People's Partnership? Only if forged from the love of liberty.

The victory of the People's Partnership (TPP) last May 24th bespeaks the most telling political paradigm shift that Trinidad and Tobago has ever witnessed: for it successfully demonstrates how the individualism of many may be preserved, yet welded into one ---which is the best way to deliver what is good for all.
 
As a result, TPP must never be allowed to unravel...and TTP won't unravel...if it:

1. regards every citizen as equal one with the other: thus does not adopt the "is TPP country now" mindset and starts spiting citizens who merely exercised their constitutional right to join a political party of their choice;
2. commits itself to social justice, by swiftly, steadfastly moving to ensure equitable distribution of the national pie: for that is why the electorate conspired to spoil the profligate PNM's party;
3. refuses to allow the successes (or failures) of its individual parts to fool it into thinking that, as a result, the whole of it benefits (or becomes blemished): for those who wish to remain in the backroom, wheeling and dealing, have the wherewithal and a history of manipulating the masses into believing that the struggle to make a Trinidad and Tobago where every creed and race find an equal place has been accomplished (or denied) just because of one individual's/group's success (or failure);
4. defines, in easily-grasped language, what precisely "People's Partnership" means: else someone else may steal its thunder;
5. does not rock back and relax, thinking the battle is over: for many individuals on the outside of TPP (and a few within) are very set on advancing their personal agendas, which can only be accomplished by destroying what May 24th last built;
6. engages in ongoing debate aimed at more closely cementing the ties between its disparate parts: for such debates to bear tangible and meaningful fruit, they must deal with the real issues that could make things become unstuck, even the most unpleasant ones.

Upon any who essays to rent asunder what VOX POPULI put together on May 24th last, may the vengeance of Moko descend!
