[evanovitch]

get his own mandate from the election...has he? N is that mandate that he is not the leader wanted r needed n in that context, should he stp down? Will he be the first in JA politics to do the honorable thing? Who could replace him n is the absence of a replacement reason that he will continue the JA tradition of party leader for life once voted in?

That pretty much sums it up. Golding, not Holness lost the election.

Did he say he would step down if he did not win?
Why would it be dis-honourable to remain as Opposition Leader simply because ha lost an election?
I don't think he should. The Party paid a price for bad governance and poor Campaigning. The price has already been paid with this loss. I think it should be on to greater things. One thing for sure, if he is going to come with all that God business the next time he tries, then he might as well go now!

Holness does not have the charisma of Michael Manley, nor is he as eloquent as Bruce Golding - I watched him being interviewed by Dionne Jackson Miller and seriously wondered if he was ready for the job of PM. I don't see him as being a strong opposition leader who can be an attack dog against the opposition when warranted either. Him just too nice in a churchy kind a way. But he should remain as JLP leader. Maybe he can polish him skills and get some swag cuz him need fire in him belly to handle the PNP or or they will be in power for another 18 year stretch.

Well they isn't going to be much attacking going on. The Comrade Media and So-called Civil Society will not allow it.
Phrases such as:
<span style="font-weight: bold">Tearing Down Jamaica </span>
We should all come together
<span style="font-weight: bold">The Elections are over</span>
All JLP do is Oppose, Oppose, Oppose
<span style="font-weight: bold">Let get rid of the Old Style Politics practice by the JLP and Mr. Seaga</span>


.....will now be forward in vogue!

i think whatever potential he may have as PM will be uncovered and developed as leader of the opposition.

seriously, though, i hope he can prevail within his own party. for some reason, i think there might still be some bad-mind jlp-ers who will try to sabotage him, the one-dem who never support him for leadership.
