While he appears sincere and charismatic at times, his stint as UBP leader not long ago was a nightmare. Perhaps like you said, he'd have gained more respect if he had left the UBP earlier (or indeed, months ago after his 'threat to leave').<BR/><BR/>Could it be that many of the politicians who are disgruntled and upset at the current state of things are simply unwilling to take the risk at being in political exile for the potential at doing greater good down the road?Tryanglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505340710195129202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236224.post-69643354023916877972008-12-11T10:29:00.000-04:002008-12-11T10:29:00.000-04:00Such a union would need a strong and charismatic l...Such a union would need a strong and charismatic leader to give it any credibility as both of these individuals have done much to decrease their own.<BR/><BR/>The time for Mr. Furbert to have resigned with a strong position for creating a new party was as soon as Mr. Brunson resigned. It would have opened the door for a real challenge to split the vote and would have pulled PLP who want to topple the UBP in on it for support. It was the opportunity to challenge the UBP and potentially pull in enough MPs to take the position of official opposition. The problem is he let this golden opportunity slide rather than stepping forward to lead and has now found himself upon the rocks having taken too long to decide whether he'd fish or cut bait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
