The most unprepared leader the PNP has had since 1938 who basically got to the position by default. It’s not a position he wanted, but got. Let’s look at boring 2.0 Mark Golding, aka Chacka Chacka’s ascendency to the presidency of the PNP. Born into what Michael Manley railed against in the 1970s, a wealthy white family, the ones seen as architect of imperialism and capitalism.
He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2017, and silly enough, when nobody could be found to lead the PNP, he came forward and was chosen. It goes to show you the PNP is now a household joke. Nobody in their right mind takes the PNP seriously anymore.
Mark Golding is stiff, uncharismatic, boring and comes across fake. You can tell he is putting on a show, without the costume of course. Now his party has seen it fit to rebrand him to make him appealing to the public. Problem is, they tried the same thing with Dr Peter Phillips and it didn’t work. They even gave him a weekly live show on Facebook with only 50 people watching. I tried watching it once and fell asleep. My understanding is that they tried everything possible with Dr Phillips and nothing worked. I happen to think Mark Golding is worse than Dr Phillips, who was not fake, but real.
Mark Golding is trying hard to connect with the people and he just can’t get any traction. He recently toured sections of Jamaica and reception was lukewarm. Gone are the days of excitement at a glimpse of their leader. Those days stopped after Portia Simpson Miller was replaced by Judas, the guy who signed a secret memorandum with the US and UK back in 2004. The PNP’s days are over it seems, and one can only hope it’s for good. Let’s sit back and watch the rebranding of Mark Golding.
