SOME IMPLICATIONS OF THE PRIME MINISTER'S HANDLING OF THE EXTRADITION REQUEST

Facing his stiffest challenges to date, Prime Minister Bruce Golding enters a third year in office with the reins of power less firmly in his grasp than at any time since he took the oath of office on September 11, 2007.

As of now there is no danger the reins will slip through his fingers, but the prospects of his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) retaining power after 2012 will depend largely on how quickly the economy rebounds and how the prime minister handles the request by the United States for the extradition of his most prominent constituent Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.

Meantime, the extradition is the most pressing matter: It is tied up with the way Jamaica is perceived in the global community; it is linked to social disorder and violent organised crime; and it underscores the ugly underbelly of a part of our politics that will not disappear without a sustained bipartisan approach to critical national problems.

Is that the same as a social contract?!?
