PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING THAT ONE MUST NOT CRITICISE THE OPPOSITION LEADER OF THE GOVT OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
They conflate her role as political leader and opposition leader and by doing so - in my opinion - create a false flag narrative that people are disrespecting her or don't like her, and go on the attack, often with vitriol vengeance to anyone who dares to point out flaws in her leadership.
A favorite line that they like to use is: "the UNC doesn't criticise their leader; they all step in line no matter what."
Is this what people really want For Our Country? For our Party?
For it to be turned in at cult of personality, with leaders who are so think skinned that they cannot handle being told the truth?
One in which a difference of opinion is regarded as disloyalty? And speaking of loyalty.. Is it that we must have blind loyalty to leadership and party even about clear incompetence, weak leadership, absences, and often utter silence in the face of the onslaught of havoc, disrespect, racism, and lack of good governance the current regime is wreaking on our nation?
Are they asking us to put party before country, be mum, sit down and shut up fold our arms and put our finger on our lips like kindergarten children...?
My message to those folks who would have us silent and acquiesent is this:
LEADERSHIP IS COMMANDED, NOT DEMANDED.
Below is an example of discussions, that underscores just how far gone some people are in their sychophancy, inability to speak truth to power, and a clear need to defend the indefensible. Lord help us.

Thank you.....if she weak, then beat she in an internal election. I support whomever is the leader of the PNM
In an election system that was skewed?? WHO with integrity or simple common sense would get involved in that?
UNC supporter loyalty should be studied.
Kamla could burn down the country- THEY THERE.
Ministers and MPs could get criminal charges and line up in court like roll call- THEY THERE.
Over 50,000 fired in eight months- THEY THERE, jobless, struggling, still defending
They could tax air, sunlight, and suffering — THEY THERE, crying all the way to line up to pay.
Barry lace front could unstick mid-speech- THEY THERE, with super glue too.
They could disrespect Black people publicly and call it “politics” — THEY THERE, defending their tone, and not the racialism.
Cost of living sky-high, wages stagnant, people suffocating — THEY THERE defending.
Promises broken, timelines vanish, accountability missing- THEY THERE shouting, “PNM worse”
Michelle could get boos- THEY THERE, saying is love ups
They can't stand Phillip- but THEY THERE, knowing he has one purpose only.
Sturge could eat out all Massy Pastry- THEY THERE, wiping crumbs.
Alexander could blow in a dirty plastic bags every Monday morning- THEY THERE, holding the bag.
Michelle could get boo going and coming- THEY THERE saying is love.
A UNC Councillor could cuss she own party online because her brother get wrongfully locked up under their SOE — THEY THERE shouting, “stay loyal”.
Receipts loud, facts louder — THEY THERE, covering their ears and eyes.
UNC could fight UNC like WWE- THEY THERE, quietly picking sides, but NEVER leaving.
She said sunlight go kill COVID- THEY WERE THERE ignoring restrictions, some were even dying, but THEY WERE THERE, oxygen pump and all.
LifeSport $400M unaccounted— THEY WERE THERE
Section 34 — THEY WERE THERE
$6M to remove a fire truck — THEY WERE THERE
$7M for hellicopter gas— THEY WERE THERE
NGC $16 BILLION unaccounted — THEY WERE THERE
$500M cotton notes missing — THEY WERE THERE
$87M for a prison fence — THEY WERE THERE
$330M to construct a SOE prison in an old warehouse — THEY WERE THERE
$15M for a trip to India — THEY WERE THERE
UNC supporters don’t ask questions.
They ask who to defend.
THEY BEHAVE LIKE A CULT.
No shame.
No memory.
Even when their party wrong, THEY THERE, bleeding and burning under the rising sun.
Disclaimer: this post isn't about UNC loyalty.
The PNM is not just a party, it is an institution that built this nation and continues to shape it. Persons reducing the PNM to whether they like or prefer the current leader or not, is shallow and dangerous thinking.
My grandmother taught me something simple and important: you are free to support whoever you want during party elections, whether is party group, constituency, internals, all of it. But once the people choose, once a leader or executive is elected, you put all that support behind them for the greater good of the party. That is discipline. That is maturity. That is nation-building.
It is deeply disappointing that some are willing to withhold their support simply because the leader is not their preferred choice. That mindset weakens democracy, not strengthens it.
Even more alarming is seeing some women attempting to discredit the efforts of a female political leader instead of strengthening her. The men who cannot accept female leaders—openly or in disguise—are also part of the problem. We must understand that Leadership is bigger than ego, preference, or personality.
The PNM has always been about structure, legacy, and responsibility — not emotional politics or sulking and blaming in opposition. If we forget that, then the failure isn’t leadership… it’s us. I support the Political Leader of the People's National Movement- Penny Beckles , as I have supported every single leader before her.
Sincerely a born and bred PNM woman.
Her political weakness as OL is glaring. Mr. Eversley the position of PL is a party issue for PNM Members.
The focus is on the OL who is the OL for ALL of T&T not just PNM people and that is the issue.
Allyuh want to talk about Stuart Young not contesting the position in a internal PNM elections that was riddled in confusion and lack of proper oversight, do you remember that the Deputy Elections Officer resigned and some candidates writing to the Election Committee about their concerns?.
However, why allyuh doh also talk about MP Beckles being a part of dishonesty where only 6 MP's along with herself caucus and choose her as OL without the voices of the other 6 winning MP's?
Barry Garcia, my dear!! Take a look here.
In my view.
Like Dr. Williams who was selected by the PNM Great Thinkers of the party that he made into a movement that World Leaders marvels admire and some envy. So will Madam Penny now Opposition leader.
Again In my view, she’s the perfect fit of a Statesman. Something The Republic of Trinidad And Tobago haven’t seen or had in years 
Y'all now seeing Rowley vision in these comments..
To go up against this Government ,we need someone to have them on their toes. Sorry, to say, i believe Stwart is the better person. Sometimes I does wonder if we even have an Opposition .The rate they going, like they planning to stay in Opposition for a long time.
Great woman classy, has integrity but it takes more than that to be a leader.

One person may not have all but choose the one who has the most. Do not choose who is there the longest. Some janitors work in schools for 60 yrs yet could never qualify to be a teacher or principal. I use this analogy to make people understand but in no way does the analogy equal to this situation.
You and all know she ain't ready yet worse yet korem Marcel 
Well organised succession planning is key to continued growth of any corporation ...Stuart Young since his entrance to the political arena ....has proven himself a very capable candidate to take the helm of the PNM ..Dr Rowley, the astute leader he was, saw his potential, and began to personally mentor him...we saw Mr. Young make many breakthroughs, especially in the energy sector... his negotiation and problem-solving skills were second to none, he is solutions oriented ... and really became a shoe in to become the next leader ... Chinese or not..proving that they were the national party, they always claimed to be .... I agree the process of transition could have been more transparent, and calling the snap election wasnt the right choice, but those are topics for another discussion .. however, I understand now why Dr. Rowley chose to do it that way .. he knew of the nefarious agendas of others within the PNM fold, and tried to get pass them... he probably didn't think that they would have stooped so low .. that they would engineer the party to deliver the general election to these dUNCe despotic demons ...Just to undermine Mr. Young's installation as caretaker Prime Minister, who even in experiencing that piece of mayhemic madness, still maintains the poise and decorum of the true statesman that he is. Penelope Beckles is a very likeable person ...but she is way out of her depth in this dispensation of governance, that we are now experiencing .. her leadership is too weak to stand up to this chaos we are going through, her powder puff responses, are not going to achieve anything .. the articulation and mindset of Stuart Young is what is needed to move the PNM forward against the vitriol that is the kamliar kakistocratic kleptocracy (KKK) (perfect description by Kezel Jackson) aka dUNCe government ... answer me this why would they show open support for Penny ...is it because they are interested in the success of the PNM? No...because they can ride rough shod over her all day... PNM need to come together as the mature party it is supposed to be ..in the face of the catastrophic challenges that now face our beloved twin island state ..and allow Mr. Young to continue the role he was created to do. .or we may not have a country to run in 2030 ...my personal opinion.
We've been saying it ,Mr young is the man for the job but apparently their is some fighting was going on in the pnm and Mr young didn't bother to go up ..I do understand why because the pnm not suppose to be fighting each other so I understand why ...In all reality Mr young is the man they need to put there ,I don't have anything against miss beckles but I honestly don't support her as being the OP an anyone vex with my opinion take it to the lord in prayer ...
That’s What I was saying
The people who criticizing our opposition leader, are hateful and wants to destroyed PNM.but all the other parties are confusion, mayhem and bacchanal,
Penny is a good waste of time
Why allyuh did not challenge her for the position of political leader. Allyuh know why Stuart Young did not run for the position. PNM ppl like to put de party business in public so everybody could pass de mouth on de party. Allyuh see that no matter what happen in UNC de support de leader. In PNM de quick to cuss de PL and put de party business out on de street
Humble and loving and knows how to work with the ground people
We will never know if Penny is weak or not as a leader because from all appearances, she is not the de facto leader. The state of the PNM is not Penny's fault; it's as a consequence of the political culture and value-system of the PNM.
Nobody has to nominate anyone, persons were free to throw their hat in the ring. The general council members would have bet on any horse they choose but I guess,, well let me not say that,, I gone....
If she remains there 10 years easy for the other party , just saying
She is a long standing experienced member of the party and it was felt by some that she should be given a chance to be OL & PL of the party.
If I inherit a fart property it does not mean I'm a bad property owner ...it just still means the value of the property is still fart.
Good question Mr Eversley Mrs Beckles is not Boisterous so one might say she is weak as a Leader,my opinion don't matter, but she can Work together with Mr Young .
Who wants to lead a ded party???
has anyone seen anything from the Leadership concerning the most recent verbal insult to Persons of African descent, displayed in tobago by the pm ........am curious .................
Because they wanted a blackface!
smh ........some just too inept to realize how inetpt you all are ............
SIMPLE...THEY DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS WEEK....UNTIL SHE WAS IN THE POST
AND ROWLEY TOO STRONG 
We want a highly educated and articulate person like Dominic Romain and Stuart Young as leaders
Leader for stick fighting.......

She is going to be a great pm.
She's a waste of time pnm not winning no election with her

i am a Young supporter, however, whoever is the leader of the party has my total support.
You are right my friend she will make a great leader
WOMAN PUTS HOUSE INNER ORDER
NOT MAN
DE QUEEN
Perhaps if she did take over from Dr Rowley pnm would of been in power still
She is weak…very!
I said so from the beginning I like Penny but that position is for Stuart Young 
PENNY IS THE RIGHTFUL LEADER, iF Kamla could be PM anybody could be leader
I agree
Rowley never wanted her, as though he was the only person to make that decision. He achieved what he wanted when he placed SY under his wings and carried him to every official meeting. Giving him acting PM on numerous occasions. Imbert only got a couple so it would look like he wasn't bias. He made the Public like young and got comfortable that they wouldn't see anyone else fit for the job.
With that being said, he knew that he wanted to retire, but instead of doing that in the year for internal elections, he delayed it, so that he could pull off the game he played. Ensuring who he wanted, to get the position of OL and by extension PM.
So who really caused all the confusion? Whether SY was the right man for the job or not, this was unethical, morally wrong and vindictive of Rowley to cast aside everyone else without giving them a fear chance to be chosen by the membership and by extension the country.
All of ah sudden the PNM seems to love being in opposition, well go right ahead.
To much of one thing is good for nothing
Leadership has two parts:
People must believe you can do the job
And you must believe you can do the job too
I think only the latter is present here
Well said
SO TRUE
Prime Minister in waiting
Crab in a barrel
If Penny Beckles is weak as a leader convinced me? Don't say she's unless it was proven that she is.
I did!!!
She most definitely is a very nice person, I dont see her as a very effective and dynamic leader.
She is weak
She’s the one Penny Beckles
They wanted that
Wendell Eversley i love this question. And I wish we could get Penny and Stuart to work together !!!
Hey guys look like you all miss the boat.
She hasClass and integrity.
She is just right cool and educated and she would not lie to the people
She is a calm lady trying her best to do right in GOD'S SIGHT DAILY.
Top fan
Because they were of the opinion that she was a strong leader. They were duped.
Because she doesn't get on like a wajang and scream and carry that's why they calling her weak
she is not a weak person they dropped the baton and to focus on role she has to get the baton
She is weak. Stuart Young is a better leader.
General Council, when is the next PNM Convention when the different positions in the party are contested ? Then the members of the party would have their say.
The current climate reflects the views of many..to me its good that people are expressing their views Penny Beckles as the leader will now have to listen with positive intentions - to be humble use discernment and wisdom. Her journey as the leader in these times requires great strength.
Young is the best man if you playing Old politics however new politics is equal to new Party with intelligent Youth at the helm so its not Pnm and from the outlook on things it's not Unc either but time will tell
I agree I love Mrs Penny but in my opinion Mr young will do the job to put us back in government. MY VIEW.
Well said guys. Love you Penny and Stuarty you can work together and foster unity.
I don't know much of her capabilities nah but I strongly believe those vultures on the Government bench WILL eat her up.. my opinion
Hey heye
She is a Great leader
She is strong
I love her Penny you will do what is right for the people 
you will be great 
Not a weak ...just humble
Agreed
Their are lots of ppl pushing different agendas so you will always hear different views ....my question is if there is one PNM why everyone don't bind together to support and strengthen our leader instead of criticizing........I love my political leader
I love Penny, but I think Stuart Young was the best man to lead the party
Nice person, extremely week leader.
Quietness is not a sign of weakness and who else is there that has that aggression that people want if they did not have it for Mr Rowley back then would they have it now
Perfectly well articulated!
“With respect, I don’t agree that Ms. Bethel is weak. She has shown resilience, experience, and steady leadership over time. Mr. Young is also a strong leader in his own right, but in my view, he doesn’t yet bring the same level of seniority and institutional experience that Ms. Bethel brings to the table. Leadership isn’t about noise—it’s about consistency, service, and standing firm when it counts.”
She is not a weak leader. What she inherited is the problem. She needs to surround herself with better advisors.
We cannot plz us if they had won she is a good leader but because the people choose differently she is a weak leader .when Dr Rowley was there they did not like him either stiff neck is we self.
Y Rowley didnt want her
there seems to be opposition within opposition as no demonstrated cohesiveness exists. you see cliques operating eg when last you saw entire opposition together
No even a member and know who is the right person
She will not wants to give up now she believes she can make a difference no matter how long it takes .remembered no one pressure Kamala to move after loosing 100 election even some asked her to stepped aside . So say what
Dey want a leggo beast but being a lady it’s difficult for some to understand
The sad thing is NOT ONE UNC BASH THEIR LEADER..They support her through hefty fines and job loss, they lap every word she says…..
Why didn’t Dr. Rowley allow a due process when he was there?Why did he attempt to force someone on party members?The PNM in my opinion is a party of discipline (sometimes too much), Penny is not loud, who says all leaders need the same characteristics?
When Dr. Rowley was there, some of you same commentators here were begging for him to depart and wanted PENNY..
This is one of PNM’s biggest failures, we can NEVER rally/uplift support our elected representatives. We always bash and undermine…
We saying the same thing about Kamla too!
What has happened is that the PNM let UNC bait them that Rowley put a non African to run the party and end up in a Chinee hating nonsense when African at the bottom of every heap whomever in charge.
PNM need to act quickly since local government UNC already campaigning and sensing momentum.
How many ejections the present PM lost consecutively as leader of her party and the others she takes up along the way ?
She is good Leader....she's ppl ppl ...always on the ground meeting ppl needs....
She has a role to play for now.
Let meh help yuh....
When pnm lost in 2025... 26/13/2... they ended up with 13...you can only choose from what's available ...
From the 13 6 voted for her 6 against ...
Even after defeat they cannot unite ... A house divided amongst itself will fall ..
The irony is because of a unc victory penny finally got to smell leadership after the party was destroyed by Keith and Zammie ... Penny was left in the wilderness(she stated that) for yrs and has returned bewildered ...
26/13/2
15/0
She's very weak
Penny came at a bad time but she is the correct person .
I know her personally and she has class
The salary very attractive. More than the person in question.
She did admit there's lots of ground work to be done, instead of criticizing her start the ground work yesterday.
She will be the next Mp by god grace
She is the right person to get the job done.
Passive is not weak
What is meant by weak PL please define cause what are we saying Kamla strong??
NOT A DAMN SEAT FOR THEM. N IS FOR NO. TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE.
Now tell me, is that the face of how the next prime minister should look? The PNM need to be remodeled,rebrand themselves with fresh blood, new faces, new brains that can think with the times and future we living in today if they is to have a chance down the road. The PNM today is dead and spineless, sorry to say but that’s how I see, others would differ. And that face up there is a face for radio.
Sge didnt get that position because she's a strong leader .
She got it because they wanted a pushover when they decide to remove her
Marvin Gonzales is the only person to transition this party
In the future may be.
That pnm party need a strong leader Stuart Young
She was the best they had but not good to be an opposition
I recommend fitzy
%
...
It many others but she is experiencing we don't know wat we getting
Weak maybe, but having a HEART for people is GOOD.. she is a caring person and will not allow people, to suffer like we SUFFERING NOW….
Wendell Eversley probably they didn't know she was weak until she was in the position to prove her worth...don't you think so?
Ppl can say what they want Mr. Wendell Eversley that's my leader .
COPIED:
UNC supporter loyalty should be studied.
THEY'RE THERE!
MOWSIE could burn down the country - THEY'RE THERE! 
I swear she mix Gobar in something and give them.
PooPnannYLoPee
It seems she bypassed the process by getting MPs who won their seats, to sign 'ah paper' saying they supported her as political leader and that was 'given' to media ppl. It seems there was supposed to be secret ballot voting but that did not happen - it is not a secret as all this was in print media, and selected former union boss as deputy.
I find so Evey one sit an said Notting
Who else would they put as the leader of the dead pnm
She's brilliant at her job rebuilding the pnm takes heart and heartbreaking but she'll get there first build back the trust of the people that Rowley look down on the people are still vex with pnm but the god ı serve will bring her and the pnm back to the top a n with saying that let me say the devil is aliar in jesus name 
I don't feel she have what it takes to lead the transformation of the PNM
Because she was never a leader for them to know that she was a weak leader.
Mr. Eversley Penny Beckles is clearly not the person for the job at this time we all know who should be leading the party if we are to gain any sort of ground going forward
Penny Beckles is right on time
And is y'all who stay home and vote or come out and vote for the yellow code but now all yuh have all the answers who should and shouldn't be leading the PNM. That's why Tobago has maljo now. PNM people stop sleeping and drooling. Kamla still dey.
Smh alyuh could fight people down yes
I don't want to wash my laundry in public.
Nuf a love for you PENNY
Thank you very much to the PNM DR ERIC Williams fight for all of us to be Educated but the truth must be in the public domain most people never had access to a history book by the name little folks Trinidad party have Notting to do with this
Give her the encouragement
You need to honest mr eversly ,nice lady .but lacking leadership qualities.
Quietness doesn't mean you are weak
If pple were following closely the events that followed after the PNM lost the election it would be easy to see why pple chose to go with the flow and jus follow what happened after
Brother youre on point and this same indecisive behavior is one of the things is what have the PNM in the position they are today. So if they are not even sure of themselves how can they be sure she's not the one to take the party forward. First they had Mr Rowley they say he too aggressive. OK they give them Stuart who was a little more palatable than his predecessor they move him too. OK so they have Penny who's even more subtle and diplomatic now they find she too docile. My next advice is for them to resurrect Dr Eric Williams and tell him to come take back his party because some people really dont know what they want.
The pnm needs a leader who can fight cause being nice gets you killed
I just love the both of them I don't know what to say
correction every not ever
lets look at her so far. How has it been as an opposition thus far? She and her hand-picked executive are always late in responding, like days after, or sometimes not at all; they are not keeping meetings as regularly as they should. She doesn't command her audience; she's boring. Her speech makes you fall asleep; she cannot rally the members or anyone to become members or even vote for her and the party, if the members refuse to see that, And only want to tell members that thay should not discuss it in public, and take whatever is given to us by this leadership and her executive, other wise be prepead to be ostracized or demonize then they have not learned from the last election and should be prepared to stay in opposition.
She got the position as the political leader in a bad time. Their is no hope for The P N M again 
tge true fie heart support felt used just for their gain it's 
really sad.
We are so accustomed to rara rara behavior that diplomacy in action and we not seeing it.
My comment is not about Penny's abilities, its about the racist mentality of Trinidadians in general. When you choose leaders on the basis of race and colour you end up with a level mediocrity that prevents any country from progressing. Dr. Rowley recruited his cabinet and advisors based on their skill set, experience and work ethic. When those qualities are the basis for recruitment you can't possibly end up with a cabinet or a board of all African or all Indian or all chineese. As I recall in the early days there were comments by some, that Dr. Rowley was too dark to be the PM of T& T. Recently we have heard that Stuart Young was too Chinese and to rich to be PM. These are tough times globally, we needed leaders with skill, experience and courage on both sides of the isle. Now there are those complaining. Why complain. Our leaders are the result of decisions we the people have made. Perhaps going forward we will make our decisions on something more substantive than race, complexion, sweetness , friendliness. These are all surface qualities and do not speak to the ability of a group of people to run a country as complex as T& T.
None credible could have been found or none wanted to be associated with the shame of being pnm leader
Look yuh see that stupid talk duh make sense at the time people were confused and hurt by a major defeat no one was thinking straight.
When she was elected people wasn't studying that until they sober up.
The lady could make a good MP but leader no she just don't heave that quality and those who support her be real this is not ah friend thing
I just think is the people vote so blame the people
It became a coup de tate in the PNM , with two factions fighting each other. Its an age old strategy by the enemies of the African race, and so far, we, as a ppl, have allowed it to continue. Divide and conquer.
The worst of the worst
Very
I honestly so not think she is Isa weak leader ..eta wait for local GOVT elections.
She inherited the party in a hot mess give her a chamce
Exactly
Rowley must pull aside and allow her to take up the baton. He is a liability to the party.
Kamla can't burn no country and we their so what you saying pnm burnt down and we should stay with them no
Apparently being well organize and respectable and highly Educated is a sign of weakness unlike ruthless dysfunctional drunken kamla
She is too weak.
All you social Media imps and misled fools.dont come round my political leader with all of that nonsence.is bacanal and locura all of you like .my leader deals with facts figures and real issues.while D..UNCE are constantly being misled by social media. Ent yellow is the code?now take What you get in yo roocoongcootoongcoon.

Pnm will rain again & panday will be the opposition. Unc dead dead dead. Panday is the founder of the unc & take it from him. We'll he daughter will teach them a lesson.
Typical of my peeps. Only after the fact and criticism. They like monkeys, swinging any which way.
Since Trump invited Madro for holidays, with all expenses paid, there seems to be one opposition leader. The woman was constantly overshadowed by a bully. Some believe that the bully and some of his Caricom collegues may be invited for holidays by Trump as well. The opposition leader was elected. She has not shown any further weakness since elected, so how could you be calling her weak now you bunch of duffers.
Ngl young might have been a good leader but thanks to Rowley he got a really bad stigma and that is why no one will want him as leader because now every one watches him the same way Rowley used to watch him... Like a caddy boy or a fall man .
The Owner's of the party only listening and laughing at alyuh just imagine you not honoring negotiations but when the smoke clear you take 47% what manner of evil is that amongst other transgressions against people who digesting that?it will take more than years to digest that
No one in the pnm is worthy of leading the party.
Trinidadian just like loud behavior talk soft and polite you week to dam judgemental
Pnm Is Dead And Going To Burried Very Soon
Weak because she’s talking the same shit just in a different tone.
Some people based on these comments dont really understand politics at all and how it works and some of you all hate betterment and progress. Its so obvious about the state of the PNM and yet SMH.
she is going well. leave her alone. it is the same stupid talk make us end up with Kamla. The same way they bad talk Miss Earla, and now the next one doing next to nothing.
I find so, all them losers
Africans again, starting to destroy the making of a leader, yuh ain't seeing that in the Indian community, if they get or they ain't get, they supporting the Indian leader
MARVIN WILL DO A BETTER JOB
PNM in a mess oui. 2 loss in a year. PRESSHAH

Cause they stupid Stuart would have made a great leader. They better fix it , cause it will be more cut arse by the polls come local elections. A vibrate and strong assertive leader is needed.
That woman is not fit to be.
Please give me a break, Penny is not a weak leader, well if that is so, them the current PM also is weak, because Penny don't bark and not arrogant she weak right? Can't you people see the politics of barkung behind people and arrogance not working anymore...people fed up of dat, she stands well and deliver her points exceptionally well, give Penny a chance please, u can never please a Trini...
And this defensive, head-shaking missive to an elder of the party speaks to the insecurity and mayhaps the turmoil and jostling for pole postion that may be on going within the executive. Methinks doth protest too much
NOTE: if one is playing defense one is most likely losing...

As a member of the PNM, it is critical that I show my support for the duly elected Political Leader of the Party.
If people who claim to support me publicly were to engage in disrespectful behaviour towards the Political Leader, it would be my duty to do likewise- come out publicly and state my full support for the Leader and the office of Leader, and encourage those who support me to do the same. You see,
I would understand that the same disrespect my silence is giving consent to will one day come back to haunt me, and destroy the party.
I would understand that the party is bigger than me, and that if the Constitution of the party is disregarded, it will be detrimental to the party.
I would understand that my silence in the face of those attacks would be taken for approval, encouraging more and more internal dissent, making the party even more unattractive to undecided voters.
I would understand that if one cannot follow, then one cannot lead.
I would understand that time is longer than twine- if leadership is for me, it will come in the right way, at the right time.
I would throw my full support behind the leadership and the party, setting the example for the membership, and doing my part to strengthen the party.
Staying silent while the Political Leader is attacked is not an option.
Today, I urge all engaging in this behavior to think about the bigger picture; think about the Party, not self.
This is not about any one person or personality, it is about the PNM, this party that we all love; and how it can best be strengthened as we fight as a united body against the real enemy, the wicked, callous UNC.
Finally, until we are willing to assess our leaders with emprical, clinical detachment, and choose them based on qualifications, experience, capability, propensity for service and patriotism - and not JUST gimme, gimme, eat-ah-food, knee-jerk, emotional reactions, we will continue as a country be vulnerable to the biased, racist, tribalism and manipulative psyops like Cambridge Analytica has already wrought on our nation.
