first off, all the foreign investors would more than likely pull out of their ivestments. the progress we made from the summit and all our endeavors be become ah financial hub and a convention haven like dubai and singapore would blow up in our face.
our industries would suffer, as well as tourism. any more bright ideas?
Njac still exist ?

Bas sees new party coming
Richard Lord
Published: 3 Apr 2010
Basdeo Panday
Richard Lord
Former Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday says a new political party may be formed in T&T. Panday made the statement during a brief interview yesterday. Asked to comment on the state of affairs within the Opposition United National Congress (UNC) and moves to achieve opposition unity, Panday said: “If they (party leaders) continue to be spiteful and agonise enough people, maybe they (the agonised) would form a new political party, which would defeat the entire process of unity.”
Asked if he was expected to play any role in that exercise, Panday quickly responded: “No, no, no. I now have the time to do a lot of the things I always wanted to do and I am enjoying my life.” Panday said he was studying literature, listening to music and reading books. He said he has resumed work on his autobiography. He said any attempt to achieve opposition unity would be unsuccessful if the leaders could not genuinely come together. He said there must be meaningful discussions among the leaders if the opposition has to engage the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) in a one-on-one election battle.
And Panday has welcomed the move by the Government to lay the controversial, unsanitised report of the Uff Commission of Enquiry into the Construction Sector and the Urban Development Corporation of T&T (Udecott) in the Senate. “It was the right thing to do,” Panday added. He said, however, that there was the real danger of libelling innocent people by tabling the document in the Parliament. But he quickly countered saying that most of the people interviewed and named in the report would have been cross-examined in the commission hearings before chairman Prof John Uff. (RL)

For those who doh support nun ah dem... ah cayr do that because their is no such thing as "nun ah dem" when yuh voting... One of the top 3 will win... and go on to run de country... if I had it my way I would still have the NAR... but this is wishful thinking..!

come on NAR in modern language is spelt COP.
Listen in my view, if an Indian had taken over the PNM, their base would not have accepted that - simple. Imagine is indian making most use of the pnmistic ways and benefiting behind the scenes and the african base didn't/doesnt mind that, but if an Indian take over leadership then it will be right up in their faces and that was/is unacceptable.
Sammy, yuh right about the sufferers voting and not getting any benefits thereoff , that is very true TODAY, but yesteryear that was ah whole different story, as for voting BC iz black man in charge, ah think yuh might be exaggerating.Ah... why why....

Sammy, ah think yuh giving black ppl too much credit! :rotfl: :rotfl: bredder, if yuh know anything about PNM and their strong hold, then you would know there's nowhere that is comparable to lakooharp (the harp), desperle cresent laventille and basilon street!!For those who doh support nun ah dem... ah cayr do that because their is no such thing as "nun ah dem" when yuh voting...

these ppl don't allow outsiders tuh come in and dictate for them, but wait, have you ever heard of ramjit samarroo? well he's the musical arranger for renegades steel orchestra. jit as he's affectionately called is like a lord in the harp, and EDR, the young and the old know and love jit, patrick penco captained renegades from1984 - 1991 was also of east indian decent/ dougla, but more indian than anything.
mr and mrs singh had ah vegetable palour smack in the middle of basilon street, and the singhs were like family, they've been there way before me, some 30 something yrs. every body loved and appreciated the singhs, and if mr singh decided tuh run for office in that constituency, he most likely would've won by ah huge margin.
MR sammarro was also another piller in the community,he had ah variety store smack on observatory street, ppl in the community used tuh call him "the boss", he had nuff nuff say in the community and was like ah father figure. him and DR RAT was very close and he would often advise him on business matters.
the fella who made rudolph charles pan casket was an indian fella name ish, i was present when he welded it on laventille rd right off desperle cresent and ovid alley. ish was no slouch and ah real cool bredder.
the point ah trying tuh make is, yuh need tuh spend some time in this community(EDR, pos) tuh know that we never suffered from that sickness. when i was growing up in EDR , we had working class whites, indians, chinese, french creoles,spanish, dougla just every race living real real fackin cool wid each other and all PNM supporters!
it didn't have no black or indian neighborhoods, every body just live together in peace. ah bet yuh didn't know it have ah high concentration of indains up in gonzales bordering belmont bellau rd? they keep all the indian festivals and holydays, the weddings hindu and muslim alike, it was ah real cool scene.
it's only when i was old enough to travel around the country as ah young fella and visit other rural communities, did i realize, "WAIT!" "trinidad is really ah divided country along racial lines boy?" i'm pretty sure it's Bc of the way i was raised in POS, and what i saw as ah yute had me naive about this reality.
tuh tell yuh the truth, nothing prepared me for this, especially living in and around EDR , belmont, and wood brook.. but sammy, i believe the PNM woulda never had ah problem wid an indian PM, well @ least not town ppl. can't speak for the rest of trinidad though.
For those who doh support nun ah dem... ah cayr do that because their is no such thing as "nun ah dem" when yuh voting... One of the top 3 will win... and go on to run de country... if I had it my way I would still have the NAR... but this is wishful thinking..!

Present will be Mr. Basdeo Panday, Ramesh L Maharaj, Kelv...in Ramnath, Mickela Panday and other MP's and activists. Kelvin Ramnath MP------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thailand’s This headline insinuates that policies toward Democracy as we know it in TNT will change if the planned election installs a new regime with a seemingly democratic face. How was democracy any different when UNC was the elected government? How is it going to be democratic when one of these so called leaders premise is for the advocacy of one ethnic group above the rest? What constitutes undemocratic practices and principles?
believe it or not sammy, this was designed by the british tuh keep the masses from forming an alliance against them, so they divided the masses with heavy propaganda concerning each other.
BREAKING NEWS!!!.....Manning has told the President to dissolve Parliament with effect from midnight tonight.....the silly season has officially started!!!...
Here we go again.
Wonder if the UFF report is going to be made public before the election!
We'll see if there is the same ground swell of support there was for the COP last time. Only way the UNC and COP have a chance is if they co-ordinate which seats they contest.
Doh make any kinda sense for UNC to run in Diego.
I think the PNM just decided things going to get worse as time pass so best to cash in now before the opposition unifies and before the UFF findings start burying them. Very risky move.
Interesting stuff JC.Sammy yuh totally missed my point. :frustrated: i was not refering to northerners as being more accepting of indains, or the races getting along together. NO!Quotebelieve it or not sammy, this was designed by the british tuh keep the masses from forming an alliance against them, so they divided the masses with heavy propaganda concerning each other.
It wasnt the colonials alone that did that, both Williams and Bhadase used this very same tactic back in the early days to keep the people divided to suit their own needs.
I heard clive nunez speak about racial tensions in T&T so much so that williams couldnt ride the train through caroni cause he could've been stoned/killed and the same for bhadase in other parts of the country. He even spoke of a plot between williams and bhadase where Bhadase faked his daughter's kidnapping just so that Indians wont trust the africans thus keeping the divisions and tensions alive.
I know what u speak of people (africans and indians ) living and working together as one. I grew up in that. When i get sick and my nother didnt know what to do, is granny next door(an african) she running by. I remember we were so good with those people- too bad they moved away. I remember a time tanty Phillis (granny daughter who was big and fat) come across by we and sat down causing the chair leg to buss through the rotten floor board of we house :rotfl: and it was all good- no hard feelings.
Anyhow, i am sure that there are many stories like that many people across T&T have but here is the main question: even if the races are all good and dandy, deep down would they really want to put someone of different ethnic back ground to rule them?In other words, would they want to bow down to some one who is perceived to be lower than them. I think this is the seed sown in the hearts of people of those times and it still germinates today, a seed sown by those who wished to rule including williams, bhadase, panday and the lot.
Look at how some pnm people does complain about the PNM government but if u ask them y they dont vote for someone else, they will say UNC in a mess and full of corruption and it eh have no one else. So alone comes COP, so y not vote for COP? they will say how COP is a knife and fork party and how Dookeran does shake he head too much when he talking . Come on, they vote for the pnm as u rightly said because mainly because of tradition, a sense of indebtedness and race. UNC is the same thing, but thank goodness that the new era rolling in and the indians no longer feel they owe panday anymore. I can only hope/pray that the african youths adopting this style of thinking too.
my point was that PNM is not ah african party bro, it's ah ppl's party, some of eric williams most loyal supporters were chinese! and the only reason the masses don't know that is BC they were a minority group @ the time.
ah see people voting PNM but they giving reason like they afraid the consequences if UNC win. vote strategic instead of voting conscience :-[ .cosign
For those who doh support nun ah dem... ah cayr do that because their is no such thing as "nun ah dem" when yuh voting... One of the top 3 will win... and go on to run de country... if I had it my way I would still have the NAR... but this is wishful thinking..!

Bullshit ... ribbit you never fail to disappoint. Viewed strictly through the lens of race, it would have been a watershed moment for the country, and possibly a favourable tipping point. There would have been no revolt of the masses because of the circumstances under which the transition would have occurred.
On a level it's difficult to distill the 80s political climate from the vantage point of hindsight and the vitriol of the political climate 30 years on, but the polarity and invective of present circumstances were unfamiliar then. It very well may have been a poor call by the powers that be (from the perspective of long-term political implications) to usher in Mr. Chambers.
Then again ... me eh know, I din have no Japanese garden in my backyard. ;)
Fork that I voting UNC solely off of bad mind.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is a sad situation because both parties is shit and providing a man with no viable options. And not voting is basically a vote for a party anyhow yuh take it.
But the way i see, PNM realize they up shit street so trying to force through an election quick quick before the shit hit the fan... Lewwe hurry up and jam dem before UNC sort themselves out and in a position to provide an option for better governance. They trying to ride the incumbency advantage to buy a next 5 years could continue with the bullshit?
Nah, i find thats insulting my intelligence... Almost as bad as McCain pulling in Palin on the sole basis of needing a woman as a running mate and expecting me to fall for that.
Kamla, Jack and the UNC all the way!
i fed up :-\
Fork that I voting UNC solely off of bad mind.
i fed up :-\
D congregation say AMENNNNNNN
is Rowley a candidate this election?... or not decided yet?

Not so sure that it is bullshit you know. The PNM had a great propensity to discriminate against Hindus, and while Kamal was NOT a hindu, you must remember that indians were bottom of the socio-economic ladder.
There was an interesting occurrence when lots of Indians boycotted the polls and PNM under Eric Williams swept every seat in the election. Do you know what caused this to happen?
Fackery
Everyone of the rich hindus got their wealth with the PNM government in power, Moonan Seeram brother, Junior Sammy, Ish, just to name a few all got bigggggg contracts from the PNM, long before NAR, UNC and COp come into being
Why are you using this forum for your racist rants...
I wonder how blacks would have felt if Indians had raised clenched fists and shouted "Indian Power!"
After his election in 1961, Williams reached an understanding with R.N. Capildeo, the Hindu DLP leader, under which the DLP was consulted in some national decisions and DLP members were sent abroad on diplomatic missions. Capildeo was allowed a special leave of absence from Parliament to spend the greater part of the year in London. Although the understanding appeared, on the surface, to be a magnanimous gesture on Williams's part, it was a skillful political move because it left the opposition party without a leader in Trinidad and Tobago. Capildeo's high-handed absentee management alienated many within the DLP, especially blacks. In 1964 many non-East Indians defected from the DLP and founded the Liberal Party of Trinidad, reducing the DLP representation in the House from ten to seven.

Post-May 24, 3 Cs and corruption
Pastor Clive Dottin
Published: 18 May 2010
Pastor Clive Dottin
After May 24, we have to appreciate the talents of every group, and unite to fight the monsters that are placing us on the list of endangered species.
After May 24, we have to empower the victims of abuse, comfort mothers mourning the loss of their sons and daughters, support children grieving for their fathers whom they saw collapsing as bullets were pumped into them. After May 24, we have to adopt homeless children and encourage decent citizens to lift their self-esteem and help them to identify their talents. We have to motivate them to trust, have respect and forgive. After May 24, we have to launch a national grief-care project. In fact the project must become a ministry. But we have a challenge: some people wish to heal while holding on to the desire for revenge. This is impossible. There can be no real healing without forgiveness! After May 24, we have to continue the quest for justice. Who will protect Police Officer YY94? This is not her number; I have used 94 as a symbol. Who will have the courage to protect this police officer? She has been threatened because she dared to attack corruption and is prepared to pay the price. I have said it before, and I will say it again, behind every consistently corrupt cop there is a crooked lawyer, a reckless politician, and a greedy businessman. Therefore, after May 24, the untouchables in business, in the police, in the Customs, must be challenged.
Whichever party wins, that group must appreciate the development strategy that involves consultation before imposition. The leader of the Partnership has called for constitutional reform that involves a fixed election date, term limits for Prime Ministers—two terms—and the right to recall MPs. If Kamla Persad-Bissessar becomes the first female Prime Minister, we would hope that she engages the process that would make the vision a reality. Because expressions of nobility are articulated when folks are in the opposition, and when they become the government, those ideals are placed on the backburner. But with a few days to go, we would not have very long to wait to separate the genuine from the cosmetic. Let us remember that sections of our Constitution nourish the maximum leadership style and that is why we have to engage in reform after meaningful dialogue. Bodies here, bodies there, bodies everywhere. Pregnant woman shot and killed along with her partner. Imagine at a wake people are being killed. Death producing death!
But what about Michelle Samaroo, 23? She went in search of a job and was brutally abducted and murdered. We need the three Cs to deal with crime and corruption. We have to be clinical, consistent and courageous. A spiralling crime rate reflects our inconsistency in the destruction of the monster called corruption. Imagine children playing with stepfather’s weapon, legal or illegal? Then a shot pierces the valley, a child drops dead. This is the climax of lawbreaking, indiscipline and missing fathers. The problems are so deep and pervasive; consequently we must be clinical, consistent and courageous. After May 24, who will defend the righteous who are being oppressed by the wicked? This calls for faith and courage, because ultimately light will triumph over darkness. After May 24, we have to deal with the decreasing amount of role models in the society. Think of the senior officer, a superintendent if you please, driving on the Priority Bus Route who refused to hand over his insurance. He fled the scene, leaving his permit behind.
What about the law and justice? We have to be clinical, consistent, and courageous. We have to do the research, get the facts and take the best actions in the interest of the country. What about the most horrific act for 2010, perhaps greater than any tragedy that took place in 2009? This was the fiery destruction of five members of the Douragh family. Already it has been suggested that politics may be splashed over the ocean of this bizarre murder. Hello there, children perished in the blaze, triggered by demon-possessed beasts in human form. After May 24, we would have to follow the biblical advice and resist false prophets who mislead and misinform leaders. Let us examine Matthew 24:23,
24:23. Then if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
There is a phenomenal example in the Bible involving King Saul and the witch of Endor. The king had outlawed witchcraft but he returned to her to get advice. This witch claimed to have the power to communicate with the dead, but in fact she was flirting with the devil. After this encounter, depressed Saul went to battle, perceiving that the spirit of God had left him and he committed suicide. His sons were also killed that day. Israel experienced a compound tragedy. After May 24, some religious leaders will have to repent for encouraging their members to vote along racial lines. O what a tangled web we weave, when we first set out to deceive. It is incredible that religious leaders who preach about grace and forgiveness would use the pulpit to propagate racism. Religious leaders must be instruments of healing and not political tools compromising spiritual principles and injecting hatred into their members.
After May 24, we would have to cope with the clinical reality of victims of abuse becoming abusers. After May 24, we would have to respond to the black male crisis. We would have to build a bridge between the hills of Laventille and the plains of Caroni. We have to proclaim the sanctity of life as we deal with the thorny issue of abortion. We are here to protect life, not to destroy it. Every child is appointed by God to perform a special function which is called the mission. Finally, speakers on the politi-cal platform must display a passion for injecting hope in our citizens!
'Vex' vote could see TNT moving in a catastrophic direction of further degradation. The xisiting opposition parties are sitting in the best position because what is presently ruling is taking a lot of 'heat' and major discontentment is apparent.
However the electorates could simply vote out the ruler in his constituency riding; rule out the minister of security and let's move on from there.
When allyuh go in that booth THINK twice as to whether or not these so call opposition parities are selling you a bag of hot air and fruitless promises.

That my BROTHERS AND SISTERS IS THE REASON why people voting. Wednesday we go try and figure out what the hell Kamla and her posse up too. And in 6 months call another elections. By then the coalition mash up because Warner find Assam tiefin the money faster dan he.
'Vex' vote could see TNT moving in a catastrophic direction of further degradation. The xisiting opposition parties are sitting in the best position because what is presently ruling is taking a lot of 'heat' and major discontentment is apparent.
However the electorates could simply vote out the ruler in his constituency riding; rule out the minister of security and let's move on from there.
When allyuh go in that booth THINK twice as to whether or not these so call opposition parities are selling you a bag of hot air and fruitless promises.
Right now AB people just fed up and doh give ah ass what Kamla and her posse planning for the nation. People just want Manning OUT. And they will tell you in your face, that they voting for the coalition just to get Manning out. Simple!
Simple as u say wit all d free education peeps dunce no tail. So Manning gone all will b well. I will neva 4get when manning came 2 power in 1991 he give dem back deh 10% but Income Tax went up 2 35% mankind cuss. Then Panday tell dem a debt is a debt and it must b paid in cash is when Manning get back in power d arreas was settle so let dem get rid ah Manning and we will b dancin in d streets from d 31st give she ahwk 2 put d kitchen cabinet 2gether.
For those who doh support nun ah dem... ah cayr do that because their is no such thing as "nun ah dem" when yuh voting... One of the top 3 will win... and go on to run de country... if I had it my way I would still have the NAR... but this is wishful thinking..!
come on NAR in modern language is spelt COP.
Listen in my view, if an Indian had taken over the PNM, their base would not have accepted that - simple. Imagine is indian making most use of the pnmistic ways and benefiting behind the scenes and the african base didn't/doesnt mind that, but if an Indian take over leadership then it will be right up in their faces and that was/is unacceptable.
true dat.
Bullshit ... ribbit you never fail to disappoint. Viewed strictly through the lens of race, it would have been a watershed moment for the country, and possibly a favourable tipping point. There would have been no revolt of the masses because of the circumstances under which the transition would have occurred.
On a level it's difficult to distill the 80s political climate from the vantage point of hindsight and the vitriol of the political climate 30 years on, but the polarity and invective of present circumstances were unfamiliar then. It very well may have been a poor call by the powers that be (from the perspective of long-term political implications) to usher in Mr. Chambers.
Then again ... me eh know, I din have no Japanese garden in my backyard. ;)
Not so sure that it is bullshit you know. The PNM had a great propensity to discriminate against Hindus, and while Kamal was NOT a hindu, you must remember that indians were bottom of the socio-economic ladder.
There was an interesting occurrence when lots of Indians boycotted the polls and PNM under Eric Williams swept every seat in the election. Do you know what caused this to happen?

Come on man... allyuh criticism of any and everything 'government' bordering on the irrational now. How feasible is it for a government Minister... or even a delegate to go out and visit every needy person in TnT when a letter from that person can easily get the ball rolling? Besides, anybody can stage a picture... as well they can lie in a letter, but at least with a letter you have their words to use against them in case the lie ever gets uncovered. With just a picture it may be harder to prove a deliberate attempt to mislead.

You don't seem to understand that it is not about whether all will be well with the country when manning out. The fact of the matter is no one wants to give that swell headed idiot and his acolytes any kind of caution for his (their) misguided delusions of grandeur, blatant disregard to the concerns of the citizenry, and complete refusal to accept the error of their ways.
What you have is an (essentially with a few notable exceptions) popular (or at least populist) policy being implemented by a decidedly unpopular government.
Is not just Manning have to go: I would throw Marlene, Emily, Colm, Martin, Conrad, Karen, Hazel (and possibly Amery) under the bus as well. Is just that getting rid of Patos is the fastest way to get that clearing out done - all ah them could lose their seat and then still get put back as senator ministers (Martin, Conrad, Emily and Hazel not even going up)
now if only the coalition didn't make me steups every other hour I wouldn't be flipping this coin...

Yuh true colours does show durin adversity so dem was racist all d time. So duck dem from tue.
Touches, iz long time i tellin allyuh TNT divided! when i was there it had nayger coolie and whitey neighborhood!Just Cool, where in the great USA you will find any of those things ya mention there
in tobago man still carrying feelings for trinis, if yuhs ah trini and yuh go there for wuk, ppl does be grumbling bout " how dis trini come here juss so and get wuk before we". big man watching lil boy and cussin yuh BC yuh from trinidad saying " allyuh trini does feel allyuh better than we, and allyuh doh recognize we!".
i remember the last time i visit family there, i went tuh get ah rental and every company blank meh, then meh cousin went and get approval from every rental company, and he wasn't familiar with ah single company.
is yrs TNT ppl divided like dat, me eh surprise! the thing yuh describe with the free maxi and $200 bribe eh nutten new, back in the days that was dubbed as rum and roti politics, donkey yrs now!
in the end, dem dummies would put the incumbent party back in power BC trinis are only interested in instant gratification! these ppl have no clue as to what the issues are and even more clueless in regard to long term benefits.
i would really like yuh see TNT cleaned up, and ah greater effort to curb crime and the eradication of gangs on the whole!
i would also like tuh see @ least ah TNT appealant court, and ah revamping of the justice system, no more privy council! and i was really pleased tuh hear kamla address this as one of her priorities.
patos on the other hand failed terribly in this regard! he didn't give ah galant effort towards pressing quality of life domestic issues, crime, inflation, basic infrastructure such as accessable water and sewage upgrades (in house running water and bathrooms).
imagine in this day and age ppl still bathing by stand pipes, bringing water and sharing one solitary latrine! in ah country with billions and billions of annual revenue! that's simply ridiculous and unacceptable!
i say give the coalition ah chance, after all, they cyar do no worst than what's being done/ not being done, and we need new ideas.

i have been listening to both sides of d platform and i cant say i have heard anything concrete plan from d coalition. other than free laptops for d children, what else d coalition comin wid? what is there vision? instead of kamla singing on d platform like if is a blasted talent show, she should talk about what d coalition plan to do. break down d manifesto, let us know what u intend to do and how yuh intend to do it.I tend to accept this view
ppl gettin tie up, manning eh go be there forever. colm, martin, hazel, dem eh go be there forever. as rowley say, vote not for who u like but vote for d policies pursued in your interest. pnm make mistakes, yes, but in terms of solid governance, pnm outweigh d coalition any day. my two cents

Manning make me hate PNM, i was a PNM supporter all my life. but sometimes u have to let go of the PNM till i die shit, and open yuh eyes to the truth. Fact is Manning play ass the past few years, arrogant bitch. One thing is for certain, if i had to vote, is not the PNM i voting for, i rather not vote than to vote he in again. Manning is the face of PNM, like it or not. i doh have crystal ball or patience to wait for he to step down. When people suffering all around me.
/END RANT -_- steam blown... carry on folks.
The problem with not voting for the PNM is that the alternative looks much worst!
Plus I can't stand the thought of Jack getting his claws on our treasury after what he did to our World Cup Warriors!
Unfortunately Kamal & the UNC not yet ready to govern T&T and look after our interest especially with Jackula as their chairman, sad but true!
The problem with not voting for the PNM is that the alternative looks much worst!
its called "Pnm til ah dead"..dont matter the opposition :DThe problem with not voting for the PNM is that the alternative looks much worst!
I really doh understand how people could say things like this. but that's just me.

No its called following what the candidates and parties are presenting and using your brain as to which is the least worst alternative!
I doh live or vote in T&T and in fact I have never voted for PNM so my view has nothing to do with PNM till ah head!
You also ignored my obsevation of the alternative so maybe you want Jack hands on T&T's treasury but I don't!
Sorry!!
its called "Pnm til ah dead"..dont matter the opposition :DThe problem with not voting for the PNM is that the alternative looks much worst!

I guess you haven't been following the elections and what the parties have been presenting as their future plans and policies via C-TV and TV6 like I have been doing!The problem with not voting for the PNM is that the alternative looks much worst!

I don't live in T&T and recently voted in the UK elections so I have trained myself to listen to what the opposing parties are presenting as policies rather than looking at the personalities of the leaders.
Yes we can all agree that PNM can do better but you know what, the alternative looks much worst based upon my observations and what they have been presenting
People say that under Manning's leadership, you see the kind of apathy and disregard for citizenry that leads to more corruption, disenfranchisement and frustration of the public. These words can be used to describe the feelings of some under the UNC administration as well. We cannot forget the scandals and acts of corruption perpetuated under Panday's leadership.
But Manning will only go as far as we allow him - even those that surround him in the PNM must be made of sterner stuff and have the balls to stand up for what is right even if it means being unpopular and sidelined etc. It means that we have to get up off our laurels and instead of writing here on random thoughts, start writing letters to the editor, our parliamentarians, local government ministers, church leaders etc. Nobody can make us do anything without our explicit consent; that is the simple/profound truth.
If we would only spend time, attention and sufficient effort to raise people who are able to do the right thing...regardless...in our families, schools, communities etc, then we would see an improvement in the actions of our 'governement'. Remember that the 'government' is simply a microcosm of the wider society. If we want

Remember that the 'government' is simply a microcosm of the wider society. If we want there to be more honest, fair-minded, ethical members of government, then we have to create that society, because it is the society that produces the government, not the other way around.
I don't believe in a top-down approach to society building; the power lies with the people. Some 41 members of society in 'government' do not have the power over you me or you to decide how we will live our lives. They don't decide for you if you want to be hardworking or lazy, ethical or dishonest, fair-minded or foul, loyal to country or not, safe on the roads, or speed like a damn maniac, put on your seat-belt or 'text' while driving, drive sober or as drunk as a fish1.
When will we take personal responsibility and stop trying to use Patrick Manning as an excuse for all ills!!"
But Manning will only go as far as we allow him - even those that surround him in the PNM must be made of sterner stuff and have the balls to stand up for what is right even if it means being unpopular and sidelined etc.

Weary and that happenin when?
If T&T people foolish enough to let Jack have access to their treasury then I am sure his investment in funding the UNC for this elections will be well rewarded by himself to himself many times over!!

its remarkable how blind people can be and ignore rampant corruption and still vote the same party back in, to me its not about governance with some on this board, its about race and they afraid to admit it.
when the unc under panday were found for their corruption, many individuals on this very board condemned it and made a big deal about it, now that the current admin have been found in even bigger corruption, there is silence.
that to me shows race is their main motivating factor in their decision. thank god i come from a mixed family, where i could point out right and wrong from both races and make a fair judgement as to which party actually or leader is a better bet for the nation.
Campaign 2010: The ugly side
Clevon Raphael
Published: 19 May 2010
Clevon Raphael
Judgment day is just five days away. By this time next week a new government should be in place and all election activities would have abated with the country well on the way to breathing once again.
Today we are looking at some aspects of the campaign, the savoury and the unsavoury, so far. On top of the list, I am afraid, is the race card which, unfortunately, is playing out particularly in one party, even though there are some who would say this ugly phenomenon is being abused by all the parties. I beg to disagree and the offending people know who exactly they are. All you racist politicians who are proud of sowing your politics of hate and fear, you may try as you might but racist tendencies would never triumph over the love that we all have for our country. The racial bogey was somewhat tackled head-on after the 1986 NAR victory but unfortunately the experience did not go the full course and today we still have to contend with those of that ilk peddling their sick minds among the population. Thank God they are in the minority, although one racist is one too many.
It is pathetic to hear otherwise bright Trinis—one assumes they are—saying they cannot vote for this or that candidate because of their ethnic origin. I respect anyone who says they are unable to give their franchise to a particular party because they do not like its policies and things of the kind. However, I have been literally chasing away those who come to me with tribal crap because I firmly believe that we as a people are on the way to doing away with racial voting and to push that doltish head in 2010 is hypocritical and retrogressive. The results of the May 24 exercise would show how far we are really on the road to eliminating naked tribalism on voting day. Another aspect of the campaign I find very distasteful are the personal insults being hurled at various candidates by their opposite numbers. It is indeed silly and unproductive for supposedly intelligent men and women who are begging us to put them as leaders of the nation to be engaged in such unbelievable verbal abuse simply because they do not belong to the same political party.
Again this particular party started this unpleasant trend and, although not on the same degree, the favour was returned by platform speakers of the other major party. What does some woman allegedly trying look like the wife of the American President have to do with providing us with good governance for the next five years and beyond? How does describing one candidate with links to a rodent contribute to providing citizens with amenities and facilities we all expect from a government? Picong is a normal part of politicking and is good fare on the campaign trail but there are limits that decent people who are setting up themselves as potential leaders should go in their quest for high public office. Much ado has been made by the PNMites of the tearing up of their manifesto, which to me was another attempt by that party to divert attention, no matter how limited, from the real campaign issues. One of them went so far as to say it would encourage disrespect among the citizenry for authority. As if to say the attacks could be more ridiculous, another ventured that Kamla’s action could also influence people to commit acts of violence. Tut tut...
On Sunday night we were treated to an interview with the Prime Minister and although I have certain thoughts about that event, I would keep them private from the standpoint of being a journalist myself. However, one response by Mr Manning cannot be left unchallenged, which is when he said the initials “PM” on the drawings of the controversial Heights of Guanapo church could mean “project manager.” Manning is no architect or anywhere near other professions associated with the construction industry. But as someone intimately involved in the vast expenditure of state funds on mega construction projects, the Prime Minister by now should be familiar with at least some of the elementary terms in the sector. Additionally, he should know that a project manger only comes on the scene after a contract has been signed. I am not saying the Prime Minister told a blatant lie when he said “PM” could have meant project manger but one thing is definitely certain: we haven’t by any stretch of the imagination heard the last of this controversial church-building project.
At this time it is reasonable to assume that most voters have already made up their minds and are just waiting on next Monday to perform their civic duty. I am in that group and I am urging all who enjoy that privilege not to take their duty lightly. If you are going to vote on sentimentality or any other such vacuous reasons you might as well forget it. Voting is serious business and we must carefully weigh all the options given on the campaign trail and the news media to make intelligent choices.
The country’s future is at stake.

that to me shows race is their main motivating factor in their decision. thank god i come from a mixed family, where i could point out right and wrong from both races and make a fair judgement as to which party actually or leader is a better bet for the nation.
So you's de only one here come from ah mixed family? You's de only one God bless with impartiality tuh call right from wrong? Why yuh doh hush yuh ass and give yuh bowels ah rest.
QuoteBut Manning will only go as far as we allow him - even those that surround him in the PNM must be made of sterner stuff and have the balls to stand up for what is right even if it means being unpopular and sidelined etc.
Weary and that happenin when?
People say that under Manning's leadership, you see the kind of apathy and disregard for citizenry that leads to more corruption, disenfranchisement and frustration of the public. These words can be used to describe the feelings of some under the UNC administration as well. We cannot forget the scandals and acts of corruption perpetuated under Panday's leadership.
But Manning will only go as far as we allow him - even those that surround him in the PNM must be made of sterner stuff and have the balls to stand up for what is right even if it means being unpopular and sidelined etc. It means that we have to get up off our laurels and instead of writing here on random thoughts, start writing letters to the editor, our parliamentarians, local government ministers, church leaders etc. Nobody can make us do anything without our explicit consent; that is the simple/profound truth.
If we would only spend time, attention and sufficient effort to raise people who are able to do the right thing...regardless...in our families, schools, communities etc, then we would see an improvement in the actions of our 'governement'. Remember that the 'government' is simply a microcosm of the wider society. If we want

Remember that the 'government' is simply a microcosm of the wider society. If we want there to be more honest, fair-minded, ethical members of government, then we have to create that society, because it is the society that produces the government, not the other way around.
I don't believe in a top-down approach to society building; the power lies with the people. Some 41 members of society in 'government' do not have the power over you me or you to decide how we will live our lives. They don't decide for you if you want to be hardworking or lazy, ethical or dishonest, fair-minded or foul, loyal to country or not, safe on the roads, or speed like a damn maniac, put on your seat-belt or 'text' while driving, drive sober or as drunk as a fish1.
When will we take personal responsibility and stop trying to use Patrick Manning as an excuse for all ills!!"

serious question(for anyone who wants to answer): what do you think can reasonably be expected to get worse (or better) if the PNM didn't win the election?
Or maybe you mean, within the PNM?
I don't know who going to win, but I would like to believe that if the PNM lose they will come under new leadership in the relatively short-term future.
y would/should he go if he have the support?

The UNC neglected Teachers Training Colleges. The PNM spent significantly to improve them and even increased the entry requirements of the service.
Technical/Vocational training. They neglected or discontinued social programmes that assisted young people in this area.
The UNC stalled the passage of Police reform bills and anti money laundering legislation.
But Manning is a dictator so those things don't matter.

This is a real desperate move by ALL opposition parties to come together, no matter what their current stance is, just to get rid of the PNM

Noted.
I think in particular that Kamla wasn't a very good Minister of Education.
@ Cana, girl I'm not sure how that fella came about his results, but he did say he's not a pollster so I guess that explains a lot.
In the absence of the great NACTA poll ::) ::), the next best thing I found was a poll Hamid Ghany did for CNMG. He focused on the marginals. The ones I caught were
San Juan/Barataria - People's Partnership
Tunapuna - trending People's Partnership
Lopinot/Bon Air West - trending people's partnership ??? ???
St. Joseph - Too close to call.
Dr. Ghany said it was interesting that the poll was able to pick up at least a result and trends in the other marginals but St. Joseph was too close to call. I know the reason; HERBERT VOLNEY.....I'm willing to bet if he was not the candidate for the opposition that seat would have been won already.....
There was one other marginal in Trinidad that he discussed but I can't remember which one. I remember that it was trending People's Partnership and it raised my eyebrows...
He said Tobago West is looking like it would be won by the TOP while Tobago East is too close to call.....which is really strange because I always felt that if the TOP won at least one Tobago seat it would be the East seat with a fight for the West....hhhhhmmmm....

i didnt see you riding in on your horse when another poster agreed with me.
im merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the board and some of its posters, i support neither party, in fact to let you know how radical i am, i would vote njac every time above all the other parties. So you shouldnt be asking me the question of whether my statement is legitimate, you should ask the others who profess to want a non corrupt regime whether they are true to the improvement and prosperity of the nation.
i have no hesitation in pointing out the corruption of any party, especially the current unc, but they are not in office, nor are they faced with corruption charges while governing.
nor is it an endorsement of the party, i am merely an onlooker observing posters behaviors who claim to be unbiased. but in turn endorse a party whose corruption was uncovered, yet the same individuals acted much differently under other circumstances.

McLeod: Turn Guanapo church into jail
Sascha Wilson
Published: 21 May 2010
Sascha Wilson
People’s Partnership candidate for Pointe-a-Pierre, Errol McLeod, has hinted that if it is proven state funds were used to build the controversial church on the Heights of Guanapo, it would be turned into a jail, if the party comes into power.
Speaking Wednesday night at a political meeting at Palmiste Park, McLeod said: “We are being told that the jails are filled to capacity. “I am sure one of the projects that seriously needs investigating is the Guanapo project, and when we find out for sure, when we confirm that indeed the building for Guanapo was credited to the palace, we are going to spend another $20 to $30 million to put jail facilities in Guanapo,” he said.
He also said they would put legislation, if necessary, to ensure migrant labourers were not employed at the expense of local workers and labourers. He also said they were committed to taking to opening training facilities for youths. He said there was a large percentage of the work force which were unskilled. “T&T used to supply welders, as we supply oil men, to Saudia Arabia. They were trained right here.”

McLeod: Turn Guanapo church into jail
Sascha Wilson
Published: 21 May 2010
Sascha Wilson
People’s Partnership candidate for Pointe-a-Pierre, Errol McLeod, has hinted that if it is proven state funds were used to build the controversial church on the Heights of Guanapo, it would be turned into a jail, if the party comes into power.
Speaking Wednesday night at a political meeting at Palmiste Park, McLeod said: “We are being told that the jails are filled to capacity. “I am sure one of the projects that seriously needs investigating is the Guanapo project, and when we find out for sure, when we confirm that indeed the building for Guanapo was credited to the palace, we are going to spend another $20 to $30 million to put jail facilities in Guanapo,” he said.
He also said they would put legislation, if necessary, to ensure migrant labourers were not employed at the expense of local workers and labourers. He also said they were committed to taking to opening training facilities for youths. He said there was a large percentage of the work force which were unskilled. “T&T used to supply welders, as we supply oil men, to Saudia Arabia. They were trained right here.”
Steups this party is ALL about the country ent...First the prime minister's residence going to be turned into an orphanage, now this clown talking about turning some church into a jail...They not ready yet..
So wait Ato Boldon being a UNC supporter or senator making the PNM die hards in here upset ? :Dnot is my case
i have a question.. can a political party use state resources for election campaigning?
because i getting first hand reports of people getting calls from private numbers asking for them by name, then asking if they will be voting back PNM in power.
then friends of mine getting letters in the mail from candidate addressing them by name and talking to them as youth obviously knowing their ages. where do they get this info?
The church on the hill and public integrity
Selwyn Ryan
Friday, May 21st 2010
Integrity - who has or does not have it - featured prominently in the election discourse. This preoccupation was sparked by the UDeCOTT Inquiry and Mr Manning’s refusal to distance himself from Mr Hart on the ground that the proper thing to do was to wait until the Commission had submitted its report. There was, however, widespread suspicion that there was more in the mortar than the pestle.
But the imperatives of the election campaign and the publication of documents sourced by the COP from the Malaysian authorities which indicated that Mr Hart had a case of perjury to answer prompted the Prime Minister to try and put some distance between himself and Mr Hart.
As he declared on the campaign trail, ’I cannot support breaches of integrity in the Government or anywhere else, and I don’t.
The one thing people know about me is that I stand for integrity and I have always stood for integrity in the conduct of public affairs. And the minute anybody breaches the codes of conduct and standards of integrity that are expected of persons in public office, they stand on their own. And if they have a case to answer, we will ensure that they have a fair trial and they will answer before the courts’.
Mr Manning’s behaviour in respect of UDeCOTT, however, suggests that there was some dark reason why he was reluctant to fire Hart or ask him to fall on his sword. He claimed, somewhat disingenuously, in a controversial ’interview’, that Mr Hart was attracting unfair and undeserved public criticism because he was a member of the PNM. He however conceded that Mr Hart may have done certain things without paying sufficient attention to process, and that he may have ’cut corners’ to get certain projects completed.

die HARD, UNC:devil:
There are two parties going up for election.
One party has been in power for the last eight years~. And most if all would tend to agree that present course that nation has taken is not the right one.... and we must change. The second party going up for election formed the government for ~ 6 years prior before the current party came to power. Now this party had a checkered tenure in gov't and is accused of some underhand act ivies very similar to what the current govt is being accused off.
It is safe to say that both parties are less than desirable. However the party in opposition has elected a new leader and claims to be offering an avenue for change, yet their manifesto does not show how this change is going to come about.
So now comes the decision should I vote for the existing gov't, some would call them lesser of two evils, even though I disagree with their policies, the same policies will continue if they are elected.
Or should I vote for the party who has plans I know little off?
Should we tend to gravitate towards the opposition despite the unanswered questions on their policies. Because we don't want 5 more years of the existing gov't and their policies. Choose the promise of something different, a promise that may end up broken.
Is it possible to think of one’s vote not as an endorsement for one, but instead the disapproval of the other?

Darn vex but still supporting the PNM
Published: 22 May 2010
I have told many of my friends that I am vex, darn vex, but I am still supporting the PNM and they have all inquired of me if that means that I am not supporting Patrick Manning and my unequivocal answer is “of course, he is the leader of the PNM, and I must accept the good, the bad and the ugly and whosoever is the leader must be accepted by all supporters of the PNM.” I am vex because the PM called the election when he had two and a half years to put all actual/perceived wrongs right. I am vex because Manning’s style of leadership has alienated hundreds if not thousands of his supporters. But I am supporting the PNM because it is the only party on the horizon capable of handling the diversity in terms of ethnicity in this country.
If the PNM cannot properly manners Laventille and other hot spots it will be worse for the UNC/Partnership. And the PNM is slowly but sincerely evolving into a real multiracial party from the bottom up. The East Indians have benefited tremendously under the governance of the PNM. All together there are hundreds of thousands of East Indian teachers, lawyers, doctors, judicial officers, public servants, successful businessmen in T&T etc. But I would like to see an ethnic balance (more East Indians) in the armed forces, that is, the police, army, coast guard. There are many other things I would like to see implemented but we will deal with those after May 24.
I support the PNM because it is a unitary party, well structured and disciplined with a democratic/socialist political ideology, that is, mixed capitalism with a social welfare net for the have-nots. The PNM has promoted and perfected the fundamental rights to worship, join political parties of one’s choice, freedom of the press and free speech. There are no political prisoners in this country. But in spite of this Manning has made victory at the polls very difficult at this point in time. Who-soever wins this election will do so by not more that one or two seats. It could be PNM 20, UNC/COP 20, TOP one. I say so because in my own home the potential voters have different preferences.
My wife supports the view that a woman Prime Minister will be better for the country, one of my sons wants to see Dookeran in Parliament but not the UNC/accommodation, and another could not care less who governs this country. It is the same khaki pants as far as he is concerned.
Say what, life goes on after the election. We all have to live in this country. But this election has demonstrated that the people of this country have good and decent hearts. Look at the crossover to the UNC and the PNM. Thousands of East Indians are supporting the PNM while thousands of Africans are supporting the UNC. The other tribes’ political support is shared between the UNC and the PNM. This is a good sign and I say that in spite of all our problems; this country has a bright future.
See you after the elections.

Me...i just watching as men jump outta dey crease with dey dotish talk. One positive i could take from all dis is dat yuh get to see what people truly made of.
I was thinking doh....
Why manning really allow dah UDECOTT scene to play off? Especially after he pop franklyn khan and eric williams neck...and was moving like he taking a hard line against corruption?
De only thing i could think of...is due to the summits...that he wanted dem buildings finish.....under the rationale that those summits would raise the country's profile.....and bring in investments.
Buh if dahs de case...he still handle it bad.
Buh....leh me dress back and observe as de race element comes stronger and stronger. Who walking in government office and telling who dat dey time up. Who cussing de nex one.
I tell yuh...i feel dis time dis place go explode. Seriously.

Is dispensation of the unc going to be different maybe......................but in my view d general sentiment of your support dont be to far from yuh own, even if not outwardly set forth.
i is an indian cause i backing unc? u feel negros eh voting unc too....steups..midnight....u wasting yourbreathfinger tips on the ppl in this forum.......

Sammy,
Just a question, do you care to share some of your experiences about this suffering you are experiencing?
And I hope you don't think im being facetious, i just think of my own situation. Where i was 10 years ago and where i am now. I was never the recipient of any government handout other than the public utilities that everybody else gets. I went to school, i was able to graduate and acquire employment, i am trying to start my own business on the side. Everything aint perfect but at the same time i think of what i was able to achieve by my own valition and efforts and to ensure that i will not suffer myself in any undue way. If you presensent your case i will accept that. Please don't try to include other persons experiences in your case.
I want to know what are your own sufferings.
Me...i just watching as men jump outta dey crease with dey dotish talk. One positive i could take from all dis is dat yuh get to see what people truly made of.that easy. When they came into power they had to act and perform well, cause they knew that they was out of govmt for a while, but as time passed by, they realised the vibes of the ppl is that they PMN t.i.d. so they didnt have to do squat anymore. simple imagine what going to happen if they win again?
I was thinking doh....
Why manning really allow dah UDECOTT scene to play off? Especially after he pop franklyn khan and eric williams neck...and was moving like he taking a hard line against corruption?
i is an indian cause i backing unc? u feel negros eh voting unc too....steups..midnight....u wasting yourbreathfinger tips on the ppl in this forum.......

All very unfortunate.
However, something frightens me more than asshole supporters...
Asshole leaders.
haha your funny to read, up to now you havent addressed the other hypocrites on the board, special my a%$, you try to target individuals you personally dont like and you never addressed the other poster, every comment was directed to me, wheel and come again, your senseless mind games not working on me, your sounding more convoluted than educated.
once again this is not an endorsement of uncop, but yet you claim that i am an avid supporter, it seems like my comments hit home with you bc in your mind your vote is already decided or else you wouldnt be trying to attack like a rot when yuh only meowing.
it seems as though, only one party is a sinner, maybe you should be the man to caste the first stone. the only problem with that is the current admin is under fire, from what i remember unc not in power, but of course you cant point out the corruption of pnm bc you will be accused of being a supporter of the unc and chastised.
no wonder tt going down the drain.
Lefty, ah know it not easy, but at the end of the day you have to realize that both parties will have die hard supporters that leave a lot to desire, but you are not voting for the supporters you voting for who you want to represent you in parliament. Who is going to seek your interest? Do you believe that is now the PNM because some UNC supporters hurled racial slurs at you?
good joke har har..i know there are racists on both sides but for you to say the opposite is no where that nasty makes me wonder...we even have posters coming in here making comments along the lines of "I hope dem coolies eat grass" in regards to who chooses what political party.....and I am not even indian but of course still find that disrespectful..

The point was not to say that a Mr Imbert and Mrs Browne equals a J. Warner or Volney, simply to point out that there are undesirables in each party.All very unfortunate.

Sammy,
Just a question, do you care to share some of your experiences about this suffering you are experiencing?
And I hope you don't think im being facetious, i just think of my own situation. Where i was 10 years ago and where i am now. I was never the recipient of any government handout other than the public utilities that everybody else gets. I went to school, i was able to graduate and acquire employment, i am trying to start my own business on the side. Everything aint perfect but at the same time i think of what i was able to achieve by my own valition and efforts and to ensure that i will not suffer myself in any undue way. If you presensent your case i will accept that. Please don't try to include other persons experiences in your case.
I want to know what are your own sufferings.
1. Long wait at the hospital & inadequate facilities
2. Getting stressed out having to sit at traffic lights and wait in line while ppl come allong side me and cut in making me miss the light. Where are the police?
3. Not being free to roam the country while feeling safe.
4. Thinking i was earning a good salary only to realise that the high food prices making it smaller and smaller
5. raise in gas prices
6. poor roads causing me to constantly repair the car
7.having to listen to news everyday and ppl getting killed and no-one being put in jail for it
8. The paranoia of knowing that one day the oil will run out and we have no alternatives to bring money into the country
9. the paranoia knowing that we wasting we farm land and cant feed ourselves.
10.having multiple drug blocks around my neighborhood
11.the stress from hearing bout the billions lost from cost overruns on state projects
12.the stress of knowing tat we host summit and only we Project Manger signed the treaty
13.Poor water supply and quality
14.High electricity price
15.the stress from watching the ruling party blatantly disregard the law on more than one occasions
16.the anger from watching a whole gang of CEPEP ppl come to clean the clean part of the drain in front my house whilst leaving the dirty part.
17. worst of all, having to watch the arrogance of the PM and his croonies when they address us, and when they dont answer questions placed by the ooposition.
I dunno, maybe these things does only happen to me yes......cause the way u talk, these "sufferings" not applicable to u

Thanks for responding,
Your greviances are your greviances, i will make no attempt to down play or reduce them as you cited them as relative to you, especially when it comes to the safety of yourself and possibly ones in your care.
I can only speak for myself having lived both here and the US for a period of time and it has given me a kind of perspective based on my experience.
I've never been subject to crime here but i've been robbed at gunpoint twice in washington dc
I get my garbage picked up in trini everyday here but in the US it's only done once a week
I've had an accident in the US that i had to go to hospital in an ambulance. Think of me a student facing a 1,500USD medical bill. I got swift healthcare but ask anybody in trini to pay equivalent for that.
We marvel at first world societies but the things we don't like about them are the same exact things that make them first world.
I've learnt in this life that nowhere is perfect, and while its not an excuse on any government's part for not delivering services that a government should. But i find folks seem to complain conveniently, all the things you cite will probably will not change after this election regardless who forms the next government. Hence i believe its a personal responsibility to ensure that you do what you have to do to make your existance in our country and by extension this world as comfortable as possible .
But we have our franchise to vote for who we think will do the best job of government and i will exercise my right, after that i let the chips fall where they may. I have my opinions on how things should be done in the country but who knows if what i think will work. Government is simply a bunch of individuals like you and me who will have their own ideas on how a country should be run and as in most things in life, somethings will work well, others will work not so well, and others won't work at all. Collective assesment will determine whether they get to continue or whether another set of individuals will get a chance.
You say that these sufferings i cited may not applicable to me. Well, i can't say that they don't. I read the news and suffer the same woes of traffic and cost of living etc. I guess i just deal with them in a different way. I not living my life to be unhappy and stressed over things i can't control. If a man decide to use the shoulder while i sit in the traffic, well he may get away once or twice or more. But there is the chance that he may get caught and will have to pay 1,000 dollars when i know for a fact that I won't.
My only criticism of our people is that we sometimes fail to understand that a working government is all of us. We all have our roles to play in our different spheres to shape the society and I think that is where we need to educate and challenge each other. If every father does what a father is supposed to do, we would not have the level of crime that we have now. Is it the government's role to be the father in a home? We complain about flooding but when we see fellow citizens litter indiscriminantly we turn a blind eye (yes me too). I believe if someone feels strongly enough about how things are being run, or not being run. They will offer themselves up, deliver their ideologies and hope that their message is accepted.
Yea i'm laughing too
All this set of back and forth, back and forth. Anyone of allyuh pundits know why we are having an early elections YET???
Come Tuesday next week, its a continuation of the same assness - doesn't matter if it's the same people or ah coalition. Same assness will happen. Some of allyuh doing like it will be the dawning of a new beginning. Try and remember is the same set of recycled politicians.
All these policies/promises will come and meet we still pending whenever next elections is called.
Race? Man fack face, all ah allyuh hafta to live and work with each other STILL.

I agree that both parties have expressed overconfidence.The PNM however has used the words 'if they win then .......' fairly often as part of their scare tactics. Rowley in his second address to Diego Martin even said 'it is possible that we might lose.' He repeated these words at another public meeting at Five Rivers Junction where he along with Fitzgerald Hinds supported Neil Parsanlal.The PNM will the election and there will be a great deal of bitterness to follow. I wouldn't use the word 'explode' like Bourbon but there will be real venom for weeks to come.
U know if dey did not behave like dey win it ahready u know like Anil say dey win ah ready dey would b no need 4 venom. They would just say hard luck and lets keep d govt honest. But nah dem go b bitter as gawl because dey eh want d best 4 TNT. Dey go continue 2 oppose evryting even legislaion dey propose like d police bills.

since no one is willing to answer that question can i offer my theory and then people can come here and tell me why it is wrong?
I think that the current government and this prime minister, with the exposure of UDECOTT and the Guanapo church, is on the brink of getting caught red handed in serious acts of corruption.
Calling an early election allows them to quickly strangle the populace another 5 years of power before the political damage is suffered and before the opposition has a chance to organize itself and become a real option.
am i wrong?

it's sad that in less than 5 years we'll be in the same situation again, where emphasis will be placed on how straight your hair is and NOT what's really best for the individual and country. It's also sad that so much is based on hearsay and not real facts when people speak on this forum about why or not they support a party.
the few here who do vote and live in the mess that Trinidad and Tobago is.. good luck on Monday and beyond. It's easy for us afar to come on here and bray, but when it comes down to reality.. we cud care less who in charge and what they do, since it does not directly affect us.
Brothers and Sisters.. good luck.

Calling an early election allows them to quickly strangle the populace another 5 years of power before the political damage is suffered and before the opposition has a chance to organize itself and become a real option.
am i wrong?
Lefty, ah know it not easy, but at the end of the day you have to realize that both parties will have die hard supporters that leave a lot to desire, but you are not voting for the supporters you voting for who you want to represent you in parliament. Who is going to seek your interest? Do you believe that is now the PNM because some UNC supporters hurled racial slurs at you?
Which would be people like Jack Warner... and Herbert Volney.
maybe we should get ppl from jack constituency and find out what kind of rep he is?
All this set of back and forth, back and forth. Anyone of allyuh pundits know why we are having an early elections YET???prophetess? is that u??? ;D
Come Tuesday next week, its a continuation of the same assness - doesn't matter if it's the same people or ah coalition. Same assness will happen. Some of allyuh doing like it will be the dawning of a new beginning. Try and remember is the same set of recycled politicians.
All these policies/promises will come and meet we still pending whenever next elections is called.
Race? Man fack face, all ah allyuh hafta to live and work with each other STILL.
Overheard in the Four Roads Hi-Lo supermarket last week: “Boy, yuh make up yuh mind yet? Make sure yuh vote for we or dey go send we back to Africa.” The speaker was an elderly pensioner talking to another.
logoThis election was always about race. Even if scientists say there is no such thing, anecdotes trump research any time. I had intended to repeat the litany of woes about the present Manning administration: lack of governance; the hundreds of millions wasted on grand-charging at summits; empty skyscrapers; kidnappings which the Government thinks is a joke; The failure to stop the 3,000 murders and the unspoken fear that the ruling party was part of it through its dealings with “community leaders;” Cepep; Udecott and the Uff Commission of Enquiry; Calder Hart and his unbelievable closeness to the Prime Minister; perjury allegations that have gone nowhere; Rowley’s accusations and flip flop;
Political interference with the appointments of the Commissioner of Police and the Director of Public Prosecution; the illegal coat-of-arms on the PM’s car; the condition of President’s House; the Integrity Commission debacles; the indecent dependency on foreign consultants and Chinese workers; candalous procurement processes; The hasty attempts to arrest a Chief Justice on a Friday afternoon; discrimination against the Maha Sabha in granting a FM radio broadcasting licence; the emasculation of the EMA; the illegal rally in Woodford Square under police protection whilst a motion against the Government was being debated across the street; the $2 million flag; the abandoned hospitals and health centres; The 30 per cent SEA failures year after year with no one knowing why; the lack of diversification of the economy whilst inviting foreign companies to exploit gas and oil under conditions unknown to most of the population; the squandering of oil and gas money for a second time, $300 billion gone; the deal with Abu Bakr prior to the 2002 election, as outlined by the Privy Council;
The inefficient Licensing Offices, District Revenue Offices, courts, Passport Office and ministries; the traffic; the enormity of corruption within the state-owned special purpose entities; the Tarouba stadium; the scholarship scandal involving the Ministry of Culture; NAPA; the Scarborough Hospital; the state-of-the-art radar that does not work; the three blimps; the fast-speed radar boats and the attack helicopters; the destruction of the Grand Stand and a large part of the Savannah; The crippling of the calypso tents; the ICC Cricket World Cup “brown bag“ fiasco; the desalination plants; the wonderful smelters; the berm at Beetham; a Minister of Finance and author of a book on ethics who did not understand the meaning of “fixed deposit;” Clico; The property tax; the “palace;” the bacchanal surrounding the Guanapo church and the threats to reporters investigating it; the blatant attempts to give the Government control over the judiciary as outlined by the present Chief Justice; The constitutional draft, written by unknowns, that would make the PM an “executive president” with control over everything, a la Burnham; the incom- prehensible security details and blaring sirens that we have had to tolerate in an island the size of a large American city; the surprise visit to the radio station; the insulting entrance into Mr Villafana’s property; the prophetess and the intrusion of religion into what is supposed to be a secular state.
Above all, the “gimme gimme dependency syndrome” the PNM has encouraged amongst its supporters and the pandering to the lowest common denominator, ie, race. Race equals group prejudice equals group politics in T&T. This sense of group functions along two important levels. One level involves the obvious dimension of domination, of hierarchical ordering and positioning as typified by the political cry: “Trinidad is PNM country.” A second critical level, however, involves a dimension of exclusion and inclusion, of socio-emotional embrace and rejection. “We culture.” This exclusion and inclusion dimension, again, invokes an emotional basis to the sense of group. Listen to the radio talk shows and hear the various tribes talk about “those people!” Race prejudice is a protective device. It functions, however shortsightedly, to preserve the integrity and the position of the dominant group, even if there is corruption, incompetence and lack of integrity.
It is race that is behind the commess that is going on in T&T, the tacit understanding that it is all gobar but that it is our gobar so it is all right. The righteous concerns within the PNM apparently have given in. That must change. Politics in T&T is a politics waiting to be broken. Until we recognise this, until we move away from race as the defining feature of our politics, we will struggle. The island is too small. From my reading of the issues, it is the present PNM party, molded in the image of one man, that is holding most to race. They have failed us. It is the coalition of parties that offers the best hope of escape from the politics of race. They may fail again but there is no alternative. I will support the People’s Partnership coalition next Monday.

Arouca/Maloney
Candidates: Alicia Hospedales, PNM and Anna Maria Mora, UNC-CoP Coalition.
Tough call. Alicia Hospedales is the incumbent. Anna Maria Mora is a strong contender with serious social intervention credibility. Expect a strong sympathy pull for Hospedales, who was doused in paint by a political dissenter, but Mora is well-known, capable and intelligent. I give her the nod.
Winner: Anna Maria Mora.
Barataria/San Juan
Candidates: Joseph Ross, PNM and Fuad Khan, UNC-CoP Coalition.
Wow. Barataria and San Juan should love Joseph Ross, except that he’s so utterly bland and when he’s not, so reflexively unlikable that Fuad Khan has a real shot at taking this one home. Both men sport likeable public smiles and Joseph Ross has been the public eye a lot as Minister of Tourism, except that may not actually turn out to be an asset if anyone remembers what he’s been saying.
Winner: Joseph Ross.
D’Abadie/O’Meara
Candidates: Karen Nunez-Teshiera, PNM and Anil Roberts, UNC-CoP Coalition.
Here are two people everybody knows. Anil may not be your cup of tea, but Karen’s a strong drink even for the experienced political imbiber.
Winner: Anil Roberts
Diego Martin North/East
Candidates: Colm Imbert, PNM and Garvin Nicholas, UNC-CoP Coalition.
If there’s anyone who’s more universally disliked than the Prime Minister in this election, it’s Colm Imbert, who is widely regarded as his facilitator in matters of public works. Nobody’s denying the value of the overpass and the water taxis executed under Imbert’s transport portfolio, but oh, the man sooo irritating.
Garvin’s largely a political unknown, despite contesting an election or two in the past, but he has one unerring advantage in Diego Martin North/East and that’s not being Colm Imbert.
Winner: Garvin Nicholas
San Fernando East
Candidates: Patrick Manning, PNM and Carol Cuffy-Dowlat, UNC-CoP Coalition.
I’m feeling a big upset here. The sentiments regarding the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Patrick Manning, are sharply polarised and this is where it will play out.
Winner: Carol Cuffy-Dowlat
St Anns East
Candidates: Joanne Thomas, PNM and Verna St Rose Greaves, UNC-CoP Coalition.
This should be a safe bet. St Anns East has been PNM since it was established except for Lincoln Myers’ tenure in the 1986 NAR sweep. I don’t think that will happen this year. Verna’s smart, persuasive and you don’t want her to shake her water bottle at you. No you don’t.
Winner: Verna St Rose Greaves
Yeah..... the exact opposite is going to happen in these seats. Pure rumtalk. I could also add Tobago West to the list.
is babash we jinking ;D
The PNM will the election and there will be a great deal of bitterness to follow. I wouldn't use the word 'explode' like Bourbon but there will be real venom for weeks to come.
U know if dey did not behave like dey win it ahready u know like Anil say dey win ah ready dey would b no need 4 venom. They would just say hard luck and lets keep d govt honest. But nah dem go b bitter as gawl because dey eh want d best 4 TNT. Dey go continue 2 oppose evryting even legislaion dey propose like d police bills.
Both parties are behaving like they win already. Since the campaign started is a setta "Next MP for" and "Next Prime Minister" talk. Grandcharging is par for the course.
No luv dat is rum talk is d way dey behave when u interact wit dem on d street/gas station etc. Anil say we win ahready.
Who de ass is dis "dem" and dis "we" I keep hearing bout?
i deciphered that code talk higher up already as seen through the eyes of the people who vex with the pnm but voting for them anyways...,.......them is indian which equals is UNC.....and we is negro which equals PNM.....

Hey I have a question.The UTT received accreditation locally and established affiliations with some major universities in the United States and Britain. I don't think they have international recognition as yet. I understand your point but I want to emphasize that UTT only started in 2003 and meaningful operations at around academic year 05/06. Moreover it should be noted that the intention is to train students for local industry.
The degrees received from the University of TnT or the other one (forgot name), are they recognized in north america or any other country? Not talking about those at Roytec and the Uwee.
I was reading some comments on a UNC/COP/TOP/ABC/MACO uhmm whatever else yes, forum and some of the people were saying that they were not. So now i'm wondering why not and does this make any damn sense to go to school and only have our degrees recognized in the Caribbean only?
Or are these people mis leading in their comments.
Hey I have a question.The other school is the University of the Southern Caribbean. Do not go to that school.

The point was not to say that a Mr Imbert and Mrs Browne equals a J. Warner or Volney, simply to point out that there are undesirables in each party.
Enjoy the wine , like a true trini the party does not start till midnight.
it was said more than once in "The General elections thread"..it was said by Daft Trini and one time Jumbie corrected him by saying.Quote"the whole indian this and negro this is what have the facking country where it is today. no responsibility for one's actions and bawl we deprived. time to get up and get... and take care of your own.
I juss facking fedup of the blatant disrespect for people on this forum."
dont know if he deleted the original statement or was the mods or deleted it..
Now no offense to de man (Daft Trini) and i am targeting him. I am just responding to your question..In fact Daft Trini went on further explain why he made that comment in that particular thread..
The PNM will the election and there will be a great deal of bitterness to follow. I wouldn't use the word 'explode' like Bourbon but there will be real venom for weeks to come.
U know if dey did not behave like dey win it ahready u know like Anil say dey win ah ready dey would b no need 4 venom. They would just say hard luck and lets keep d govt honest.

i deciphered that code talk higher up already as seen through the eyes of the people who vex with the pnm but voting for them anyways...,.......them is indian which equals is UNC.....and we is negro which equals PNM.....
not really..We is you and your peeps...and them is dem and they peeps
like in 95 when unc won, all over this country (except in tobago), yuh had written up on every available wall...'is we time now'...who was the 'we' then?...it all depends on the side of the fence you standing.
I don't live in Chaguanas East and I am not voting for Jack Warner. Neither am I in St. Joseph voting for Volney. If I had that privilege, the choice would be easily made.
It sounds, that by your thinking, a vote for the coalition is a vote for either of these gentlemen. Then I'm sure you can understand why some people think that a vote for any PNM candidate is a vote (and endorsement) for Manning and his herd of sheep.

Yes, absolutely. Whether they carry their respective seats or not you can bet your bottom dollar that either will hold positions of great influence within a UNC-COP government.
As for your second supposition... of course I understand, I have sufficient reservations myself about Manning to understand why people would want to vote anti-PNM. What I don't understand is why you think it necessary to ask me the question... I never questioned the anyone's voting preferences *shrug*
EDIT:
I like Kamla... but I think she real bounce she head when it comes to this Faustian bargain she strike with Jack. Yuh know what they say about laying down with dogs.

Rum/Whisky/Beer dey so intoxicated it eh funny
People who “call the elections” usually have the capacity to do polls, come to the table with an extensive understanding of political history and degrees to match and enjoy some reputation.
I am not one of those people.
So here are my election predictions, based on nothing more than a casual remembrance of who these people are in public life, the general public perception of them and, frankly, what they look like in their photographs.
This is really a test of my theory that the majority of people who show up in a polling station with no strong commitment to one party or another make their choices on nothing more than one or more of my own criteria for judgement.
On May 25th, we’ll all know just how valid a process this might be.
My fellow forumites...
I do believe that some of the words and actions we have seen in the last week and a half, prove that this election campaign has overstayed its welcome. Commandeering the nation's television stations for politicking, defacing the PM's residence, Mariano Brown's office, Errol Mcleod's office, "running" potential candidates on walkabouts, telling an 81 year old man expressing his political opinion to "stop making a fool of himself...you are 81 years old", bringing candidate's families into disrepute, carjacking candidates vehicles and stealing their documents, dousing candidates with paint, throwing water bottles into candidates vehicles, airing frankly unsavoury ads etc etc prove to me that we are taking this way too seriously, exhorting supporters to "deal with the media" particularly when contrasted with our general lackadaisical nature.
I pray that on May 24th, every single eligble person goes out and votes, even if only to express their displeasure at the lack of options given to them, in order to celebrate the luxury of belonging to a democracy.
I pray, and I have faith in my people, that regardless of the result, on May 25th, we will go back to our normal frame of life:
We will push our paper, we will cut our cane, we will sell our produce, we will fix our cars, we will build our buildings, we will sell our advertising space, we will sing and we will dance, we will complain, we will gripe, we will smile and we will laugh, we will love our football and we will love our cricket, we will suffer when West Indies fail and crash when T&T falters, we will beam when Ganga scores runs and jump when Kenwyne backflips, and cheer when either of the Marcs earns a medal. We will eat our doubles, and dish out our pelau, we will go to our weddings and our prayers, and our wakes and our funerals.
However, while we do this, one thing would have changed: we will be aware of our power, and of our maturity, and we will not let this happen again. We shall demand leadership that does not put us in between the devil, the deep blue sea, and the jagged rocks. We will make it plainly obvious that if those who seek to lead us do not get their act in order they will be made irrelevant by a people willing to forge their own destiny together, despite their differences and their differences of opinion.
I pray that on May 25th, we remember that "how we vote is not how we party", and that a people gets the politics it deserves. I hope that on May 25th, we don't simply stay the course, nor do we simply rise.
I pray that on May 25th we rise above the course we have taken, before and during this campaign.
lol even the thread votes too close to call, but UNC have the edge with the partnership.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My fellow forumites...
I do believe that some of the words and actions we have seen in the last week and a half, prove that this election campaign has overstayed its welcome. Commandeering the nation's television stations for politicking, defacing the PM's residence, Mariano Brown's office, Errol Mcleod's office, "running" potential candidates on walkabouts, telling an 81 year old man expressing his political opinion to "stop making a fool of himself...you are 81 years old", bringing candidate's families into disrepute, carjacking candidates vehicles and stealing their documents, dousing candidates with paint, throwing water bottles into candidates vehicles, airing frankly unsavoury ads etc etc prove to me that we are taking this way too seriously, exhorting supporters to "deal with the media" particularly when contrasted with our general lackadaisical nature.
I pray that on May 24th, every single eligble person goes out and votes, even if only to express their displeasure at the lack of options given to them, in order to celebrate the luxury of belonging to a democracy.
I pray, and I have faith in my people, that regardless of the result, on May 25th, we will go back to our normal frame of life:
We will push our paper, we will cut our cane, we will sell our produce, we will fix our cars, we will build our buildings, we will sell our advertising space, we will sing and we will dance, we will complain, we will gripe, we will smile and we will laugh, we will love our football and we will love our cricket, we will suffer when West Indies fail and crash when T&T falters, we will beam when Ganga scores runs and jump when Kenwyne backflips, and cheer when either of the Marcs earns a medal. We will eat our doubles, and dish out our pelau, we will go to our weddings and our prayers, and our wakes and our funerals.
However, while we do this, one thing would have changed: we will be aware of our power, and of our maturity, and we will not let this happen again. We shall demand leadership that does not put us in between the devil, the deep blue sea, and the jagged rocks. We will make it plainly obvious that if those who seek to lead us do not get their act in order they will be made irrelevant by a people willing to forge their own destiny together, despite their differences and their differences of opinion.
I pray that on May 25th, we remember that "how we vote is not how we party", and that a people gets the politics it deserves. I hope that on May 25th, we don't simply stay the course, nor do we simply rise.
I pray that on May 25th we rise above the course we have taken, before and during this campaign.
good post midknight. i agree with most of the sentiments expressed :beermug:
however, please email a copy of this post to uncle dookeran cuz clearly he has other ideas

chelck d last paragraph. i doh know bout everybody else. but dat statement he made there leavin a very sour taste in my mouth
Was just responding to your comment about my sig. I know you haven't questioned anyone's voter preferences, and i was more interested in others seeing your response than in you answering the question, if you get what i mean.
Of course Kamla bounce her head, the same way she bounce it with Volney. But where realpolitik reigns common sense goes out the door unfortunately. Political campaigns cost money and all the Bas financiers own tied up in lawyer fees or being with held.
When is a choice between being mauled by the pitbulls (they say they love children) and ketching fleas from the pompeks I taking fleas any day. And yes I'm fully aware is real fleas in we mudda a$$.
But I done stock up on sevins powder long time now.
Squeaky bum time
Martin Daly
Sunday, May 23rd 2010
We have reached the end of the political campaign for the general election to be held tomorrow, May 24, 2010. Borrowing a delightful phrase, which is used by British sports commentators to describe the tension players feel nearing the end of a close contest, ’it is squeaky bum time’. There are a lot of squeaky bums in Balisier House and Rienzi Complex and, sometime after midnight, there will also be tears.
The election remains close because no one can accurately poll the disenchanted People’s National Movement (PNM) supporters. They will wake up tomorrow still volatile and uncertain whether to hold their noses and vote for a party led by Mr Manning. If they, ’the don’t knows’, abstain, the coalition will bag 22 or 23 seats.
The campaigns of the two parties were intense, frequently nasty, and uniformly unsatisfactory because so little platform time was devoted to a coherent exposition of policy issues. Manning ran away from debating Kamla. She left us wanting when interviewed by Shelly Dass, although, to be fair, the interview questions were dis-organised and rushed.
Except for Dr Rowley, the PNM has made no reference on the platform to the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (UDecott) or Calder Hart. It has ducked and has therefore portrayed itself as approving of alleged perjury, corruption and nepotism.
However, in a highly stage managed television interview, aided and abetted by three hand-picked, pusillanimous journalists, (a modus operandi apparently to be repeated this evening), Mr Manning tried to tell us that the involvement of Hart and Udecott in the building of a church in Guanapo Heights for his treasured spiritual adviser/prophetess was an involvement of Hart in his personal capacity. He added that reference to ’the PM’ in certain correspondence might be to the project manager.
The three journalists who let that go without a whimper were gutless. They all had an attack of squeaky bum. Mind you, I had no positive expectations of them. One of them was so thrilled that he got a pick that his approach to the interview was sugary pap. He was so sweet he nearly gave Mr Manning diabetes. Another one was visibly frightened, probably afraid of losing his state enterprise work. He served up sweet bread lobs and helped provide nice answers.
This is the UDecott election, yet the third journalist, when confronted with the Prime Minister’s smirking responses that perhaps it was in his personal capacity that Hart was involved in the church building and the PM might mean project manager, shamefully and incompetently failed to ask obvious, relevant follow up questions.
Here are a few: Do you categorically deny that PM in this letter is a reference to you? Would Mr. Hart know to whom it is referring? Have you the means to contact Mr Hart and ask him? Are you in touch with Mr Hart?
George Orwell, who so well understood how a state grows totalitarian and enmeshes citizens with Big Brother, wrote an essay entitled Politics and the English Language. An edited but extensive quotation is justified: ’In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism.
A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms. But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation even among people who should and do know better’.
’Political language-and with variations this is true of all political parties-is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one’s own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase or other lump of verbal refuse into the dustbin, where it belongs’.
If one examines Orwell’s statements one can readily see support for the view that dismissing the murderous death of a young woman as collateral damage is verbal refuse and a corrupting influence on serious thought about violent crime, calculated to induce easy tolerance of it.
The campaign gimmicks have left me unsatisfied. Tomorrow when I vote, I will close my eyes when I am putting my ballot paper in the box and pretend that I am putting the Prime Minister’s contemptuous, heartless phrases into the dustbin, as recommended by Orwell, and I will likely shed another tear for Akiel Cha

The moral of the story for those wish to get rich from corruption is if you going to tief plenty... then make sure and give a little back to the people and everything will be ok.
Jack could never get my vote no matter what he does for his constituency, I have to look at the big picture, otherwise I am just as bad as he is.

Or hor ..ah had to ask since yuh was so specific about Warner and yuh forget to mention the current Prime Minister....at the end of teh day you have to choose the lesser of both evils
Logic is truly not a simple thing. I spoke to the fact that he was elected already and had his party won enough seats to form the government he would have been in government. He got elected then, and he now has a record of representation to run on. Ah can't make it any clearer. I am not speaking to his character.It has been done already. He is actually running for re-election. the first run should have been more difficult as he now has a record of representing his constituency.How can a man whose character is brought to question due to the scandalous handing of government funds/ FIFA funds/ TTFF funds and everyone's' funds be held in such high esteem that there is a chance that he could be elected and be a part of a government?

I personally dont think much people, if any, could be worse than Jack Warner, but that is my opinion. All I saying if is you voting Jack admit you voting for a crook and not a "good" man and that you are using the lessor of 2 evils reasoning. Don't fool yourself into thinking jack is a good person.

Sadly to say race is the foundation block or cornerstone of Trinidad politics.It was clearfully laid down by Williams and Capildeo TOGETHER,just more than 50 yrs ago.

Svgn S Ramdeen: I went to service commissions to query my job application and was bluntly told to 'look for vacancies in the newspapers',as i would never get through.I applied for the posts of Foreign Affairs Officer and Cabinet Affairs officer in 2007, dropped the applications in with my C.V. by hand. No word yet on the outcome. I don't know anyone who recently entered the public service through the Service Commission. Most positions are now contract posts that are advertised.

Indo-Trinbago Equality Council or i-Tec [pronounced eye-tech] founded by Devant Maharaj in 2008 was established in Trinidad & Tobago. ITEC is an advocacy group working to identify and eliminate racial and religious discrimination, reduce inequality and inequality of opportunity, protect human rights and build good relations, while ensuring that everyone is given a fair chance to participate in society.

not to the extent that we think.Capildeo never wanted to be Prime Minister,he was happy as opposition leader and Williams wanted to be Prime Minister.They therefore formed their own alliance.

Hey I have a question.The other school is the University of the Southern Caribbean. Do not go to that school.
The degrees received from the University of TnT or the other one (forgot name), are they recognized in north america or any other country? Not talking about those at Roytec and the Uwee.
I was reading some comments on a UNC/COP/TOP/ABC/MACO uhmm whatever else yes, forum and some of the people were saying that they were not. So now i'm wondering why not and does this make any damn sense to go to school and only have our degrees recognized in the Caribbean only?
Or are these people mis leading in their comments.

Trinindian,
Really think about. Why aren't Indian football on the Trini team. What about track and field, rugby, basketball, swimming. The same question should be asked in Guyana and Suriname where there are a large amount of Ino bros and sis. Are you trying to say all those organizations don't like or don't want Indos to represetnt oubr respective countries?

I'm hearing bits and pieces of disorganisation from different parts of the country. Mostly that the process is taking a bit too much longer than usual. After all this was a snap election so I could see things not clicking like clockwork at the EBC for this one. Over in Tobago where I voted was easy, breezy.....in and out in less than 10 minutes....

Power outage hits three polling stations
Two pollings stations 2405 and 2365, located in Tamana, in the constituency of Cumuto/Manzanilla were reported hit by a power outage shortly after 6am, says outgoing Member of Parliament for the constituency Harry Partap. While the voting process was hampered, it was not stopped.
Express reporter Camille Bethel is reporting that there has also been a power cut at the Guapo Primary School Polling Station. Congress of the people candidate for Point Fortin Nyahuma Obika said he had reported to the Elections and Boundaries Commission this morning that there was a power outage at 9am and the polling station had been left in complete darkness.
"People cannot see to vote. the polling station is as black as a (photographic) dark room". He said "this is unacceptable and has to be rectified.The Sangre Grande police has also been asked to deal with an issue at the Sangre Grande Government Primary school where supporters of one party is said to be congregating outside a polling station. It is an offence to congregate outside a polling station of within 100 metres of a polling station. Three candidates are vying for the Cumuto/Manzanilla seat, the UNC Collin Partap, the PNM’s Darryl Mahabir and independent Kris Jurai.

jack went down to sando west constituency TODAY!!! wit a coil to dole out bills for votes...he get he ass chase from d residents!!!
I pondering.
The allegations of poll clerks not signing ballots. How dat go work?
If 4000 voters turn up to vote....they cross 4000 names off the list. But...when they check the ballots, quite a few are missing signatures of the poll clerks. What can be done?
If you check..and see...4000 voters ....but 5000 ballots present......and some missing signatures....then...you could infer that those ballots were planted.
If you check..and see 4000 ballots...and 4000 names crossed off the list....then you could infer that it hadda be a serious breach of proceedure..which is de responsibility of the poll clerk!
Why anybody go take a risk like dat? It eh like yuh could get away.
Oh right....ah now remember why I came on here....PAGING CANA, PAGING CANA!!.....
Ah have popcorn......where the beers?? I prefer Heineken.... ;D ;D
I don’t support his presence, but I have to agree I did not see any money pass.
And what off the comments “ Tante you cah do that live here”
“People who like rum does like each other”
Just heard from my sources a reporter has been attacked in St Joseph.. :-\

Right. So following with that...this is my question.
4000 voters voted. 5000 ballots counted. 1000 without signatures.
No question marks?

NAH MAN MANNING D CAUSE OF ALL ILLS HAVE GONEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Manning do shit...yes we all agree but we now have a government with a constitutional majority.....Win lose or draw our politicians are not mature enough to understand the responsibility that comes with a constitutional majority...!!!The "status quo bias" in TnT politics does not give me much encouragement
Manning do shit...yes we all agree but we now have a government with a constitutional majority.....Win lose or draw our politicians are not mature enough to understand the responsibility that comes with a constitutional majority...!!!
Yeah but at what costs...We always knew that there was a chance that the PNM was losing this...No if no but no maybe but at the costs of a constitutional majority? I would have prefered it to be close like 21/20...22/19...That way we guaranteed good governance...With this result we only switch sides...!!!
So this is what the opposition looking like: Dr. Keith Rowley, Joel Primus, Dr Amery Browne, Alicia Hospedales, Marlene McDonald, Colm Imbert, Patricia McIntosh, Donna Cox, NiLeung Hypolite, Joanne Thomas, Patrick Manning? and Paula Gopee-Scoon... PNM need and big time 'tyra banks' make-over.
To hell in a handbasket we go.
NAH MAN MANNING D CAUSE OF ALL ILLS HAVE GONEEEEEEEEEEEEE
stop it, Manning called the elections like a mad man, but in fairness his government was collapsing.
he bought this shit upon the PNM, It is his fault, he allowwed our treasury to be raped by Hart etc.
It IS his FAULT
Congratulations Trinidad and Tobago.
The people wanted change and the people have spoken. And given the climate surrounding this entire elections, I'm also happy that it seems to have came off smoothly and without incident.
This was always a 'rock and a hard place' election. On the one hand you have a government failing its citizens in basic human necessities with an arrogant, borderline dictatorial leader consumed by power and now mired in serious implications of corruptions. The decision to call an early election itself was a tacit admission of failure and ineptitude.
On the other hand you have a hastily put together alliance that gives no confidence of staying together and provides no tangible solutions to the problems that face the society. Worst yet they bring more than their fair share of characters of questionable moral standing. The corruption that was significant of the party's previous tenure in government should also be fresh in memory.
But at the end of the day, a vote for the incumbent would have been a vote for the continued regression of this government and an endorsement for a leader that has simply lost the plot. And Trinidad and Tobago has decided not to have that.
Coming out of this election, as an optimist these are my hopes for the country:
- The crime situation is tackled head on by the new government. I seriously would like to see Jack take on the role of national security. He might be ah stinkin ole tief, but the f**ker is the hardest working person in government and he gets shit done!
- Government alliances with criminal elements managed through the URP and CEPEP are broken.
- The new government addresses the wanton spending on non-necessities by the prior administration and starts addressing the basic necessities like health care.
- The PNM uses this loss to re-organize itself, get its act together, get some fresh blood and become a stronger party that will be a real option for good governance in the next election.
- Term limits
- Societal integration.
These are just some things I hope for, like i said as an optimist. Lewwe see wha number play.

Congratulations Trinidad and Tobago.
The people wanted change and the people have spoken. And given the climate surrounding this entire elections, I'm also happy that it seems to have came off smoothly and without incident.
This was always a 'rock and a hard place' election. On the one hand you have a government failing its citizens in basic human necessities with an arrogant, borderline dictatorial leader consumed by power and now mired in serious implications of corruptions. The decision to call an early election itself was a tacit admission of failure and ineptitude.
On the other hand you have a hastily put together alliance that gives no confidence of staying together and provides no tangible solutions to the problems that face the society. Worst yet they bring more than their fair share of characters of questionable moral standing. The corruption that was significant of the party's previous tenure in government should also be fresh in memory.
But at the end of the day, a vote for the incumbent would have been a vote for the continued regression of this government and an endorsement for a leader that has simply lost the plot. And Trinidad and Tobago has decided not to have that.
Coming out of this election, as an optimist these are my hopes for the country:
- The crime situation is tackled head on by the new government. I seriously would like to see Jack take on the role of national security. He might be ah stinkin ole tief, but the f**ker is the hardest working person in government and he gets shit done!
- Government alliances with criminal elements managed through the URP and CEPEP are broken.
- The new government addresses the wanton spending on non-necessities by the prior administration and starts addressing the basic necessities like health care.
- The PNM uses this loss to re-organize itself, get its act together, get some fresh blood and become a stronger party that will be a real option for good governance in the next election.
- Term limits
- Societal integration.
These are just some things I hope for, like i said as an optimist. Lewwe see wha number play.

Oh please.... ::) ::)
When Jack was funding the UNC campaign in 2007, bailing out Oma and funding he trip to Germany for the World Cup in '06 he didn't have a problem then. Steups!!....is because of Panday we are saddled with Jack in Gov't. Let Pandy throw he frame!!!.....why they still interviewing him is beyond me....

Damn good question. The answer is because his walk in the wilderness is not permanent. I'm not suggesting he'll hold elective office again, but last night's overtures to him already point to paving the way for reconciliation. It's one thing to alienate a primary actor when there is tension within opposition ranks. Upon attaining office, the equation changes. Watch for a resurrection in Mikela's interest.

The one good thing that can be said is that the media and th epublic starting from a position of distrust and vigilance. Not just because of the current characters but the past history of the UNC with Carlos and Ish.
you woul dhope that Jack and company will not get as long a leash as Calder Hart (and by extension Manning). The only thing they can't stop is the "legal" corruption, the open nepotism and self serving award of non-tender business to friends and family. Jack master that with FIFA and the TTFF.

I dunno nah Olokun..all the PNMites mash up the site since election results
One sure way for Kamla to screw up an loose all the good will she currently has, would be to appoint basdeo as a senator.
