But seriously a man had a 26-15 majority in parliament, then called a snap elections and lose 29-11.

De man give Daft Trini and them what they want. Milk and Honey flowing in T&T this morning Uncle Pato ride out.

Hush yuh arse... I voting PNM since I turn 18... was a die forking hard pnmite eh until manning started becoming full of heself.... me eh too happy with this Coalition shyte... but fuh now it go have to do... Hope PNM employ the leadership of Rowley and Beckles and let manning preach in the sunset...

proud to say we never vote UNC... NEVER!

[JDB]

Snap Election iS HELL part 2.

Manning just prove he is a dunce. The onlyting keeping manning in favour was th efact that Panday was on the other side.

It was a real ego trip for him to think he woulda walk this one, especially so soon after Kamla's victory.

At the end of the day things might be better off for everybody if he get deposed at political leader and both parties benefit from constructive opposition and and not this "lesser of two evils" paradigm that has been in play for the past 20 years. I not holding my breath though.

The coalition cannot last AND be successful. If Kamla operate witha strong hand to keep the scoundrels in check and buck the corrupt status quo she will have defections. If she curries their favour she can't govern effectively.

The People's Partnership has swept the 2010 General Elections with 28 seats
Tuesday 25th May, 2010
http://www.ctntworld.com/LocalArticles.aspx?id=20984

Under the umbrella of the People's Partnership , Kamla Persad Bissessar, the following seats were won: Barataria/San Juan, St. Augustine, Toco/Sangre Grande, Diego Martin North East, St. Joseph, Lopinot/Bon Air West, Chaguanas East, Chaguanas West, Cumoto/Manzanilla, Caroni Central, Couva South, Tabaquite, Mayaro, Moruga/Tableland, Naparima, Siparia, Fyzabad, Pointe-a-Pierre, Oropouche East, Oropouche West, Princes Town, San Fernando West, Arouca/Maloney, Tobago East, Tobago West, Tunapuna, D'Abadie/O'Meara, La Horquetta/Talparo and Tabaquite.
 
The outgoing party, the People's National Movement retained only 13 seats.
 
These seats are Diego Martin West, Diego Martin Central, Port of Spain North/St. Ann's, Port of Spain South, Laventille West, Laventille East/Morvant, St. Ann's East, Arima, Arouca/Maloney, Point Fortin and San Fernando East
 
And the outgoing Prime Minister Patrick Manning who conceded to defeat around 10.40 pm says he wishes the People's Partnership well. He says though his view on a coalition party will take time.

Mr. Manning has promised to move out of the Diplomatic Centre as soon as he can.

He says the best decision will be taken in the interest of the People's National Movement.

He thanked the young people for coming out and supporting the party and he hopes that the social programmes of young students will still be sustained.

[Daft Trini]

..ah wonder what Dr Eric Williams saying in his grave ?..

He was a free mason... he was not buried but burned.... his ashes lay at the bottom of the Bocas  

[Controversial]

they reporting 29-12 on the papers, if its really 30-11, watch out for the many changes, kamla will only be in for 2 terms max and all others that follow, the ebc will also change, along with the bobol that still exists in the constitution.
no more building homes in marginals and an end to many fallacies. either way i believe the speaker will vote with the unc making it 30 and one of the opposition if its 29-12.

Pt. Fortin that one was real close.....

[Brownsugar]

I read something in the Express that said there are still somethings that the coalition wont be able to do even with a constitutional majority....

Here it is.....

"The People's Partnership now have a constitutional majority which would  enable it to pass legislation which affects rights.  It also has a two thirds majority which would empower it to alter certain entrenched sections of the Constitution, such as those sections relating to the JLSC and the Auditor General.  But it cannot change those critical provisions relating to the President and his powers, the Parliament and the electoral system. It would need 31 of the 41 votes in the Parliament for that."

I take it this doesn't apply to things like implementing a fixed date for elections, term limits for a PM and referendum and recall??....  I'm thinking that referendum part might fall under changes to the electoral system??....

The one thing that sold me on kamla is the fact that she thought the judicial system was out dated and called for ah renewal, also the appealant court system moving away from the privy council. ah hope she keeps her promise.

[Brownsugar]

Yuh see that moving away from the Privy Council thing.  De last UNC administration was for it.  They ended up in the opposition and changed their minds.

Ever since then we still going to the Privy Council.  I don't remember Kamla saying that they would bring legislation to make the CCJ our highest court, which would be going back to their original position.  It was one of the questions I had and was hoping it would have been answered during the campaign season....

[royal]
