They speaking to a certain segment that seems for whatever reason to have a pellucid fear of Rowley. And plus that is the only plan they had since 2010. Then was Manning. Now is Dr. Rowley.

Yes Manning was soft Rowley go jail them and throw way the key that is their fear. I will believe it when I see it.

So serious question to all the PNM supporters, if the doctor manage to pull victory out of the general this year..

What essentially is PNM going to do better than PP? In terms of their platform and improving the state of our nation, in terms of crime, managing resources, improving race relations and governance..

It doesn't bode too well for PNM with Tim kee being there and his track record thus far with our national football..

nah nah nah... let the supporters tell us why they are voting for their party and what their party will do to improve the state of our nation...

people does have real talk when it comes to criticizing and condemning but give them a chance to elaborate why one is better than the other and what really is our nation gaining by supporting their party over the other party... especially since a fellow supporter of theirs is ruining our football at the moment and can't even run the organization, but they want the same man to be a part of the team that runs our nation...

or here is a better question, what will the pnm do different to this current government that will improve our nation...

neutrality for me when it concerns football and politics and also objectively assessing who will really do the job...

i'm waiting...

she is ah joker

why is that?? for all the non poli sci majors in the house, making certain demands for a national debate prior to the GE is customary and standard... the demands are not unreasonable and that is political strategy... people in TT so backward sometimes, not referring to you sando in particular but they feel this a woodford square type scenario...

[Sando prince]

^^ I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and think you did not even read her list of demands. So once again I am giving you the benefit of the doubt instead of easily embarrassing you. Again I repeat she is ah joker

[Sando prince]

I looked at over 20 articles and listened to the news and no one listed all 29 requests... I also read PNM agreed with some of them as well..

So hopefully I will find them, if you have an article listing them, post it...

Don't be mystified by false prophets in our nation...

Rowley love Morvant so much, why doesn't he address the property devaluation behind the bridge, walk 50 meters and the property value increases substantially.

The poor suffer in pos and have continued so under mostly PNM.. Unc is no different..

Having the gift of the gab will not mystify me.. One day I will produce a documentary on the real lives in the ghetto and what PNM has done or hasn't done ...

The rail was disregarded under PNM no now they want to bring it back..

Well since you can't spare three minutes... The non negotiable demands listed in the news report (13 explicitly mentioned):

The PM should be allowed to sit during the debate.

The PM also needs to select the type of chairs she sits on.

Veto power of the moderator (also requested by the PNM.. The only one highlighted as such)

Veto of the panel

Veto of the technical crew aiding in the broadcast.

Veto of the producer.

Questions to be submitted and placed in a locked box at state owned CMMG under guard.

At all times be referred to as " Madam PM"

Approve the backdrop a month in advance.

Have her choice in attire.

Ensure that a feed is available for Win TV and Radio Jagriti (spelling most likely wrong)

2 preparation rooms.

These preparation rooms must be in POS.


And that's what was cited in the report.

[Sando prince]

^^ Have her choice in attire and two preparations rooms 

I want to ask our Trini diva PM who besides her will have her choice in attire?

I strongly believe that this video will be:

1) ignored by the UNC base
2) used by the UNC in their no Rowley campaign after selective editing and distortion as they have done before
3) conveniently avoided by others who have set minds.

Oh well.

I agree that PNM did neglect the infrastructure East of the Dry River. But on the other hand they started the industrialization of Central TT with the Pt. Lisas Industrial complex. Yes, again they scrapped the rail service. The railway was bleeding the treasury. That was in the mid 60s when oil was less that 10 dollars a barrel. The rail services was losing money. A substantial amount of commuters were not paying fares. Many thought it was a mistake to do away with the rr. I fully agree. Maybe it was the time to elevate the rail lines and also run it from Champs Fleurs along the the highway to Sando. Like I said, TT did not have the money to do that. By the time the 80s came with high oil prices it was too late to reconsider rail. Eric was hell bent on that Pt. Lisas project.

Family the railway was not bleeding the treasury.. That was a big lie, they approached a person we know personally to fudge the books to siphon the money, he refused to be a part of the cover up and they found another man to do it.. The money was diverted to other areas and siphoned that way.. Certain things I would not repeat on here that are prime examples of the legacy of PNM and continued with all other political parties...

The PM should be allowed to sit during the debate. Reasonable, could be due to back problems..

The PM also needs to select the type of chairs she sits on. See above

Veto power of the moderator (also requested by the PNM.. The only one highlighted as such)

Veto of the panel - understandable, eliminate partisan affiliation

Veto of the technical crew aiding in the broadcast. I believe the pres of the U.S. also has his advisors oversee who the crew is and all technical aspects of any broadcast he partaken in...

Veto of the producer. See above...

Questions to be submitted and placed in a locked box at state owned CMMG under guard. Not unorthodox.. to avoid tampering and unfairness, this debate can determine our next PM.. It is not a joke..

At all times be referred to as " Madam PM" - she is still PM...

Approve the backdrop a month in advance. - ridiculous...

Have her choice in attire.  Was she being told what to wear, confused why she would point this out?

Ensure that a feed is available for Win TV and Radio Jagriti (spelling most likely wrong) - not outlandish, wants her core supporters to have a feed to boost her support during the debate..

2 preparation rooms.

These preparation rooms must be in POS. she's a woman, image and so forth... Her advisors would also advise she looks her best as it is close to elections..


And that's what was cited in the report.
