I think with the first past the post system, only the persons in Government can make a difference . Therefore, PNM has failed miserably to improve the lot of the average citizens. In fact, they are much worse off.j.o.e wrote:hover11 wrote:Lemme ask you something....what has Rowley or PNM on the whole done for the black man? The average man....the man on the ground.

If i was PNM with a party card, I would never vote for someone like Stuart who will clearly be out of touch with the struggles of the average man.
A current Minister and MP had a daughter that went to Curepe Presbyterian Primary school with my wife. At one of the PTA meetings he got up and said "Maybe school isn't for everybody" in response to some parents concerns a monetary donation being asked for was to high.
These people hate the ordinary folk.
There are some real ones in the lot though.
Leonce was my coworker at a point in time and he genuine afaik. Heard good things about Gadsby Dolly and Webster Roy (personality wise). Forde is approachable at all times (those on HVC Old Boys know him well cuz he in everything).

You have a lot of questions. I am not interested in race and what happens to the black, yellow, green, purple man.
I am only interested in good governance.
Instead of asking why PNM should be voted in ask why UNC has stagnated to a point that after 10 years they have not demonstrated the ability to win voters or attracted intellectuals to offer themselves.
You are expecting( hoping) Kamla will axe the tax, raise your pay, and give you a gun.
The definition of hungry mouth, gimme gimme.
Kamla, Monilal and Padarath and who ever they hurriedly join up with are your savior.
Sorry not attractive to me as a voter. I hope this ends UNC and more progressive parties like M. Panday and company eventually builds into a worthy option.
First past the post. Nobody owes Kamla or the UNC a chance.
If UNC wins I would wish them the best and continue to live my life and provide for my family. That’s how politics works.

I get what you’re saying and I can agree. Problem is Trinidad has a political elite. Panday was a man of the people and soon he was playing golf with theCLICO owners and financiers.
Kamla needed to fly a chopper home and wear LV sneakers.
Your background doesn’t matter if you feel the need to move different with office.
There is a cult of personality that KPB has cultivated. I remember all the paraphernalia from her reign had her face on it. Cups, banners etc. very strange.

2. Carry back the FU range to six years
3. Do not increase the price of gas
4. Hold hand on increase in utilities or at least do it gradually
5. Change the tax rate so that people who make more than 300000 pay a higher rate
There are lots of things she can do which will affect the 1 percent but not the small man which Stuart and his elitist government will never be able to do

Remember the guy who cuffed down and killed the man outside the nightclub in front of everyone and is now living his best life in Australia.
One in my year stabbed and injun in the eye outside a nightclub also.The stabber is also living his best life.
People that didn't go to school there can never understand the social structure . Imagine in my year, the school replaced one of its cafeterias with a Pizza hut outlet, because somebody's son was in school at the time.Imagine poorer students getting detention because the hedges needed trimming and the lawn needed cutting. Imagine being threatened to be suspended because you stood up to a group of bullies and the phrase 'social betters' comes up by an official representative of the school.
You probably meant pizza boys? Can we all just admit that all boys schools are rough on the whole?

When Rowley won as political leader Vs Manning it was via internal elections. Likewise when Kamla won Vs Bas it was via internal elections.
Stuart was gifted the leadership position because no internal elections took place.
The_Honourable wrote:That's exactly what happened, he was gifted the position by Rowley, never earned it.
Contrary to what many think, Stuart didn't call elections to catch others unprepared. That's what the simple-minded pnm thinks. Yes, Kamla was going to take Stuart's appointment to court but that's not the real plan she had. as that would take some time. She was planning a no-confidence motion.
While I do think Stuart would have prevailed because his MPs would stand by him in the name of party stability and not because they like him, it seems Stuart himself wasn't confident that some of his MPs would support him and he buckled. His recent appointments were questionable and made a few persons unhappy.
Colm Imbert with all his hubris in finance ministry got demoted, you can see his body language over the past few days was negative. The biggest insult was the office of the AG. Camille is not qualified for the post whatsoever, yet Keith Scotland SC who is most qualified for the post is still relegated as "minister in the ministry" which is basically an assistant manager wuk. He also has to work under Minister Gonzales who has less qualifications than him even though both were elected as MPs in 2020. Then you have the Penny supporters and Penny herself who is clearly not enamored by Stuart.
