Well if you voting...you have to choose

I said nothing about having to vote.

So you've made an argument and discredited it yourself.
Like some one of them random arseholes you speak of.

So no vote ....and then what?
What happens the day after the election.

We need better systems and better quality of candidates.

Are there people who genuinely believe that the PNM is good for the country?

Forget if you’re one of those who just want your race in power or if you’re benefitting personally, what I want to know is, are there rational people who genuinely believe that the PNM being in office is good for the country?
And if so, how?

How many reverse gears you got on that tricycle? :lol:

Well anyways, since you asked "What happens the day after the election." Nobody can predict the future, but I can only surmise that, on election day there'd be a mad dash and much scrambling in their efforts to figure out a better way to campaign and bs the population, from both sides. The two major parties would observe the painful reality, that they would no longer have an easy time swaying voters toward their party. Following that, there'd be no government until a the next election (which would follow shortly thereafter) yields a winner, and they will know that they will have to try much harder to win back the people's trust and confidence before being allowed back in to office and while in office, and that a song and a jersey ain't gonna achieve that.

Once either side gets in office, I expect legislation to be put in place so that the last regime in office would be elected by default in the event that such ever recurs. That's where opposition would have to earn their bread and butter.


But all in all, a national boycott of a general election where all voters abstained would overall send a very real, loud and clear message, one that cannot be spun, doctored or misinterpreted, that the people demand better from their elected officials and would prefer NO government over their current choices, and that would be the very first step toward advancement and change.

pnm does make some good decsions. like the interchange at macoya, but that shoudl have been done before the one at curepe, it wouldhave had a bigger impact, cause the macoya one will operate more like an actual bypass, instead of the curepe one just being a way through a traffic light to bounce back up the same traffic further down the road.

but, the people who put pnm back in power, didnt do it cause of weighing good decisions or bad. they voted cause that is their tribe to support, sink or float, man-u till death.

and that will not encourage any party to lead a good fight. COP tries, but thats not what pulls votes. when u check how votes changed from election to election, u see is a small number of peopel that change thier decision. the bulk of votes could care less about "facts" and "figures".

Hello paid_influencer,

This was the first time i voted PNM and honestly i do not regret my decision.

I wouldnt say the PNM is “good” for the country, but basically it would not have been better under my former party, the unstable and disorganized UNC.

The PNM needs work, plenty work.

The UNC, as our colleague Zoom constantly tells us, is not important at this stage.

I have no issue with not voting... everyone is free to choose their course of action
.but it's still leaves a party in place that has the result that puts them in a position of authority.

Without a govt the services will fail in a short space of time when money stops being voted on and payments made.

We devolve into anarchy PDQ.

Everybody else, particularly young people, going to feel it as the country continues falling apart. No amount of blaming Kamla going to change that, but it will make PNMites feel better.

Let that hate out. Let it out, ventilate your feelings.

I agree, but Failed Plastic Bag cannot bring himself to even utter any criticism of his beloved LFDRFD PNM cult, all while pretending to be "neutral" or waiting for "policies" then "better policies" or wildly unrealistic "all ah dem hadda resign before I vote UNC" tatah.
All this while NEVER calling for accountability in ANY FORM from any LFDRFD PNM persons.


And all this while your panties in a bunch because of what I think...I’m touched...

So why do you think the unc is the better option in 2020?...use facts...


Use some facts and big words....you would feel less insecure.

Lemme criticize the PNM.....you clearly are a product of the PNM education policy over the last few decades...
You represent the exact result that we all expect of the Education system that Eric Williams gave you.

Grate is the PNM.

Ooh, Form 2 bathroom girl comeback! How unexpected! :roll:
If you're uneducated, and it shows in all your posts btw, then that is your cross to bear.
You're still nothing but a LFDRFD PNM sheep kant at the end of all your long arsed, useless little girl replies. What irks you the most is prolly those thousands of bags you have to see every day when you mistakenly thought like a good old house slave, worshiping Black Massa JUHN Scarfy would be your ticket to the rackets that you not only see, but would give your seedless left testicle to partake in :lol: :lol:
Sadly, your 2NR transcripts didn't allow that to come to pass. Sadder still, you're still trying YEARS later. :lol: :lol:

You wouldn't recognize content if it slapped you in your face. Sadly this is by choice, as you have never, and will never be swayed by "content" no matter how many, (and there were very many), times you were proven wrong, or shown the error of the LFDRFD PNM crew you are so enamored with.

It is amazing to see ppl support a policy under the party they support, but reject it when their party not in power. And then they are the first to call others sheep.

Fly the Black Flag if it makes you happy, but at the end of the day, a government is representative of the population.They are every one of us,just out in the open to be easy targets. Political anarchism seems to be the 'cool,I'm so wise" solution. This will never work, especially not on planet earth.That is for an Utopian society with perfect co operation for the common good.Those kinds of theoretical situations will not work in the real world.
What have you done for your country and fellow countrymen today?
Threw your rubbish out of your car?
Sold out to the Venezuelans?
Overcharged your customer?
Provided less than satisfactory service?
Promoted lawlessness?
Choose to drive a gas guzzler instead of a fuel efficient vehicle.You by yourself, but everybody have to know you have a fass car..
See the politicians as a reflection of yourself

On another note
Redman is right this time: Fact
The UNC is a mockery of its former self. Kamla needs to retire and they need to get rid of Jack Warner's blackmailing and dirt digging presence from the party for any chance of winning anything.They have ventured into gutter politics

When prices are increased, the beat up will only last a few days.

Everyone will continue to pay it quietly, just as they pay for everything else that was increased.

Gg had commented, the spare Space by a police station, where they park/pack up damaged vehicles, was actually designated to hold animals and carts.

The laws are still in place, just not referenced.

Like conductor is needed for a omnibus that has 10 and more passengers, and he has to be registered, and also has a specified uniform.

The laws there.
