Either/either

Labourites come in two sizes; (those who are still identifying themselves as Labourites).

Size one is; no matter what govenment would be in office the same things would happen.

Size two are those who will attempt to explain why something was done as if they have some direct link to Bruce's study.

Size one people have no comprehension of reality. They could have been in a coma for ten years. They want to believe that there was no money, (even though the coffers were full when the PNP left office). They want to believe the US/Europe meltdown effected Jamaica, (even though the vast bulk of our money was invested in Jamaican Treasury bills as they paid more than even Bernie Madoff). They want to believe that there has been a recession, (although Tourist arrivals went up and have remained up.) Similar to 'Denial' Size One people believe if they repeat bullshit often enough it turns back into food.

Size Two people try to intellectualise. They assume that there's some plan and that the JLP is following it. They alter this hypothetical 'plan' as debacles occur, thinking that it was supposed to go this way; imputing brilliance where there is blundering, imputing integrity where there is corruption. Assuming that Bruce 'didn't know' when some nasty bit explodes in his face.

Both Sizes however, have to vote for Bruce when he runs again if they want him to get another term. Unless there's a windfall three months before election, they will simply not vote. For somewhere in their psyches they have to know that Bruce really doesn't have a clue.
