DNAs should join the PLP

As of Wednesday, April 4, 2018

EDITOR, The Tribune.

AFTER two flops at back-to-back elections it is obvious the DNA is done. The party can’t win seats. It won’t ever form a government.

The party’s former leader Branville McCartney has stepped away. Chris Mortimer, the interim leader, and Arinthia Komolafe, the deputy, are still, however, fighting the fight.

McCartney, Mortimer and Komolafe have something to contribute to the country. I think they care about the Bahamas.

There is always more opportunity to rise on the opposition side. Bahamians think well of McCartney, Mortimer and Komolafe. They should join the PLP and help build back up that organisation. The PLP needs good people who could be candidates next time.

Staying in the DNA is a waste of time for Mortimer and Komolafe. At least McCartney figured that out.

The sooner the three of them join the PLP the better. They could start working in constituencies and get to know the people.

Third parties are a waste of time. If you’re talented and want to make a difference you have to be with one of the main parties. McCartney, Mortimer and Komolafe would make good PLPs.

Hold on now! You are suggesting that outstanding citizens join the corrupt to the core PLP party? They will be tainted forever and still not have any say even if the PLP win again. The PLP will chew them up and spit them out like they do all decent people. Only rats lives in sewerage!

The biggest problem with the DNA is its leadership cannot connect with the small man in a meaningful way. They simply cannot build grass-root support and ideas alone are not enough to win elections. Joining with the PLP is a waste of time as all joiners are made to conform to the party machinery.

For real change we need a new breed of nationalistic politicians who are prepared to put country before self, but if I am not wrong, George Mackey was the last one and he's dead.
