The ads not hitting. It's just Stuart trying to put on a groundsman voice but he can't shake the st Bernadette's/westboy accent

Lil late for UNC which explains why they are headless and scrambling.

PNM all over as well….but UNC is just the more embarrassing party.


Is election time allyuh……time to make and break promises.


Actually Max that was the PNM rhetoric a couple weeks ago, but the observations so far is that the UNC was actually very prepared for the election. Their marketing campaign was on point, from recruiting social media influencers to booking prime spots on mainstream media, banners printed, jerseys printed, flags ready etc etc They actually have the better songs and slogan that is appealing to the younger crowd.

They also had a manifesto prepared and were unrolling it from the start. Their meetings are very structured and civil, not the ra ra ra that you seeing from the PNM. They playing their trump cards, unleashing their surprises etc. The crowds are all inclusive with all races of people seen. The discussions are high level and engaging.

The PNM on the other hand seems to be somewhat scrambling. Their "walks" are scanty, the meetings are filled with people alighting from maxi taxis. Stuart Young's speeches are horrible. They brought back Rowley who everyone hates on the campaign trail. and was obviously not the plan. The meetings turn out to be a mini fete which I guess is what appeals to their supporters and the crowd is the obvious composition with no diversity whatsoever.

The PNM's strategy is the usual personal attacks. Hearing Camille Robinson is enough to turn off any right thinking person. That type of politics does not appeal to the educated younger voter.

i have to agree, pnm has descended into pure old school gutter politics with the constant mudslinging
probably because they can’t defend their poor performance so not much else they can do

Have to agree with Gladiator. The UNC releasing chapters of their manifesto in "minifestos" over the past 3 weeks was very smart. The promises by Stuart is starting to sound desperate as if the country suddenly have some money to burn.

PNM momentum seems to have stalled while UNC picking up steam. Will it be enough? I'm hearing more Patriotic Front ads so their presence is much more noticeable. NTA seems to be dead in the water except for St. Joseph where Gary Griffith contesting. Farley holding it down in Tobago but there is a threat of split votes among anti-pnm voters.

11 days to go.

Young promising to increase nurses salaries. Notice he is playing smart with words. He said increase their salaries. He didn’t say by how much. He will then say the union didn’t take the offer. PNM not offering more than 5%.

Look

You keep complaining about salary and money. You knew what the salary was when you accepted the job offer so stop complaining. If you want more money then get a better job like the rest of us. The country doesn't owe you anything.

What shite are you talking about so with your dumbass logic teachers , police, nurses , doctors. Because they signed up for one salary forget cost of living and inflation they should start with that one salary and retire on such. Well I tell you this takes it as the greatest BS I ever read on here

You know why MAX because they didnt do it once but TWICE in their tenure. I received two backpays in UNC term while pnm can't even produce one in their two consecutive terms.

None of your concern, these are the facts the unions along with cpo/ management are supposed to bargain every three years on increases. Public servants are on 2013 salaries in 2025. Which means the government has not kept their obligations. The government has meddled and interfered with the collective bargaining process to the point where negotiations are now before the courts on signed agreements in the case of Port and NIB workers. The political interference is now at the point of restricting workers.

I will end with this.....tell imbert shove it

DR Roodal Moonilal is warning that the jobs of some 1,500 dock workers are on the line as he revealed an alleged secret plan by government to privatise the Port Authority.

Moonilal said on the eve of a general election, a foreign entity from the Philippines – International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI) – has already been selected as the preferred tenderer for the lease and operation of the port

hover, you have any hobbies/friends? you on vacation but have been living on tuner 24/7. you letting politics emotionally wreck you and then presenting it on here.

there is more to life than this frothing and getting emotionally riled up by political parties. you obviously want to remain in the govt job because you are a lazy, ambitionless person. that's your choice. but to expect more pay for doing nothing is not how businesses operate. it's the same way you expect other people to do something you always complain and froth about.

we know you wont dare go private because it would mean you would have to pull your weight, and you have no skill in whatever you studied in school because you are not in the field of work. the govt life has spoiled you, you are sucking on the teat of the public sector, as is everyone you are idolising who work there as well.

i can only say please seek some help. nobody is truly against you, but you have some issues to sort out with yourself.

$200 could buy a tank of gas, flour, rice and bodi for the month.

Could even mix and match with dasheen bush, ochroes, dahl, and other delicious veggies.
