  If you have been paying attention to the role of the Opposition since 2015, you may have noticed that Anil is one of the fiercest politicians in Guyana right now.  Anil and BJ have been calling out the coalition on all the corruption they have practiced so far.

I am going to chalk this one up to you NOT knowing politics and politicians in Guyana.

Again, we have to separate the politician from the lawyer. 

If the PPP is faced with a rigged election in 2020, is Anil going to lead the marches in GT and be willing to face the brunt of the PNC, or is he going be morally indignant and tell the PPP supporters to wait for the courts to decide on the issue???

I am saying to you that he will opt for the lawyer option...so the PPP  might be looking at a long term exclusion from political power. Jagan has not taught PPP members otherwise...he let the PNC and Burnham ride roughshod over him for 28 years. Rodney did a much better job at shaking up the PNC. 

As of now, I do not see a rising star in the PPP (except Jagdeo, but he has too much baggage) who is capable of taking on the PNC. Anil is good at being a lawyer, but like I said, being a good lawyer does not automatically make a person an effective politician.
