THE EDITOR, Sir:
I REFER to your headline in The Sunday Gleaner of December 4, 'Votes that count'. I am an independent voter who has not yet decided which party I am going to vote for when the next general elections are called, but I have definitely decided which leaders I will not vote for. I will not vote for:
(1) Leaders who have presided haplessly over an escalating crime problem with seemingly no idea of how to solve it.
(2) Leaders who incur more and more debt with no plans as to how to pay it off (mi naw run wid it).
(3) Leaders who attend funerals of known dons.
(4) Leaders whose policies seem to be laced with corruption.
(5) Leaders who think so little of the masses that they think that one from their own party, who came from the masses and did not attend the University of the West Indies, is not intellectual enough to lead this great country.
So, Mr. Bertram, when you talk about votes that count, remember when the general elections are called, it's the votes of the masses and NOT the 4,000 delegates of the People's National Party that count.
I am, etc.,
