Alex Scott asks that voters cover their noses and vote for the PLP in the faith the party will get back on track after the election.

“I say to people: ‘Don’t abandon the party – to turn away because you don’t like what’s happening today is foolhardy because you don’t know what’s around the corner. After the election we will have the benefit of hindsight. We can say: ‘Well, we survived, but we must now, if we are going to be a meaningful administration, and a successful Government, we should probably rethink this issue here… Afterwards the party will conduct the postmortem and will listen to the people and will make the changes necessary.”

There you have it, ladies and gents, the PLP 2007 platform: reelect us and maybe we’ll try and sort ourselves out later. You couldn’t get a clearer admission that the PLP know that they are off course.

But this comment is so indicative of the PLP’s muddled thinking. The “good” we want is stable, accountable government … not create the continuation of the PLP’s disruptive rule at whatever cost to our country. Sorry, we don’t want to be deceived anymore.

Just over two weeks to go until the election: still no platform from the PLP. Nada. They know they can only win this election on emotion, because the facts are not pretty.
