THE EDITOR, Sir:
SOME YEARS ago when Bruce Golding left the JLP and formed the NDM I found myself defending him, saying things like "people really can change," "this man has a new life and a new cause; Let us give him a chance."
Today I am disappointed in him. I had my hopes up that if he continued rallying for changes then hopefully either my children or I would one day experience a new order of governance in Jamaica.
Bruce Golding knew full well (with the history of a third party experience in Jamaica) that if he was unsuccessful as leader of the NDM then probably no one else would have been successful. His resignation from the NDM was hasty and erratic but it was a definite prescription for a slow and painful death of the NDM, and it also made him available to the JLP.
Since Mr. Golding had made himself available to the JLP for almost three years now, why wasn't he lured back before now, at least where he could have been offered a seat. Are you being used, Mr. Golding?
Does he now hope to become the leader of JLP ahead of the other second-tier leaders who so faithfully supported the party when he left?
Can Bruce Golding be trusted: was his public outcry on governance and tribalism a result of him not being successful at getting Mr. Seaga to step down?
Tell me, Mr. Golding, now that you are back, is it that you have converted the JLP/Seaga or has the JLP/Seaga converted you. Or is this just another 'paid advertisement' for the JLP.
I am, etc.,
DISAPPOINTED
