There are many things I can say about the honourable PM, but reading this thread there is one thing that stands out. The man is a brilliant political strategist.. Given the devaluation of the PNM stock what better time to call an election, than when he is still seen as the less of two evils, before public mistrust of the opposition is replaced by public outcry against his leaderhip or some may say lack there off. (guess 5 more years is better than 3)
Personally I really don't want an election right now, because no party has presented itself as a viable alternative. The PNM will be reelected and the whole election be unneeded public expenditure. The only possible positive outcome would be the final nail in the silver fox coffin, that is if public sentiment prevails, we will have to wait for the Preacher to have his turn.
