From our archives: PNM and Rowley's failure

This is what columnist Michael Harris wrote in the Express on June 10, 2013:
"By the time the PNM had crashed to defeat in 2010 it had become little more than an empty shell, a basket kept afloat by the unbridled ego of one man and the nostalgic but illusory memories of a past golden age. It was abundantly clear for anyone with eyes to see that for the PNM to survive and become a credible alternative once again it needed to undergo a root and branch reconstruction."

Harris concluded that the transformation never took place and that in three years the Rowley PNM has not presented one single idea to make Trinidad and Tobago a better place.

"Consider that in the three years it has been in opposition the PNM has not made a single statement about what policy it would pursue in any area of government and administration; consider that the leadership of the PNM today is the same set of spineless people who supported Mr Manning as he led them down the garden path; consider that in the three years it has been in opposition it has not been able to show a single new recruit of substance to its ranks and you would realise that the prospect of putting that party in office once again is a hideous nightmare."
