After today’s court ruling which declared the action taken by Andrew Holness against Tufton and Williams Null and Void, it has left the party leader in a most embarrassing position and the best way out is for Holness to step aside and allow the delegates to elect Shaw as party leader.
Holness does not have the energy required to take the JLP to victory and if he does not step aside with haste, it means the country is likely to see at least another five years of the disaster call the PNP. Despite what the polls are showing, Andrew Holness as leader of the JLP cannot beat the PNP.
Given the court ruling Andrew should step aside post haste and give the JLP a fighting chance of a rare electoral win. As a country we cannot afford another 5 years of PNP rule.
Jay, I want you to go back and read all my posts on this blog – I have said over and over that Holness is a complete unmitigated buffoon and fraud – claiming to be new and different, but proving to be old and pathetic by his actions. By your post today, you have finally agreed with ALL my previous posts which you disagreed with when I posted them.
Just to show how dense Holness is, he’s now courting contempt of court and the constitution by the statement he put out in response to the ruling.
Jay, Holness, like Seaga, is an asset to the PNP!
Jay, you need to give me a prize “most accurate blogger on Holness”
Lol Mich. I too have questioned his leadership time and time again.
I, mean, seriously, unno eva see anything as bizarre as the JLP? In his column last Sunday in the Gleaner, Ian Boyne said those who were calling Holness petty and vindictive were wrong – Boyne is dead wrong.
Somebody wrote in the Observer that the JLP has a suicide bomb strapped to it – truly!
The GG – who is just there getting fat – should not have appointed any new Senators when he learnt how Holness had removed Williams and Tufton.
You know, sometimes we have to look way beyond the surface of issues. What Holness did has shone a light on yet another dark aspect of our politics, which is the lack of true representation of us, the people.
What exactly do I mean? Instead of representing the interests of their constituents, Jamaican politicians are first beholden to the interests of their respective party or party leader.
In the case of the Senate, what the Constitution contemplates is for it to be a body that soberly acts for the greater good, even moreso than the lower house.
Holness’ action with the pre-signed letters was designed to further corrupt and undermine our governance arrangements in that the Senators were literally handcuffed and bound to follow the dictates of Holness, never free to act in the best interest of the people as their education, experience, or conscience would have indicated concerning matters before them.
All this dastardly deception from a young man born after Independence!
Unno nuh si sey wi corna dark. And that is one of the reasons I took a break from this blog to accumulate a nice little bit of green backs.
What about making some Jam dollars. Useless nuh!
Almost Four years ago, I in essence said, that the manner in which Holness accepted and ascended to power makes him a questionable character. Nothing new and different. It is now unfolding for the entire Jamaica to see. This is what we get when the mentors are the architects of a failed system that only represent a few.
