“Pindling slams PLP – ‘Party broken, weak, arrogant and dishonest” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) allowed the political ambitions of a few men to ‘dash the political aspirations of a whole people’ and the party became ‘overcome with envy, consumed with jealousy and stung with greed’, Monique Pindling charged last night.

Pindling is the youngest child of the late former Prime Minister Sir Lynden and Governor General Dame Marguerite Pindling.

Speaking to a room of PLP’s during the party’s first night of convention, Pindling, who was the keynote speaker, said the PLP is ‘broken, weak, arrogant and dishonest’.

She charged that while the party can rebuild and rise again, it must acknowledge its faults and correct them.”

I know they were not expecting this.

This commentary by Monique Pindling brings me back to the point behind my post yesterday. “The Interpretation of the Message”, wherein I questioned the interim leader of the Progressive Liberal Party’s (PLP), Philip ‘Brave’ Davis’, statement that his party had heard the message sent by the people on May 10^th but wherein it seems that he really seemed to be misinterpreting the message. In Ms. Pindling’s speech she spoke to the disconnect that the Progressive Liberal Party had with the people and how this led to their worst political defeat in history and in my opinion she is totally correct in her assessment of what led to the election lost.

It is interesting to hear Monique Pindling speak politically, because she rarely spoke in the political arena, so when she calls for “new vibrant leadership” within the Progressive Liberal Party, could this be an endorsement of someone else beside Philip ‘Brave’ Davis for leader of that party or is she just speaking to the path that the new leader, whomever this may be, must take?

It will be interesting to see how the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) responds to the remarks of Monique Pindling, as they will undoubtedly be very cautious as to manner in which they may ‘attack’ her, as I have already heard some rumblings of her acting as if the PLP is a legacy of her father although throughout her speech she continuously referred to the Progressive Liberal Party as ‘our party’, but even as they mount their attack the question will stand; has anything that she has said erroneous in  anyway?
