Furthermore, based on the attitude of Mr. Holness and the fact that we find his answers to the integrity issues lacking, unsatisfactory and not credible, which is one matter; but equally important, is his obstinate refusal to do the right thing and apologise to the President of the People’ National Party and for his retraction and apology for his irresponsible and potentially dangerous statement at Sam Sharpe Square on Sunday 7th February, leaves us with us with no other option, but to decline.
We will not compromise on our principles.
We, therefore, will not be able to participate in the debates at any level whatsoever.
Yours Respectfully
Paul Burke
General Secretary

PNP just lost a vote, I am among the articulate minority, and not participating in the debate is like a slap in the face. You can’t show up to an interview and tell the interviewer you won’t be doing the interview and expect to get the job. Hell no!! Get out your feelings and address Jamaicans
(Need my official welcome Ms Met lol)
I could not in all good conscience vote for a Political Party who refuses to participate in a political debate. Especially a political party who has such an atrocious record of accountability and accessibility. We have gone 4 and half years without a full length sit down interview with our PM which in any self respecting democracy is unheard of and on most critical issues there has been a deafening silence from the one who we look to to provide critical leadership. Affiliations may differ, opinions may differ as to which party has served us better, but at least as a people we should have a standard that applies regardless of political party. No political party should be so caught up in themselves that they refuse to debate our issues. None. Well said Floyd my sentiments exactly
