THE EDITOR, Sir:
I THINK that the People's National Party is shooting itself in the legs and will suffer severely from its self-inflicted wounds. They have divided themselves into four groups, the leader of each group vying for leadership of the party.
Will they be able to unite and heal their self-inflicted wounds? I heard one government minister from one group saying some distasteful things about another minister who is leader of another group. He was not firing at the leaders of the other three groups but was aiming directly at the leader of one special group.
SPEECH RECORDED
Don't they both belong to the same party? He must know that his speech has been recorded and that for sometime to come it will be played back to him. If the leader of the group that he said those distasteful things about should be victorious, what would be his fate as a minister?
One of the four leaders will be victorious. Will the other three groups reunite to hold the party together? If that does not happen, the PNP will become a party in shambles and will find itself out in the wilderness longer than the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
The JLP is sitting in its seat watching and laughing at the four contestants battling it out in the ring.
I am, etc.,
