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.



Sis HR: It would be so easy for me to dig up the the praises that Mark Wignall has heaped on BG in the past, but why bother? Mark Wignall has exhibited a penchant for fabricating his own stories and is totally unable to provide any useful objectivity to his columns without creating conflict when there is none. He has spent the better half of his pen ink thrashing Bruce and behaving like a spoilt child shifting from the Seaga bashing to the BG arena. Without creating conflict, MW is unable to write and as such he is a prime example of how the media can distort facts.

So what if Bruce behaved like a goodie two shoe? If such is the image, I commend BG for not offending anyone after weeks fo strife and conflict in the party. It is a breath of fresh air to the sense of divisiveness we just witnessed a couple weeks ago after the James Robertson saga. It seems to me that Mark Wignall is prepared to satisfy is own sense of rationalizing just to pen a column.

Just to prove how devoid of reasoning he is, he has based his conclusions about BG from a mere television appearance and after only a few weeks in the chairmanship post. He has suddenly arrived at the conclusion that BG is no good after years of public adoration from MW himself. I can only conclude that MW exhibits a true form of bi-polar syndrome. I find it hard to believe that the JO pays him a salary for writing that should be confined to a personal diary rather than an estabilished newspaper. Perhaps there is some charitable trust established for paying him for his articles, which in truth and infact are indicative of a form of personal therapy. He is a sick soul and until, he quits with his sentationailst "inside edition of the JLP politicians", he should plant his ass on a barbed wire fence!
