Infighting is not the way

Dear Editor,

Since Audley Shaw made it public that he had aspirations to challenge for JLP leadership, those who have come out batting for Andrew Holness do not seem to champion a united cause. This time, Tom Tavares-Finson has reportedly said that any JLP Senator who does not want Holness as leader should step aside.

Such utterances make you wonder whether these people know Mr Holness's platform. There is no way a so-called transformational leader like Mr Holness could support such madness. Every leader who bats for transformation, like Barack Obama, knows that you keep your enemies close. Just look at some of his close appointments.

Come on, Mr Tavares-Finson, there is no way you could support Andrew Holness and his policies and not understand that the days of polarised politics are behind us. Unless you are actually putting forward those beliefs that Mr Holness is afraid to utter himself. Maybe you are telling us that Mr Holness is saying anyone who does not support him must step aside.

One thing is clear, the messages coming out of Mr Holness's camp are not in unison, and reflect a kind of thuggery that we should firmly reject.
