Burnham rigged the referendum and imposed a dictator constitution on the people of Guyana.
Unfortunately 30 yrs after the suppossedly democratic PPP is making good use of the same constitution and did nothing to change it. |

In public the PPP always critize Burnham and the PNC. However, at Freedom House, the PPP are joyful and pleased in governing under this dictatorial contitution. They have no plans to chnage it.

It is also instructive to note that a certain now critic of the PNC today was one of the major supporters of the then magic victory by Burnham.

Not only was he cheering the victory, he actually authored a study showing how 'Odo' had won over the majority of Indian support for the PNC. Today that same pen writes about the Burnham dictatorship from afar.I beg him or his supporters to deny this fact. |

I was marked by the PNC since in high school because of my strong opposition to national service and mass games in our high school. |

In private hard core communist PPP guys admire LFSB. However, they absolutely hate Mr. Hoyte.

Why is that so TK? On the other hand Hoyte also had a healthy disdain for the Jagans. |

Deep deep ideological differences. Hoyte also despised the Jagans. Personally I like Mr Hoyte as a President. But his post 1997 actions would set the PNC back for 20 years. |

The P.P.P. should use the constitution and make the Guyanese people eat grass. Instead they abandoned the constitution and let captialism flourish.
You people need to eat grass and get flogged if you speak out. |

He never rigged any referen. My father created the base for Guyana. He created the foundation for Guyana. I am glad my father banned international food, it was all junk. The international market was sending Guyana all Junk. we grow our own food. and was healty. Thanks to my POPS |

I think that's nonsense. Any admirer of fatboy was for his charisma, not his policies. I attended a few Sophia meetings and a couple of fatboy birthday parties, and what I noticed was admiration through fear. They feared the man, so they pretended admiration. Guyana never instituted any hard core communist policies. They were playing at being socialists, and reading the little red book, and experimenting with a planned economy, but half heartedly. Guyana has always been a capitalist country, and the people have always been capitalistic minded. |
