Dream Team Cabinet for Jamaica from all parties

[papaD]

Pundits/Activists

Something that has been mooted is the possibility of a 'constitutional draw'. If you were the GG who would you place in the different ministries from the parties available to form a truly jamaican national government. If you feel why you want to say why then do so.

I am going to have a go with a few starters from what I see as people suited to the portfolio from observation. I have a cabinet of 14.

PM: Bruce Golding
DPM & Community Development&Sport: Portia Simpson Miller
Finance: Audley Shaw
Foreign Affairs: Peter Philips
Attorney General: Delroy Chuck
National Security: Trevor McMillan (senator)
Health: Dr Ken Baugh
Education/Youth: Hyacinth Bennett (senator)
Agriculture: Derrick Kellier
Communications: Clive Mullings
Tourism: Maxine Henry-Wilson
Commerce: Andrew Gallimore
Transport/Infrastructure/Water: Andrew Holness
Labour/Energy: Dr Horace Chang

What's your government of the talents?

Re: Dream Team Cabinet for Jamaica from all parties

papaD,
Since both parties are responsible for the mess Jamaica is in and since neither party in 47 years has come up with programs or policies that have accomplished much for the common man, what possible benefit could there be in combining people from the two parties to run the country?

The only good I see is that perhaps, just perhaps the Jamaican people would at long last see that there is no diffrence between the two parties ansd they might just as well be one party in name as well as function (or lack of function).

As a youth I always thought there should be a goverment of national unity.... However I have long visted countries without goverments of national unity and I have developed a respect for the need to have a viable oppostion...

I hear you. However, if for a couple of terms Jamaica had a national government - who would your choices be?

A viable opposition would be a very good thing but there is very little difference between what happens to Jamaica under either the JLP or the PNP.
Both support capitalism unequivocally and both support the same corrupt party politics.
They might just as well be the same party with one name. Far less confusing to those who think there is a penny's worth of diffrence between the two.

No coalition Government, they had their chances, too much of it if you ask me, why then should we even entertain any argument about coalition?
