BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Tomorrow, as faithful Christians worship and observe the significance of Good Friday while preparing to celebrate the Resurrection, the people of Barbados in general will be particularly cognisant of a prevailing social and economic mood that reflects varying worrying concerns and negative messages in the media. The February 21 general elections came and went with the political status quo remaining as “Dems again” and the Bees’ promise of “a better tomorrow” deferred for another season – whether in five years or much earlier. The new post-election arithmetic of a parliamentary majority for the incumbent DLP of merely two in the 30-member House of Assembly has left a fellow columnist, Tennyson Joseph, piquantly noting in last Tuesday’s DAILY NATION that when called to pick a government between the two parties, the electorate were seemingly “mobilized into indecision”.
