Dear Editor,
The 21st century working class citizenry throughout Jamaica, who are contributing significantly to their various communities, are now reminding their political representatives across traditional party lines that politics is about representation of the people.
Clearly, the working class social groups are now demanding that their political representatives, whom they pay to do a proper job, represent them to the best of their abilities.
Believe me, the labouring class are now resenting the same-old distribution of scarce benefits and are instead desiring more meaningful development in their communities. As a result, they are more determined and eager for improvement and to have their standard of living upgraded.
It must be understood that the “bucky master system” has gone out of style, though some political representatives still want to exhibit extreme control and power over the working class, who are now more determined than ever to fight for transformation to take place in the wider society.
For far too long the working class has been asked to “ban’ their bellies” while the capitalists, who control the means of production and economic power, continue to protect their own interest. No more.
Today’s working class citizen of our country is more interested in getting political representation that will help to transform and develop their communities.
