The New Paradigm

"The changes that are occurring in our world and in our country are p owe rful and fundamental. They are here to stay. This means, therefore, that our institutions, political systems and bureaucracy must either change quickly, or disintegrate and be swept away."

"We must change our approach to governance, or we will become part of the problem and be swept aside by the emerging new social order. This new social order requires participation where there is
greater information sharing and communication - in a clear, honest way - on the process of policy formulation and decision making."

The People's National Party is "a structure which is inclusive , responsive and accountable to the new, proud, informed, assertive Jamaican citizen of the 21st Century."

The People's National Party is the vanguard of progress, shaped by the deep and profound changes that are taking place globally and at home.

We re-commit ourselves to relentlessly pursue the cause of greater social equity and seek to create more opportunities for the upliftment of our people.

We will never lose sight of the quest for the quality society, which we have pledged to build.

P. J. Patterson
Party President (1992-Present)
