Dear Editor,
The People’s National Party (PNP) lost the local government elections on November 28, 2016 because its supporters seek to silently scream the need for a new party president.
Portia Simpson Miller is an excellent politician. She is for the people and I personally commend her in that regard. She is, however, a terrible leader. Her manners, her language, her decorum and her overall way of dealing with situations in this day and age is absolutely unacceptable. Madam party president is nothing short of a ticking time bomb.
We, the party’s supporters, have been through enough embarrassment with her, and my personal opinion is that a resignation is in order. She has done her time. She may remain a party advisor of some sort, but not leader. Deep down we all know it. The gentlemen in the party simple need to “grow a pair” and stand up for the people.
The supporters of Simpson Miller come off, to me, as encouragement for her to embarrass herself. It is okay to be loyal, but enabling downfall is simply sad. I posted these sentiments on the wall of a PNP private group on Facebook and was taken to task. One gentleman did not mince his words in immediately accusing me of being a “J Hell P” supporter and said I had no reasoning abilities.
This is the exact reason others are so afraid to voice their opinions.
If a company fails, its CEO and management team are held accountable. If a team of football players fail, their coach is held accountable. If a student fails, the teacher is held accountable. Why then isn’t Simpson Miller being held accountable for the downfall of the PNP?
There are so many capable and competent leaders within the party. Our party needs our brilliant, open-minded Comrades back in active rolls.
I apologise if I may come off as harsh, but we have allowed this to go on for long enough. Simpson Miller is still incapable of doing some introspection, and if she does she should agree that her time has come.
I have always been a defender of the PNP ask anyone who knows me. I stand firm in support of my party, and I will forever commend and show appreciation for Simpson Miller’s contribution to the party, but enough is enough.
