Doma President Gregory Aboud hit the nail on the head recently, declaring at a public forum that our Constitution is broken. In its current form it does not allow for the efficient production and allocation of goods and services for the people. Aboud is of course right in saying so, but how do we fix it to bring about positive change?In this regard, I would like to make a very radical suggestion. Ban all political parties. In our short history, political parties have caused this country to go through much polarising grief while providing few benefits for citizens.
