10 things that ‘define a true Labourite ’ (JLP)

10 things that ‘define a true Labourite ’ (JLP)

today’s presentation includes a somewhat light-hearted compilation of 10 things that define a true ‘Comrade’. Of course, the same was done in respect of the ‘Labourites’, with a sense of colour and even a bit of humour being interjected into both compilations.

A similar word of caution again: don’t take it all too seriously; remember, it’s the official‘silly season’, right?

Here goes with the defining attributes of a true ‘Labourite’.

  1. The firm viewpoint that the JLP represents the people’s real hope for economic freedom and prosperity, as the PNP only ‘nyam’ out the country’s resources when it is in power.
  2. The perception that the JLP builds up the economy in government, while the PNP destroys it. A true Labourite is supposed to hold the belief that while the JLP is busy serving the country, the PNP is only about serving themselves. This notion is centre around a perception that the JLP is more about business and the country’s welfare, as against the socialist tendencies of the PNP’s leaders, who believe in ‘christening dem pickney first’.
  3. What the Leader says goes for everybody else, a-la the ‘One Don’ syndrome.
  4. The willingness to follow Bustamante or his successors until mi dead!
  5. Publicly embracing Tivoli Gardens as a major centre of influence in the party, irrespective of the negatives of doing so, a-la, ”Shower  Labourites”.
  6. Defending ‘Dudus’’ deeds to the hilt, while focusing on his opposite ‘bad man’ number, ‘Zeeks’, as having had an embarrassing fall from grace (check court records)
  7. Celebrating the don man culture of politics that has been pronounced in the party.
  8. Preaching the freedom message, but always weary of the influences of gangs of five, three, seven or eleven within the party.
  9. The notion that the PNP is ‘tricky’ and ‘can’t be trusted’, as if the JLP is a close relative to Mother Theresa.
  10. The viewpoint that the PNP is a cultist group, and “dem nuh good”!
