What exists now is the reality of being an integrated but subordinate part of an international economic system managed by the masters and owners of technology in their own interests, to whom the existence of small nations like us is a total abomination. What is difficult to comprehend, though, is how some people among us are quite willing to do anything to hold on to governance, but are not prepared in like manner to do anything to hold on to nation and to region as our founding fathers were. To those of us who remember, the unholy signing of the Shiprider Agreement was not a surprise. They seem to want to break the highest law of the land and to gain from this travesty. The PNM has no choice but on principle to contest the matter in the courts.
Commentators only obfuscate the matter when they throw in such statements into the mix.
It does not help. The issue is not dual citizenship in itself, but whether we must continue to protect our nation at all costs by ensuring that those who may want to serve in our Parliament hold no allegiance to any other power. These are fighting words, we dare say. Geared we can guess to scare somebody.
