PLP has lost my vote

December 18, 2009

Dear Sir,

As our beloved Island descends into chaos and mayhem as a result of the recent gun violence, the lack of a unified, confidence building response from the Progressive Labour Party stands in stark contrast to the grassroots efforts being put forth by the very electorate who put the PLP in power.

Other than the sounds of frustration being expressed by Colonel Burch, who to his credit is at least trying to do something, the response to the crisis from the remaining members of the PLP, including the Premier, has been tepid at best. I am now officially an ex-PLP member who in the past, voted for the PLP my entire adult life. No more. The relative silence emanating from our current government is deafening. As Bob Marley once said: "So soon we find out who are the real revolutionaries."
