Candidates for a new party

The Editor, Sir:
Here is my suggested list of candidates to form a new political party:
Christopher Tufton, Basil Waite, Lisa Hanna, Delroy Chuck, Don Wehby, Douglas Orane, Danville Walker, Greg Christie, Betty Ann Blaine, Robert Montaque and Mark Wignall.
Apart from the persons named above, I would ask all descent, honest, patriotic, civic minded citizens and young professionals to stand up and be counted at this watershed moment in our country's history. All prospective candidates must be properly vetted and their background thoroughly checked to safeguard against crime and corruption.
The main criteria must be:
No politicians from the 1970s.
No present or past politicians who have been alleged to be in any type of corruption over the past 50 years. The allegations do not have to be criminal in nature neither would they have had to be tried or found guilty in a court of law.
God bless Jamaica.
I am, etc.,
