        I think we ought to be fair to PDOIS. These people have spent
the gretaer part of almost three decades studying the Gambian political
system. They have developed as a consequence of their intensive inquiry
of the political, social, economic, cultural and other attendant
realities of the Gambian situation, a political, social and economic
blueprint of their response to the needs and aspirations of the Gambian
people, should they ever be honored to assume the reigns of power in
the country.

         Not only that, they have always been in the forefront in 
guiding
public opinion, and to a certain extend give context and relevance to
some of the most pressing political issues that have evolved over the
years. PDOIS undoubtedly is a government that is in not in power. They
react to policy decisions of the government, not only by differing, but
also providing an alternative policy.

         Most of us who sympathize or support PDOIS do so, not because
of the personalities behind PDOIS but becuause of the vision and
mission they represent. And we are yet to find a better alternative.
This is the reason why, inspite of the fact that they have for years
been struggling with a political strategy to win the minds and hearts
of the Gambian people, the vision and mission that they represent
afforded them a big sympathetic following despite their electoral
shortcomings.

       Therefore, PDOIS is not a group of personalities, they represent
a vision; they embody the ideals and aspirations of a lot of Gambians
who want to live in a country that is peaceful, dignified and
prosperous. There are a lot of Gambians who share their vision, and
would in time continue where they left off. They should therefore be
accorded the utmost respect, for there is nothing in the abundant
literature that they have continuously made available to the Gambian
people that they are blind followers. We know what the issues are. We
should try and address them.

Demba

These fools think they are in the United States! How many Gambians ever
heard of
that term; primaries much more understand what it means.

Even in the UK; we have a coalition government but we never had
primaries as to
who should lead. 

These fools have started their nonsense. Let them go to hell with their
agenda nonsense.

These Old Jackson Five crew are really some wanna be comedians.

They wish to mislead us into thinking that Alpha Conde and Cellou
Diallo held Primaries
before they led the political alliances they led in Guinea elections.
 
The PDOIS executive need some political CPDs.

I have stated it before, these guys are given too much political clout
than they deserve.

"Agenda 2011 calls for each party to  go on its own platform and
campaign for its own candidate to be the single candidate of the
opposition through primary" Hon Sidia.
 
My concerns are how are they going to organise and conduct this
primaries? and whether IEC and the government will allow them . My
advice for PDOIS is to drop the idea of the primary and come up with
another strategy of selecting the flag bearer to lead the coalition.
Gambians are not used to primaries and this will cause a big problems
within the opposition parties.
 
As Hon Darbo said " if different opposition leaders go on a political
platform to campaign to be the candidate of the opposition, they may
engage in character assasination just to win votes". I totally agreed
with Darbo and it will cause a big problem.
