Marcus Garvey PEOPLES POLITICAL PARTY pledges to defend the principles of parliamentary democracy and to build a new society which will make the fruit of the democratic practices available in the fullest measure a ALL our people.

The choice which the people will make in the forthcoming election will determine whether we shall go forward to a new period of national development and social progress or continue in a state of frustration and privation for the majority, chronic waste and stagnation of the past 400 years of colonial rule.

(1) The constitution agreed on by the two cousins at 1962 conference in London and approved by a Bi-Partisan committee of the P.N.P and J.L.P., does not unloose the true aspirations of the people of Jamaica. The P.N.P. and the J.L.P., conspired to silence the voice of the P.P.P., so that they could validate existing agreement such as the Bases Agreement to the danger and detriment of the people, so that they could entrench clauses to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, and exclude from l Parliamentary representation any third Party that might arise in Jamaica.

We pledge to re-write the constitution when become the Government so that it will truly be a people’s constitution protecting the rights, Liberties, freedom and equality of opportunities for ALL, irrespective of races, color or creed. So that Jamaica will become a republic.

This is basic to modern Agricultural Development. We will establish a National Marketing Board to deal with all phases of Agricultural Marketing both domestic and export, through which farmers can voluntary dispose of their products, and see to it that importation of foreign agricultural produce will only be permitted when local goods cannot meet demand.

(5) This Industry is now being operated too much on behalf of foreign interests while Jamaican money is being used to guarantee and subsidize its undertaking. Tourism must be examined and re-orientated so that the people of Jamaica will have first claim on the financial and social benefits accruing from this country.

(a) Industrial development under the present Government has had the effect facilitating expatriates to the disadvantage of local persons, Tax adjustments, incentives and protection mostly denied to local business interest and local labor.

With establishment Parties, you rise to the top based on the “good Ole boys” network promotion.

It is safe to say MGPPP is a political party which is built on meritocracy, transparency, accountability, democracy, justice, and fair play.

The people who work the hardest for the growth and development are automatically propelled to the top.

The members have the power to remove any official that does not act in the people’s best interest.

We support any grass-roots candidate who is steeped in the philosophy & opinion of Marcus Garvey, who has community support, and who pledges to satisfy their agendas for the people.

We assist candidates with public relations. We help to plan and implement winning strategies. We print and distribute fliers and posters for candidates. We do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to insure our people win.

Honor Marcus Garvey by making the political party he founded empower our people.

Polities is the air you breath, the food you eat the education your children gets, your health and happiness.

Politics have two nature you are on top of it or its on top of you.

In the 1920s Marcus Garvey examined the political spectrum and determined that we need a political party of our own.

9/9/1929 Marcus Garvey founded PEOPLES POLITICAL PARTY.

80% of our people stood with Mr. Garvey.

The powers that be determine that we must not be free attacked Mr. Garvey on the left was Norman Washington Manley at his prime he was one of the best attorney at his time.

On his right was Alexander Bustamante trained in espionage he work for Spanish intelligence in Spain & Cuba.

An elder who lived in Cuba recall that Bustamante would brake up UNIA meetings there.

Manley would use his legal acumen overt and covert to frustrate Mr. Garvey efforts to fashion an Afrocentric world for blacks..

Bustamante would use dirty tricks.

Marcus Garvey exiled himself to england.

One of Marcus Garvey chief lieutenant St. Williams Grant it became evident was Bustamante stooge.

With friends like St Williams Grant Mr. Garvey did not need enemies to stop the progress of black people.

Manley and Bustamante went examine Marcus Garvey PEOPLES POLITICAL PARTY

they would not use his teachings or his party manifesto.

They decided to take the red , from our red black and green and two P from our PPP

9/18/1938

Manly Bustamante and friends founded PNP they would use the red as their color.

Bustamante believed that he would be a better leader than his educated cousin Manley.

July 8th 1943 Bustamante founded JLP

He took the JL from Marcus Garvey labor organization JWLA , the last P from PPP

and the Green from our red black and green and he made the JLP.

Let us bring back the red and green with the black and prove that we are stronger together than we could ever be apart.
