THE EDITOR, Sir:IT IS with great respect and a sense of profound admiration that I take the opportunity to congratulate Mr. Bruce Golding on his return to the JLP. As one of the "uncommitted" I think that the move by Mr. Golding is long overdue and such a son of the soil should be looked upon as nothing but an asset to our democratic process and by extension the socio-economic development of our sovereign nation.
I have long thought that in the present political climate of Jamaica there is not, at this present time, any room for a third (effective) political party and it is with this view in mind that I think that the only way to effectively orchestrate his methods for improving the well-being of his fellow countrymen is to align himself with one of our major political parties.
The effect of Mr. Golding's return can clearly be seen, as it is apparent that this move has crushed the incumbents' argument of potent successors within the ranks of the JLP. It is, in my opinion, a case of too little too late for this latest move to have any significant effect on the upcoming general elections as I strongly believe that all voting Jamaicans, whether they are saying so or not, have already made up their minds as to which way they are going to vote.
As I see it "di horse dun gone thru di gate" already and all wi can do now is wait an see who going mek it in di stretch dung di back-straight to the finish line first.
I am, etc.,
