Sir James Mitchell, former Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, sounds very silly. Mitchell, in advocating a backward position on constitutional reform, said: âif better canât be done, let worse continueâ. Letâs examine James Mitchellâs nonsense.
Taking the context into consideration, âworseâ can only continue if it currently exists. Unfortunately, worse cannot currently exist because, by definition, it is a description of a future state relative to the present. Mitchell apparently believes that to be worse is to be the same. No wonder he thinks that reverting to an NDP government is acceptable. At the same time, does he suggest that the ULP government is doing so well that âbetter canât be doneâ?
Maybe heâs not so bad after all.
