I respect the view of those who feel it is a blow to our democracy to have the Leader of the Opposition suspended from the House. However, may I remind those who are wringing their hands in anguish that Mr Basdeo Panday was suspended for using a laptop computer in the House. Our democracy did not collapse then and it will not collapse now due to Mr Rowley's suspension.
Hopefully his suspension will give him time to reflect on the gravity of accusing a sitting Prime Minister and Attorney General of plotting murder based on what seems to be the most flimsy of evidence.
