THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY

THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY  IN JAMAICA UNDERSCORES THE NEED FOR A CENTER-LEFT GOVERNMENT (OBAMA DOCTRINE)

THERE WERE OVER FIVE (5,000) THOUSAND SIGNATURES ON A PETITION TO STOP THE SALE OF ROARING RIVER WATER SHED YET THE GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICAN IGNORED THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE.

Pluralism is at the heart of every functioning democracy. No society can say it is truly democratic when in a supposedly open and free society the active oppositions have not made their voice heard forcefully enough to effect changes that will improve the lives of the citizenry. No government can claim legitimacy over good governance and the rules of law when the very fabric of society which serves to protect and maintain these fundamental principles are rapidly being eroded through their lack of leadership in the ever increasing gap between the rich and the poor.
