The political landscape of Jamaica is set for a seismic shift with the emergence of the Jamaica Unity Alliance (JUA), a coalition of four minor parties committed to transformative change.
Announcing their formation on March 7, 2024, the JUA comprises the National Democratic Movement, the Marcus Garvey Political Party, the Jamaica Patriotic Movement, and the UP Jamaica, formerly known as the United Independent Congress or Movement of the People.
At the core of their mission is a dedication to constitutional reform, aiming to create a new Republic that fosters justice, peace, prosperity, and efficiency. The JUA advocates for term limits for the head of state, fixed dates for elections, and a cabinet composed of individuals based on merit rather than political affiliation.
Peter Townsend, formerly of the NDM, emphasised the need to break away from the garrison-style political culture perpetuated by the two main parties, which has eroded social, ethical, and moral values while compromising national security.
Central to the JUA's vision is the direct election of the president, who would serve as both head of state and head of government, elected by the people and accountable to them. This shift represents a departure from traditional governance structures, placing power firmly in the hands of the electorate.
As the JUA steps onto the political stage, there is hope for a revitalized approach to governance and a commitment to representing the interests of all Jamaicans. With their bold agenda for change, the JUA aims to be a formidable force in shaping the future of Jamaica, especially in these challenging times.

Constitutional Reform" so what would be different with their Constitutional reform compared to what the present government is trying to force on the citizen of jamaica without any meaningful education on how that will improve the lives of our citizens.
ReplyDeleteNow there is a mention of 4 fractions coming together, who is going to be the LEADER?
it all sounds good when all that anyone of them is doing is talking.
The current government is wasting valuable resources doing commercialtelling is that we are on the road to republic"" I personally would need them to educate me on how that is going to bring betterment to my existence.
I think it's a good idea to have a 3rd option, however I suspect they would be doing nothing different.
And this road to REPUBLIC, is just another Brexit waiting to happen.
The people of jamaica needs to take a serious look at them selves in the mirror and ask themselves, what am I going to do to make meaningful changes to my existence?
And yes it starts with us.
The market people complaining about the deplorable state of the market, and at tge Sametime they are responsible for leaving their garbage in the same place that ther are working.
Then they blame government.
We steel the toilet paper from our public institutions , then we blame government.
I hope someone get where I am going, as this platform is not large enough for me to state all the things that we are doing to make our lives and others so miserable.
Then we blame government.
When the government people are sleeping in their bed, and we are out there committing quadruple murder, raping our children including those who are supposed to be protectors such as church leaders and police officers.
The list goes on, then we blame government.

I agree with several points made by writer Toronto. Also this Alliance must find a method of raising massive financial funding to inform Jamaica 🇯🇲 of its ability to lead as a credible political organisation. Ultimately, IT IS WE THE PEOPLE THAT MUST STEP UP, INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, TO HELP LIFT JAMAICA 🇯🇲 TO A BETTER LEVEL and a better EDUCATION is the best way 👍 Stafford Haughton
DeleteI stringly believe we need a 3rd option, because with the JLP VS PNP its a case of "no better herring, no better barrel". Unity Alliance must avoid making the same NDM mistake, which was to take up "ubsuccessful and unsavory" discards from the other parties.
ReplyDeleteI dont believe the have the financial resources to campaign islandwide, so they should air for the more densly populated parishes. Get enough votes to be a meaningful option, and have a say in policy msking
Looking forward to seeing if JUA takes up the offer to meet with me about WTPPCORJ with a crew to advocating for its implementation.
