balance PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - APRIL 21, 2013 counted as the first day in the rest of the life of the People’s Partnership, born exactly three years before in Fyzabad. Headlines yesterday reported the departure of Jack Warner, maybe the most fearsome of the political heavyweights in the Partnership that became the Government.
Mr Warner proved also to be the most vulnerable of the leading figures in the United National Congress, the Congress of the People, the Movement for Social Justice, the Tobago Organisation of the People, and the National Joint Action Committee, that made up the Partnership.
Only Jack Warner had an exposed flank resulting from his decades of involvement with football administration. From mid-2011, when the run of play began going against him, he put on a brave face, assuring all would be well, and vowing a “tsunami” in retaliation against his accusers.
