The 2020 General Election Thread (AUGUST 10TH)

[Kewell35]

The Political leader of the Congress of the People, Ms. Carolyn Seepersad- Bachan has resigned.
At a special meeting on Tuesday evening she told her party followers that she had pledged to honour the mandate of the COP when she took up the mantle of leadership.
That is, to find enduring unity and strength in the nation's diversity. She said the fight in the latest election was to strengthen the country's parliamentary democracy.
Ms. Seepersad-Bachan says that along the way she was humbled by the many people who listened and shared their views and concerns with her. She is grateful that regardless of their final political choice they treated her with respect.
Ms. Seepersad-Bachan says that in the interim the national COP Council will appoint one of their Deputy Leaders to act as Political leader. She urges her followers to hold on to the believe that change will come and they will be beneficiaries of good governance.

What a complete waste.

[Redman]

Well it is CSB a that killed the COP.
She had portfolio and a seat 2010-2015 to make the party a force for the 2015 election
She bent over to tow UNC party line and the party reneged on its own values.

[Kewell35]

It had nothing to do with UNC party line. She was just utterly incompetent as usual.

[Trinispougla]

Hopefully this spells the end of the UNC.

All of them should just find a new job/go back to their regular jobs and leave the governing to PNM and 1%.

Watch you bank account disappear in paying taxes and as we hear rumors' more income taxes coming , so lets take home pay for you,

Take Bull

I hear every month we gonna pay property tax?

Well its going to be large taxes you will have to pay, so i guess they will take monthly installments to soften the blow.

Don't expect any improvements or services from paying you house taxes.

If you live in a Non PNM area you have nothing to get

HAAAAAA you exaggerating -as usual.

Large?

3% of the Annual Rental Value is large?

After years on Trinituner....you does really take ZR opinion seriously? de man is a walking, talking contradiction

Paying house taxes does not bother me one bit.

I will simply raise my rents to cover it.

Hard luck to my PNM tenants.

As if all of them rent.......lorddd.

Well Prakash had the same opportunities but point taken.

[bluefete]

Phillip on a rant, says he has no more f*cks to give

well tough....we are not first past the post, we are proportional representation and whoever wins the number of seats wins. I personally feel its better.....look at the two backward countries(Guyana and Suriname) that decided to do first past the post and see how well they have turned out

That is not true.

T&T is first past the post. That is how our General Elections are run.

I think Panday had some proportional representation when they had the Local Government elections around 1995-2002.

If we had proportional representation, the UNC would have more seats.

The chestbun in here is EPIC since the results came out.

i cleared this up in an earlier post

[zoom rader]

The road we as a people continue to be heading down is just amazingly silly as it relates to the post election discourse.
We just dont understand that doing the same things over and over and expecting different results just dont work.
Elections are more or less over and we need to move on without sowing bitterness and other nonsense.
The work we all have to do requires us to get going in the same direction since like covid19, other forms of destructive pressures not going to distinguish between unc or pnm.

There is no WE in PNM where non pnm ppl are concern

What's the problem, it's all true.

[Dohplaydat]

I know her sister or cousin and she's a very nice girl. I don't think we should be boycotting a whole company because one silly grand daughter get riled up due to UNC losing.

She's not the owner unlike Aboud who said worst, and look I love my peanut punch too much.

PM: UNC trying to destabilise country

The Prime Minister is accusing the UNC of attempting to delegitimise the government’s election victory through its call for recounts.

On CNC3’s Morning Brew, Dr Rowley said the call for recounts in constituencies where the UNC lost by thousands of votes is part of a deliberate strategy by the UNC to prevent the smooth transition of government after the election.

He said the UNC, by challenging the results in certain constituencies, was suggesting to their followers that their party had been cheated out of victory in the election.

“This is a dangerous situation. There is an ethnic flavour to this and the purpose is to incite a section of the population. There is a huge undercurrent of racism that has come out of this election. You can go on social media and see what’s happening there.

“I saw a university lecturer accusing the PNM of organising boundaries so it could win, which brings into question the constitutional role and function of the EBC. I don't think the recounts are candidate-based. They are looking for any means to get us into court and then go the way of Guyana.”

Rowley said while the Cabinet from the previous swearing-in is in place and is running the country, there are certain mandates which the government has to fulfil and, for this, a new Cabinet has to be sworn in.

Only bored pest would beat up over that really regardless of if the comment was about politics or not.

Regardless of what the 1% say about trinis, if I really need something from one of them establishment I still go and get it.

Is Rowlee appointing himself the PNM prime Minster without the release of the official EBC results and appointed by the President?

If the COP had left after the SIA saga, the culmination of which was the reshmi ramnarine thing, they would have been in office now. My mom always thought Prakash was a future PM.........but he blew those chances to smithreens

[Kewell35]

me eh know where to put this

There's load of racist comments from PNM supporters too dude.

Damn right about that. Money trumps ethics in T&T politics, everytime.

Just like people really believe Rowley going to step down after this term. I will come crawling back and apologize if ever that happens.

[Blaze d Chalice]

Nah boi zoom I sure there are, but me eh really meddle too much in the facebook/ig/twitter politics this rounds nah.
I go check back in the coming days.

I took some of the Vene renters to a beach one last time up Blanchisseuse side since we expecting some kinda lockdown after the elections bobol settle.
Couldn't make it back down in time to vote.

In any case the only reason I here is because of CORVID airport lockdown, so ideally I shouldnt have even been here to vote.

You very well know that no official results can be given until the recounts are finished.

Chain up dem younger tuners, not the older ones like you and me.
