What happening with the name?


When people have an identity crisis the first thing that they struggle with is their name. One can say the same happens to organizations. As Wikipedia says “Historically, a woman in England would assume her new husband's family name (or surname) after marriage to him, and this remains common practice in the United Kingdom today as well as in common law countries and countries where English is spoken, including Australia, New Zealand, Falkland Islands, Ireland, the English-speaking provinces of Canada, the United States and Guyana. This practice means that a woman inherits her surname from her father and changes it to match her husband's surname (which he inherited from his father).

So imagine the PNC dilemma, when they got married to the Reform component. The PNC took the “man” surname, and become PNC –Reform or for short PNC-R. When the Reform man divorce the PNC, the shamelessly retained the man title. Another suitor came along and PNC got married again to 1 – Guyana. So they now go by the name:
People’s National Congress Reform One Guyana or PNCROG.

I understand as 2011 is rapidly approaching they would change their name again this time it would be:
PNC-1R meaning People’s National Congress One Robert {Raphael, Roger, Ramkarran, Ramgattan, Ramotar or other Ras’s}.
