The combined union turnout around Parliament this morning was truly impressive. The unions’ obeisance to the PLP has worked to the disadvantage of their workers, and a correction is occurring.
The PLP was re-elected on the myth that its elite are the embodiment of the people. Take the emotion out of the equation, and it is clear that is not true.
I think Dr. Brown saw last year’s election as a mandate to rule without restriction.
I think the people saw it as a chance for the PLP, after 10 years in Government, to finally take the training wheels off and govern with moderation.
It is surprising how quickly the goodwill is being squandered by Dr. Brown’s Government … from unionised locals to international business people and from the disillusioned young to the swing voters who must now wonder what they did with their vote.
