Can't agree with Tuftons position here although

[Islandman]

legally he is not required to resign.

You lose you seat in the election, so the Leader of the Opposition give you a Opposition Senate position. Then you go campaign and say the leader nuh want nuh intelligent people like you round him. And you lose again. Pack you grip man! Mek the man appoint those who him have confidence in.

You will live to fight again on another day when the time is right.

Tufton: I will not resign as senator

DR Christopher Tufton says he will not resign as an Opposition senator, saying he finds the request from Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Leader Andrew Holness most unusual.
“He (Mr Holness) stated that he would prefer to see an en bloc resignation, but it’s not a constitutional requirement. It is an unusual request related to an internal election,” Tufton told the Jamaica Observer. “A shadow cabinet resignation doesn’t equate to a resignation from the Senate,” he added.

whether or not he is required to do so ... the request for him to resign was not an attempt to heal and according to dr lloyd barnett, it is unprecedented .... and tufton's response even worserer ... so the jlp bangarang continues lonmg after election done.

jlp is really a party of banagrang fi true

Unfortunately it looks so. They just do not handle internal challenges well.

It is clear that Tufton has leadership ambitions, and there is nothing wrong with that. There is a need for a leader to have a level of trust in those in his inner circle though and I think Holness just does not have that in Tufton any longer.

.... but can they trust Holness? He said when Portia and Peter went after Shaw about the economy, he stepped back, BECAUSE HIM SMART. WTF. Trying to drive out a thinking person is a stupid move. Look at the make up of the shadow cabinet? Half a dem gonna fall asleep mid sentence.. I guess Holness has shown us exactly how smart he is.

[Islandman]

Well, if they can't trust him either, then even more reason for them to resign.

Looking like another JLP split-off (Seagas words) is possible. This is not over.

Poor Jamaica.

Perhaps he feels threatened? When takes over so young he is not thinking succession they say when a new alpha male lion takes over he either kills or drives out the young males....

I noticed that most of the mps that supported Shaw were those that were seen as the better performers whenever the media graded the former gov't. Now just look at the shadow ... sorry the sleepy cabinet.

Why poor Jamaica? They currently have a gov't they want. They should be good for the next 2 decades.

"Perhaps he feels threatened? "

I think that is exactly it. It first came to my attention when Shaw presented the 5 Es for moving the country forward. Holness got upset that he made such a presentation before ... only for it to come out that it was the idea of .... Tufton.

It is clear that Tufton is a thinking person.

I'm always a bit leery of those who proclaim themselves smart. I mean, I have never had to go around blowing my own horn regarding my brains. Indeed, the very thought of such a thing sickens my stomach! .

Anyway, if Tufton considers himself among the brains in the party, he should at least do the smart thing and resign.
