Oh and btw. bam-bam sexin she does be good every couple of months or so. try it, yuh might like it.

Is Nalini Dial or Samad putting up candidates? Perspiring minds want to know

[redmanjp]

i dont think PP puts up more than 1 party for each seat- so if UNC put up one (Ian Alleyne) then COP wont put up one

[snatman]

disrespectful sir, please know that Ms Dial is the political leader of her own party.

[j.o.e]

[rfari]

And dey run growley from the debe market he built for dem? Doh brakes
Edit: same ting i thinking habit7. Wha wrong wid dem? Now is not the time for fear, dais lata

[Habit7]

The same poster then wrote: "why does some of these indo trinidadians vote for pnm when they know pnm will do nothing for them.?"

The other UNC ppl pull him up for it but it gives you a sign of what he "really believes in his heart"

[rfari]

Ppl like that i like. Let the fear eat them for the next 18 months. Better yet, if there is the emotion of hope from now till the big one. Many will not recover. It heartless. Yeah. I know. Doh cater one f*q

Some interesting calculations

http://www.trini.tk/brief-analysis-of-t ... tion-2013/

In Monday’s elections the PNM received 188,393 votes, the UNC received 154,842 votes, the ILP received 102,918 votes, and the COP received 32,496 votes.

In terms of seats, the PNM won 85 of the total number of 136 seats, the UNC 44, the ILP three, and the COP four.

Let’s do some calculations:

PERCENTAGE BY VOTES
PNM: 39.36%
UNC: 32.35%
ILP: 21.50%
COP: 6.79%
PERCENTAGE BY SEATS
PNM: 62.50%
UNC: 32.35%
ILP: 2.21%
COP: 2.94%

We can see from the calculations done above that the number of votes is not reflected in the number of seats won (except for the UNC which is almost dead on target).

Proportional representation is supposed to “fix” this disparity by the assignment of aldermen.

Let’s see what happens when aldermen are added to the mix.

The PNM is expected to receive 36 aldermen, the UNC 14, the ILP five and the COP one. This means representatives (seats plus aldermen) in numbers will add up to the PNM 121, the UNC 58, the ILP 8, and the COP 5.

Let us do some more calculations:

PERCENTAGE BY VOTES
PNM: 39.36%
UNC: 32.35%
ILP: 21.50%
COP: 6.79%

PERCENTAGE BY SEATS PLUS ALDERMEN
PNM: 63.02%
UNC: 30.21%
ILP: 4.17%
COP: 2.60%

There is still a huge disparity in the percentage of votes versus the percentage of representatives, even with the new Proportional Representation measures that were put in place.
