FITZROY: Obviously, UPP is doing something wrong. An introspection is needed immediately!

Dear Editor,

It is clear as crystal that UPP is not ready to govern this country.

The writing on the wall shows clearly that if UPP continue in the vein that they are going, the party will implode. The dwindling of their membership certainly says alot.

The departure of Hon Anthony Smith should not have happened. It is a shame & disgrace that UPP allowed their political enemy, ABLP,  to walk into their political camp & hijacked Hon Anthony Smith Jr, a soldier who was viewed as a bright prospect for the UPP political organization.

Several months ago the same happened with the Hon Dwayne George. It’s a matter of time that other members will do the same thing similar to what Cleon Athill did also.

Obviously, something is wrong within the UPP’s camp.

If we look back,  history has shown us that as the main opposition party, they have tried several strategic moves to dethrone the Labour party but unfortunately they have failed miserably. The metamorphosis from PLM to UNDP to UPP,  from LUMP to FAITHFUL NATIONALS, etc and yet still they can’t get it right.

So the question is what is it that UPP is doing wrong? Ofcourse, if the top is slack then the bottom will be slack also. Obviously, UPP is focusing their energies in the wrong direction.

In addition, getting bad advice seems to be another factor that is causing their downfall..

As the main opposition party, it is full time for UPP to carryout a full introspection & clean up their mess.

The introspection should look at (1) the rhetoric from the talk shows that is influencing some members in the organization (2)those members who are been devalued in the organization and (3) the radical policies they are implementing which are not sitting too well with their members especially the younger ones..

UPP’s mission is skewed. Using hate, vendetta & lies as their main ammunition to destroy the Labour party is definitely proving futile. Clearly, it can be seen that PM Browne & ABLP administration is absolutely several steps ahead of the political game.

Democracy is working well. 

The stones that UPP is refusing may not become the head corner stones for ABLP but certainly, they will play a pivotal role in the ABLP organization.
