Opposition in any form is always healthy. Analysis is constructive. Probing, prying, prodding and other such activity helps to fuel democracy and maintain accountability.Our country has been fortunate to have benefitted from great leadership with both the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) and the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) at the helm. Our rich history and varied political accomplishments can be credited to the fact that both parties have done exceedingly well, holding each other’s feet to the fire.An entity which formulates policy and then implements it cannot provide an objective scorecard on its own performance. Thankfully, this has been the case in Barbados’ political landscape dominated by two parties. And for that we, the citizenry, are grateful since the business of our country is conducted using hard-earned taxpayers’ money. We must have a vested interest.
