Who’s your pick for JLP Party Leader/Prime Minister?
September 28th, 2011
Since Prime Minister Bruce Golding announced recently that he will not seek re-election and will stand down as Prime Minister as soon as a new leader has been elected, everyone has been voicing their opinions on the subject of who should be put in his place.
Let’s see, so far I have heard names such as Andrew Holness, Dr Christopher Tufton, Audley Shaw, Dr Ken Baugh and quite a few more. Several persons have been arguing about how well suited one person is compared to the next. Some have indicated that Jamaica needs someone young, while others have insisted that a more experienced individual would be the ideal candidate.
What is your opinion? Who’s your pick for JLP Party Leader/Prime Minister? It’s time again to have your say…

I think Andrew Holness is fit to handle the running of Jamaica politics, including crime and corruption.
Well now now, I wonder if Washington
did give orders for regime change? but
base on wikileaks report Sis P is not
one they would want leading JA, of
course only time will tell what Dudus
saga played in the mix, Holness must
banish some of his corrupted g=======s
take note Japan PM (ex) just got 7 yrs
JA follow-fashion why not following
them with the FINSAC & Manatt players
booked in Horizon while we hire foreigners
to be the guards
Comment on the topic – please. Nobody cares if Washington wanted the change, who is more suitable. I “preferred” Tufton for the post. He comes to the party with concrete, credible and unquestionable achievements in Agriculture – a sector that has been battered and ailing from the indiscretions of the previous administration. One can be led to believe that the moves made then were counter-productive and in an the interests of a few. He has brought Agri back on a path to more tangible gains and maybe a driving force in our economic development aspirations – something Tourism will never do despite the fallacy pursued by many administrations before. Tourism stands to benefit only a few whereas Agriculture benefits the country. Holness isn’t too bad either, he too has had OK achievements in another sector that benefits us all, but those I believe are incomparable to those of Agri, Let’s hope that he (Tufton) is held as deputy to Mr. Holness, because the two seem to be the squeaky-clean image that Jamaica needs at this time. If thats the set-up, let’s say there is hope for recovery.
Andrew is definitely the man, the problem is that Mike Henry is still there Mr. Charles,Desmond Mckenzie,and a lot more needed to go…..like 10 years ago.
The actions of Bruce Golding is as usual careless and wreckless.As the PM and leader of the party his actions with reguards to Mr. Holness, endorsing and taking him on a trip to the IMF are wrong. It would leave others even thinking of the post of leader questioning themselves, and scared to enter the race.
If he Bruce was on the outside trying to get to the post and his leader stepped down and acted the way he is doing now he would be very vocal on such actions.
The latest actions only proves that Mr. Bruce Golding needs to go to Management Classes. He has shown that without doubt he is not a leader or at least a good one and that he refuses to learn from his mistakes. Mr. Bruce should be punished for his actions, I now wonder how much of a positive role he can play.
I’m also wondering about the law suite which Mr. Vaz promised in relation to a news item from an American news network, without a retraction or a liable suite I have no choice but to believe the statement made against Mr. Golding
The best man for the job is not there anymore…he is no other than the great Ronald Robinson, who resigned during the Manatt enquiry.
We got no chance to pick. They picked for us. I guess that’s the New Democratic Movement (NDM)
I would feel a sense of relief if Bruce Golding had resigned as atonement for the death of 73 young people Tivoli. For someone will have to pay.
Fine 1 submit. Basic difficulty is usually G. change their thoughts too repeatedly.
