RR8105A GRENADA CARIBBEAN SOCIALISM

(30 Jan 1981) RR8105A GRENADA CARIBBEAN SOCIALISM
Background to story: The Carribbean island of Grenada has had a revolutionary
socialist government since March 1979, when the discredited regime of Sir Eric
Gairy was overthrown in a coup. The young and charismatic Prime Minister,
Maurice Bishop, is pursuing a broad socialist programme to improve education,
health, housing, and the economy. Most foreign aid comes from Cuba. The United
States and Britain have cut off their aid, on the grounds that there have been no
elections since the coup, and political opponents have been imprisoned without
trial. Prime Minister Bishop says he remains committed to elections, but they are
not a priority. He also wants a new constitution to be drawn up.

Bishop just needed more time... it takes time to build anything long-standing and worthwhile.
In his words, enacting a constitution and only then holding democratic elections makes complete sense.
It’s a shame he was killed in his prime before his true vision had come to fruition.

I agree! Bishop did more for in 4.5 years than any other Government in Grenada!While the revolution were far from perfect,social programs were greatly improved under him.
