Despite The Drubbing It Received Over Two Cycles The PNP Is Still Clueless

Socialism, as a polit­i­cal con­struct, has been a fail­ure across the Globe, save and except for the Scandinavian region of Europe that prac­tices a kind of pseu­do-social­ism in their almost homoge­nous­ly white societies.
The social­ism that they prac­tice, guar­an­tees every­one a com­fort­able stan­dard of liv­ing, with the under­stand­ing that they pay a much high­er rate of taxation.
Note: the social­ism they prac­tice is not the ide­o­log­i­cal, beret-wear­ing fist thrust­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary style social­ism that the PNP con­tin­ues to offer to the Jamaican people.
It is note­wor­thy, that those soci­eties were already inde­pen­dent­ly wealthy nations, some of which had con­quered parts of Africa and plun­dered its resources. So their soci­eties were already well estab­lished, infra­struc­tural­ly and otherwise.
In Jamaica’s case, the coun­try can hard­ly find resources to pay its work­ers after debt ser­vic­ing, much less to put in place last­ing infrastructure.

Speaking about the dam­age done to the roads as a result of trop­i­cal storm Zeta, Prime Minister Holness told Parliament on Tuesday night that the funds being real­lo­cat­ed to repair road­ways are not addi­tion­al fund­ing “as we have already gone through the sec­ond sup­ple­men­tary esti­mates and, there­fore, there is no addi­tion­al fund­ing for the government’s response.
This is now about each min­istry, each min­is­ter, each per­ma­nent sec­re­tary, going through their bud­get, line item by line item, to see what it is that we can real­lo­cate, and this will be super­vised by the Ministry of Finance,” Holness told legislators.

The drub­bing the PNP suf­fered at the polls over the last two elec­tion cycles, along with the loss­es they sus­tained in the by-elec­tions, would be a wake-up call to a seri­ous polit­i­cal par­ty that under­stands polling data and trends.
Unfortunately, the par­ty fails to see that the younger gen­er­a­tion is more inter­est­ed in a mar­ket econ­o­my that allows them to shine on their own.
Young peo­ple see how oth­er mil­len­ni­als and gen­er­a­tion Xers are liv­ing in oth­er coun­tries and they want that lifestyle.….…
They do not want a polit­i­cal par­ty that is offer­ing them free­bies that they know it can­not deliv­er anyway.

Jamaicans do not want Socialism/​Communism, China, Russia, and most of the Eastern European nations that had sub­scribed to that polit­i­cal ide­ol­o­gy have moved their economies away from that failed con­struct since the fall of the Soviet Union.
It is shock­ing that in 2020 almost three decades since Michael Manley took Jamaica down the rab­bit hole of Democratic Socialism, that these washed up idiots are still expect­ing Jamaicans to vote for them and their failed ide­ol­o­gy that peo­ple all around the world have long eschew, except for China, Cuba, North Korea, and Belarus to a cer­tain extent.
