NO MERGER, PLEASED
WHETHER OR NOT the custer Of the vice president Of
the local Democratic Party in 81. Thomas recently was due to
his proposal of a merger between the Democratic and the
Unity Party is immaterial. The idea, however, deserves look.
ing into.
AS ONCE indicated in these columns, these Islands need
a two-party system. There is nothing more politically danger
Gus than a one-party system. Allowed to develop, and con
unue, a one-party system can become stagnant and corrupt
beyond imagination. Under such a system there are no checks
and balances, and the party in power has a free hand to do
exactly what it wishes, and how it wishes. Absence of com
petition will create the type Of situation which only leads to
eventual decay.
NATURE being what it is, a party machinery
will develop which strangles everything. The party bosses
will control every department and phase of government, and
before we know it, the voters will be mere pawns in the hands.
of the party bosses. Anybody can be put up for public office
without any regard whatever to qualification because there
will, there can be, no opposition.
FURTHER, when that candidate is put up for office, ne
is by no means a free and independent entity. He owes his
office to the machinery, and is merely a front man, PuPpet
taking orders. Such a situation should never be allowed in
these parts, and it is the duty of the voters to use their votes
to see that no such situation develops.
ITMAYB BE that one party will win majority Of the seats
at any given election. That is all right because thatas what the
voters have decreed. These same voters may turn around and
change the pattern next time around. That, too, is al right since
it is the wish Of the voters. That is very, very different from
a one party system in which there is no choice whatever.
ALLTHINCS CONSIDERED the two parties, Unity and
Democratic, should realize their responsibility to the voters
and strive to keep alive their organizations. A merger would
serve no purpose, and weaken the very foundation OF our poll
teal system. True, there may be internal ~squabbles, friction
and what have you, but unfortunate as that may be, it IS mfl
nitely better than sorrendering the right OF party ii a merger
