For starters we could listen very attentively to what Solomon Berewa and Alhaji Ahmad Tejan Kabbah have to say and also take a closer look at some of the leadership ideas of John Ernest Leigh and take a deeper look into the grievances of Hon. Charles Francis Margai, of the Margai family as we approach the next Makeni Convention, to choose a leader of the SLPP – a leader that can unite the party and reinvigorate her with new leadership and the potential to claim victory in 2012 – as we all know, an uphill task. If it was a miracle of organised effort for the APC to wrest power from an incumbent SLPP of ten years, then it will have to be a miracle of even greater effort for the SLPP to regain that power as the APC consolidates, and the Watermelons and other chameleons gravitate to the power and to where the honey is.

Do we assume we have a new friend or that which believes in objective thinking?
Go suggestion - the key is to look at and assess the causes of the collapse of the principles and ideals of the SLPP. Once identified, we can think of a way forward. let us hear from the past players - what happened? What went wrong?
