Prais­ing this PNM gov­ern­ment is mad­ness. The PNM po­lit­i­cal par­ty has shown no re­al signs of any change since its for­ma­tion, and that is why we are at a stand­still and the im­age of this na­tion is con­stant­ly be­ing tar­nished. The last four years of po­lit­i­cal pow­er have clear­ly demon­strat­ed many of its fail­ures, par­tic­u­lar­ly in its han­dling of our crime sce­nario.

There is still the lin­ger­ing ram­page of po­lit­i­cal cor­rup­tion, se­ri­ous crimes and wide­spread law­less­ness on this is­land. There is now so much of it, that many cit­i­zens in­clud­ing our politi­cians have be­come im­mune to our dai­ly mur­ders and gen­er­al crime sit­u­a­tion.

It has too now be­come so bad, that the com­mis­sion­er of po­lice is now re­quest­ing ar­moured ve­hi­cles to help fight crime here and pro­tect the po­lice. There is now a con­stant high flow of po­lit­i­cal fail­ures. The most no­tice­able of these is the fail­ure of the gov­ern­ment to do any­thing con­struc­tive or ef­fec­tive to stem the flow of the ram­page of se­ri­ous crimes and law­less­ness here.

The re­peat­ed call by many cit­i­zens here, to re­in­state the death penal­ty has fall­en on deaf ears where our politi­cians are con­cerned. This po­lit­i­cal par­ty by its doc­trine and be­liefs al­so helps to en­cour­age the spread of racism and this is sup­port­ed by the one-sided view and main race of its sup­port­ers.

Any cit­i­zen here prais­ing this po­lit­i­cal par­ty needs his head ex­am­ined. Any sud­den changes or promis­es made now by the politi­cians of the PNM is on­ly be­ing made with the view of the com­ing gen­er­al elec­tion. As for their promis­es made in the past the cit­i­zens here are still wait­ing for them to be im­ple­ment­ed.

The on­ly so­lu­tion to our po­lit­i­cal woes is to form a new po­lit­i­cal par­ty with prin­ci­ples aimed to rid our na­tion of bla­tant racism and im­prove the stan­dards and liv­ing con­di­tions of our or­di­nary cit­i­zens. We must rid our­selves of the PNM po­lit­i­cal par­ty or any oth­er po­lit­i­cal struc­ture where politi­cians put their fi­nan­cial in­ter­est at the top of their pri­or­i­ties and con­stant­ly pull the wool over the eyes of our vul­ner­a­ble cit­i­zens.
