Quote:The reformists are on the move. Come a few weeks time, Bruce Golding will be chairman and the writing will be on the wall for the dinosaurs in the JLP.
Quote:According to the highly respected and not-to-be-taken-for-granted Stone Polls, the PNP has been leading the JLP and was fast gaining momentum. Stone, via fellow columnist Mark Wignall, pointed to the fact that the Seaga factor was greatly responsible for this disturbing situation. Panic had begun to set in the JLP camp, its supporters were becoming demoralised. The JLP had to find a way out, Bruce was also looking a way out so as not to become increasingly irrelevant to the political process. In the final analysis, Bruce needed the JLP and the JLP needed Bruce. That is the bottom line. What is even more plausible is that Bruce, outside of the dictates of his personal ambitions, was doing what he felt was the right thing for Jamaica if our democratic way of life was to be preserved. Let's face it, a fourth consecutive term for the PNP could open the way for arrogance leading to dictatorship of one kind or another. Bruce, therefore, may not only be helping to save the JLP in the short term but Jamaica in the long run.
