commentThe party does not have a well defined platform nor planks. This is tantamount to an attempt to circumnavigate the globe by sail without a compass. Our country has its compass; our Constitution. The party must have its compass and it must be synchronous with our Constitution if it is to succeed, else it founders on well known political rocks before it has a chance to make its first port of call.
