It seems all hell has broken loose on the matter of Barbados becoming a republic within the next three months. It is a matter that really should not divide us, particularly at a time when we are at our most vulnerable state since Independence in 1966.The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has ruined our economy and undermined the plans not only of Government but many individual citizens who had set personal goals which have not materialized.Government certainly had several targets, many of which would have paved the way for another blowout election victory. Not that we expect the Mia Mottley administration will have great difficulty achieving another win at the polls, constitutionally due in two years.
