The problem is that neither party is willing to give up its claim of right to dominate the political space. This generates a culture that promotes ethnic dominance. It results in the feeling by at least one ethnic group that after elections its economic existence is threatened. The ‘winner take all’ philosophy, deeply embedded in liberal democratic theory and practice, promotes ethnic domination in Guyana. When ‘our’ party wins, it’s our ethnic group that wins. When ‘our’ party is defended or promoted, it’s an ethnic group that is defended or promoted. When the campaign is to support ‘our’ party, the subliminal message is to support ‘our’ ethnic group.

I believe there needs to be a movement of civic leaders, religious leaders, and other like minded groups to advocate for and demand Constitutional Reform. Neither of these clown parties wants to do it, they are quite comfortable with Burnham's constitution because it suits their intentions to teef.

There ought to be basic non discriminatory laws on the books....these people need to be taught that discrimination of all forms in the workplace, business, etc. will not be allowed, regardless of what party is in charge.
