If the JLP delivers economic growth, its lights out for Peter, Portia and Paul

The JLP has focused on taking Jamaica from poverty to prosperity and based on the how they have begun, it appears that they are very serious about that pledge.

The former  Prime Minister, who appears to only know growth from the dictionary or from other sources, says she is confused by the number of folks the JLP has thrown at the growth agenda.

I am not very surprised by this bemusement by the former Prime Minister as it was clear that when she was in power, she understood very little about the growth agenda. Recall the Prime Minister in her 40 yrs as a MP and as a member of the PNP has seen very little growth and so does not really know how growth looks or is manifested and could not tell what is growth even if she sees it.

The same applies to Peter Phillips etal, they all have no idea how to create economic growth and would all fail to recognize it even if it slaps them in the face.

If the JLP delivers growth that people can feel, eg the $18,000 tax break, free education , free health that actually works, it will be curtains for the careers of Peter, Portia, Paul and many others.

Its a pity people like Julian Robinson and soon to be MP Mark Golding are likely to be part of an opposition for the next 15 years, due primarily to the fact that the JLP would have found a way to bring about prosperity on the land.

These guys are too good to languish in opposition and as such I hope they hop over to greener pastures and join the prosperity train.

Peter and Portia can continue to preach doom and gloom, but very few will be listening
