Claude Clarke's Public Affairs article headlined, 'The PNP Policy Challenge' was brilliantly written. Perceptive, perspicacious, astute and above all, brutally frank and honest, refreshingly so.

Clearly written with the interest of the PNP paramount rather than to foster a personal agenda. The message must be understood and accepted by the party, the base, the friends and supporters.

But it is the leadership of the PNP, as a whole, that has to get the message first; accept it; implement it; and then move forward.
