next I looking at crime plans. Having the latest iphone and BMW and rolex doh mean chit if you not free to live without being robbed raped or killed. Crime plans very sparse and non-specific. It is also priority #2 for the government, not even priority #1 as a talking point.
What they did identify as priority #1 - making a more efficient public service - I actually believe they could pull it off. It does seem like something Stuwatee has taught a lot about and has plans to see it though.
But is it important to me, above my pension and crime and criminality? No. Not even close.
tldr: I went through the manifesto and it does not align with my interest. I will be voting for KYAMILLAH

the whole point of making "contributions" is to give people skin in the game. You paid for it so you are entitled to the benefits.

Your constituency is mine...St Joseph?bluefete wrote:CHOICES GALORE FOR THIS ELECTION!
DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO VOTE.
I went through the list of choices for all constituencies - very interesting:
1. Tobago West has the most number of candidates from which to choose - NINE!
2. My constituency - a marginal - has FIVE.
3. Twenty two (22) constituencies have THREE choices: The 2 usual suspects and the Patriotic Front.
4. Diego Martin North/East has SIX candidates. Somebody vote out Imbert nah.
