Dear Editor,
No one can deny that today the People’s National Party (PNP) cannot be considered anything but a capitalist party, just like the Jamaica Labour Party, although it continues to label itself as a socialist party and some are even calling for it to return to its core values — not even accepting that the Soviet Union that led socialism no longer exists and our friend and neighbour Cuba, a child of the Soviet Union, has just been invaded and that well-intentioned Fidel Castro, with whom Michael Manley said he would walk to the mountaintop, is essentially in hiding.
In substance, none of our political parties, in recent years, has been practising socialism, but what is best for our people is that only those of the highest calibre, factoring in particular honesty and integrity, are to be in public administration, that is the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. And sanctions a must in respect of each.
