Nabila Greene? Who d fck is she.....toco/grande is now sure pnm victory

She is a nobody, but she is a kamla sycophant. Can't believe they end up picking her when they could have chosen the pharmacist Ricardo who is charismatic and massively popular in Grande. Hell even outsider Kadija would have been a better pick.

As much I don't like PNM I can't vote for this UNC, they do not deserve power.

Nope..From what i gather thus far, this Nabila lady is supposedly very popular in toco/grand riviere area(which is a weak point for the unc). Ricardo was only popular in Grande and have some skeletons in his closet.

Roger on the hand has nothing to lose and endless finances to fund his campaign. Interesting to see how this pans out

[matr1x]

COP.....loses all limbs and still saying, "tis just a flesh wound!"




Vote pnm if you like living in failure.

[sMASH]

COP was riddled with people looking for perfection and power.

Pleasant good morning Slim,

Correct, I’m all about service.

Be reminded the PNM put the Venezuelans exactly where, WE, the business community want them to be thus improving the service industry in our country.

However the PNM chooses to continuously bobolize, lay some pipe and stretch the pockets of lazy AF Trinis is certainly not my concern.

And i want allyuh to feel it. Allyuh need a wake up and say enough is enough. Trinis really do not know how much power they have if they stand together.

But for now, i want Imbert to hit allyuh some good back shot that coming allyuh way.

They have my vote.

Nope.

CSB and Prakash securely nailed that coffin shut.

They had it 2010-2015 but frittered it away.

Yep they had 150k votes- and if they did what they said what they were going to do.....and I mean vote in parliament as an independent party-instead of a rubber stamp....they would have been the 3rd party in 2015, but she and prakky decided to become unc small goal sweat side.....effectively dissolving the franchise they obtained in 2010.

why would any one expect them to do differently in 2020.

Failed party-

Failed party-

Hasan Minaj's episode of The Patriot Act on Sunday on the US electoral system and its "winner takes all" end result has lots of applicability for Trinidad despite the differences in our governance framework. Its even more pronounced for us in T&T as citizens here do not vote for Senators so the GE winner automatically gets 51% of senate seats and by default control of the Upper House to go with the Lower House.

Our system much like the US's is tailor made for two parties only and is a legacy of the British.

We need to fix the electoral system and valid 3rd parties will follow. As it stands and 2007 has shown a party can get 23% of votes in a GE and win nothing and another party can get 46% which represents a plurality not a majority and win everything. 2007-2010 PNM was a minority government with a majority mandate.

OFC just like with the Dems and Reps its not in the UNC or PNM's interest to fix it, moreso PNM who would lose the natural advantage they have.

[Redman]

2 party systems will always end up where we are-as the US is- 2 sides realise that Opposition eh so bad so they are confronted with not so bad Opposition and Great Govt.
No need to make any effort to innovate-since the downside is limited.



COP should have used their first term in Parliament consolidating their base- and getting their message out in prep for 2015 election.

They would have had a decent shot to show their colors in 2015.

The swing vote is an unserved demographic. It still is,

Not disagreeing on the swing vote however COP could have potentially been a voice of reason b/t 2010-2015 then get thrown out completely thereafter and we have 2007 back again. Its not in a 3rd party's interest to be a dissenter in winner takes all.

TBH there is no solution to our two party hegemony other than to change the system though which they derive their powers. Its really pie in the sky to think we can keep the winner takes all system and expect 3rd party coalition partners to not tow the line.
