While it was in opposition, the UNC gave stupid reasons for not supporting the PNM in its attempt to make the CCJ our final appellate court, so I expect the current opposition to do the same.

The PNM has been quite supportive of the bills being brought forward by the PP especially since is the same bills the PNM presented just with a few minor changes, so although they will give them some heat for not supporting while they were in opposition i think they will support the bill...as long as it makes sense.
Look at the Dogs Bill, everybody was pushing for it to be passed and as soon as the announcement of it going to be in effect is a different story

Very wrong, our beloved PM is suggesting moving criminal matters to the CCJ, most appeals to death penalty cases are in fact civil (constitutional motions etc) so that will still be dealt with by the Privy Council

That is incorrect. If the PM's proposal is effected, our highest court of appellate jurisdiction becomes the CCJ. Thereafter there can be no appeals to the Privy Council, regardless of whether they are civil or criminal appeals. In any event, the CCJ doesn't seem anxious to hang anyone.
A historic move was made yesterday by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar as she announced that legislation will be brought to the Parliament to remove the British Privy Council as this country's final appellate court and replaced with the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ)—with respect to criminal matters. Civil matters will still go before the Privy Council.

LEADER of the Opposition, Dr Keith Rowley, yesterday supported moves by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to shift TT’s final appellate court in criminal cases from the UK-based Privy Council (PC) to the TT-based Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
He gave his response, speaking to reporters yesterday at the tea break of the Lower House sitting at Tower D of the International Waterfront Centre.
However, Rowley asked why Persad-Bissessar had not gone the whole hog and also made the CCJ the final court for civil appeals, instead of just criminal appeals.
“I’m very pleased that we are now apparently going to make one step towards the abolition of the Privy Council as a final court of appeal,” said Rowley.
