MICHEL: A RENE CLONE?
In less than 8 days time the people of
A lot has been said about the inability of James Michel to divorce himself from the policies and dictates of the former President Rene. In private Michel is suggesting his desire to break away, if he is given his own mandate. That could not be further from the truth. Mr. Michel has himself publicly confirmed his dilemma by supporting the view, that he is guided by the SPPF leadership in all his actions. In the unlikely event that he is elected, the situation will not change, in that he will still remain accountable to those that assisted him in retaining power. The power behind his throne will remain at the SPPF headquarters.
A clear indication of this is evident, although simply, in the electoral material he has chosen. The bill board photograph of Mr. Michel is an almost identical replica of that used by Mr. Rene, during the last election: the same red shirt, the same green background, the same portrait size and pose, the same fake tan. Which begs the question: is Michel a Rene clone?
SIGNS OF DESPERATION
In the 14 days left there are many of us – the women of the SPPF – those of us who have boyfriends or husbands who do not support SPPF, we must in those 14 days, make them support the SPPF. An SPPF female must not let her husband drag her (to the opposition). She must be stronger than her husband; we must show them that the strength of the SPPF is its women.
