Amusement and disgust

THE EDITOR, Sir:

"TO THE pure, all things are pure", and the opposite is equally correct. I have been observing the People's National Party (PNP) leadership candidates fight for the support of 4,000 voters with great amusement and disgust.

Each candidate is loudly trumpeting to the delegates to "guard their votes and not sell them out," and they are hurling invective and accusations at each other, all for less than 4,000 votes. I never dreamt it possible that PNP members should haggle over votes.

While this vote war is being waged, there are over 300,000 unverified voters, of common citizens, of whom only passing mention has been made.

I suspect a different war is being waged with these 300,000 votes, a war that is far more sinister, with far more implications for this country. May God save our land.

I am, etc.,
