Fonseca or Barrow...PUP or UDP etc

In a little more than a month our precious jewel will be lead by a new slate of people. These will come from our very own and will thus be a microcosm of our society. Questionable polls have poised the elections as being too close to call. The history of 1998 and 2008 is that there was no need for a poll...except for the main one giving credibility to the suspicion that the incumbent government would be voted out.

Nevertheless, for those that are floating out there and that are indecisive the decision is there to be made now...or in 30 plus days.

Will Dean Barrow get your support or Francis Fonseca?

I can tell you a few things that I would like to know.

I would like to see the list of people that do not have to pay back money to Social Security. It may have been fluttered at the National Assembly but I would like it to be newspapered. If it is SO SO much of goodness and good news for the nation then let us see it....please.

I would like to know WHO owns Health Care Partners. This little institution helped the last government to be voted in. Yet, the owners are illusive. The same can be said for Heritage bank...can hardly remember the last name...Alliance.

I believe that I am not asking for much. PM Barrow has lead on that he is a man that deals with transparency so it would be an easy deal to offer.

"Bombastic use of terminological inexactitudes"....this is a quote once used by Barrow about Musa and it resounds in my mind. In my last blog post I spoke about Dean Barrow misleading the people and offering lies so many times. The difference is that he never did say that he lied. Also, no journalist had the intestinal fortitude to ask him like Musa was asked once in Dangriga.(do you lie?..easy)

Let's get this straight.... Administrations canNOT tell us EVERYTHING. It would not be in the interest of us all. Even if they want to tell us everything it is impossible.

With that set out.... It does not give any administration the right to mislead, take, and become corrupt. The PUP dabbled into that realm and paid dearly for it at the polls. The UDP has also soiled themselves with becoming corrupt albeit in a short 4 years.

Let us MOVE forward....

Let us NOT vote in the PUP because of what the UDP did. Let us stop the cycle now.

Let us listen intelligently to what is being said. Let us not take any money for a promise of a vote(take 'help' and done). Then decide on who you want to vote for because of the content of their character. Belize needs that. Any landslide decision means that a party along with lousy candidates would have been voted in.

Sorry Barrow....you are the incumbent and that does put the onus on you to promise beyond what you already have had the chance to DO and did NOT do. A Barrow miscalculation is that the usual PUP voters that swung to the UDP to castigate the PUP in 2008 are not happy with being ignored. Barrow helped himself and his UDP people well but what about all those that helped elect him...what about other Belizeans.

Fonseca, you need to distance yourself deliberately from the doings of Said and Ralph. You do have the upper hand in that the people of Freetown voted you in as their representative at the last elections when the PUP was being swept out. The new PUP plan needs to be devoid of unbelievable promises but yet FULL OF HOPE.

In the end of it all, do we trust Barrow with another "five" years and will all the PUP voters that voted UDP in the last elections vote PUP once again? Let the floating end!
