Time for Portia vs Bruce debate

I submit that the debate between the Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller and the leader of the Opposition Bruce Golding is imperative. This must not be one of rhetoric grandstanding or the continuation of issuing bogus promissory notes to the people. It must encompass depth, width, length and height to expose what are presented on the table.

If such a debate produces more grandstanding instead of substance, this would woefully short-change the electorate and mock the democratic process. Such an event must be communicated in simple layman’s language. The debate would engender and strengthen the knowledge base, an of course, knowledge is empowerment. What must be factored in the equation of the debate is that mostly we are an oral society — we do far less reading.

One should not subscribe to the apologists, the party fanatics or the genetically connected whose views are that the debate cannot put bread and butter on the table. This notion is the product of the infertile and bankrupt minds. Also, the supporters of the status of quo may want to see the ‘same difference’ rather than a paradigm shift and an application of dynamic ideas. Their minds are imprisoned inside the box.

It would be remiss not to mention the recent ‘Taking responsibility’ discourse on the Jamaican economy. This is laudable from the academic perspective, albeit questionable on certain analysis of the economy. It’s good that the intellectual have their say. However, Kingston is not Jamaica and it there should be efforts to reach out to the parish capitals.

Portia rarely goes to Parliament.
I am ready for the debates, I never cared for them before, but this is a new dispensation.

honestly, i wish it were someone else besides bruce who led the JLP. he's from the same era as portia, don't? it would be good to have a potential PM from a newer generation.

So because they are from the same 'era' mean they should think alike?
How bout the same race being alike?...........sound familiar???
Why can't we get to the point where people are judged as individuals??
Or I hould say,when are we going to judge people as indivioduals?
Doesen't every single leader like Gahndi,garvey, king, Kennedy, etc, behave superior to their peers?
what is the difference here?
Are we to accept that there are some geneartions of people who are condemn to inferior actions,by the mere fact that they are a product of that period??
