Social Partners
Do you remember the Church in Little House on the Prairie? As I recall, all matters concerning the township were addressed to insure fairness and morality for all. We have more churches than days but the moral fiber of our society is dwindling away as Political entities make more unilateral decisions in this country.
In fact, more recently I have been seeing Political figures speaking on the pulpits of our churches. My biasness prevents me from saying this in any other way but for me, A politician on the pulpit is even worse than a preacher in Parliament. The two should effectively function apart. What would be great is if we can get the politicians to be thinking more like preachers, well sort of.

Someone finally had the guts to say Our Social Partners are too quiet today Civil Silence by them is a dereliction of duty It violates the blind trust of our Bajan Society And now it’s hard to tell which is worse Legislative dwarfism of morality in reverse Politicians may trick us to secure our votes And later deny it, crying, it must be misquotes Religious groups however must preserve integrity Their agendas are based on a higher morality National deviations from impartial choice Entreats the Social Partners to sound their voice Regrettably though this hasn’t been happening "Silence in..issues of corruption in public life is deafening"
