No it wasn't UNC in power from 2003 to 2010. I'm very sure there were protests and opinions, but you need to find the records in those years from the archived newspapers.
In 2010 as soon as she was elected on the opening day of Parliament, Kamla called a date for local elections.
And you support PNM in doing a wrong?eliteauto wrote:Are we still a rum and roti electorate? If yes then even a loss at the Privy Council works for the PNM. I was expecting a December poll last year, by doing this it gave the government time to mobilize the road paving exercise we're seeing all over the country now, river desilting, embankment building, , pavement construction etc that probably still mamguys the short memory party fanatics and some others, gives the contractors hope of some payment down the road, that trickles to their employees and I haven't been on the road certain hours of late but can anyone say if there have been more CEPEP gangs lately?
The PNM strategy book is older than me and they're still using it in 2023, it's left to be seen how successful it is

At least in that time my road was paved twice (2007 and 2010)
Then it was paved again in 2012 for good measure.
Now we have to contend with making routes of least potholes!!!

2007 - GE time under PNM
2010 - GE time under PNM
2012 - Local government voted in 2010 actually just doing their work? You're in Tunapuna-Piarco Region right? Who won that division in 2010?
WHEN next voters go to the polls for local government elections, there will be two new districts to vote in, along with a few name changes. In piloting the motion to approve the draft of the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) (Local Government and Tobago House of Assembly) Order, 2021, on Wednesday, Minister of Local Government Kazim Hosein told Parliament about 22 changes.
“The changes recommended by the EBC in the tenth report involve adjusting two boundaries in the electoral districts of Chaguanas, Point Fortin, Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo, Penal/Debe, Siparia and Mayaro/ Rio Claro.
"It also involves the addition of two electoral districts in the electoral districts of Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo and Mayaro/Rio Claro.”
In the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo corporation, the new district will be Couva West/Roystonia, and in the Mayaro/Rio Claro Corporation, the new electoral district will be Mayaro North. The increased in the number of districts came as the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo electorate grew from 147,438 according to the EBC's ninth report, to 152,032 in the tenth report. Under the EBC’s rules, Hosein said, the growth in the electorate allowed for an increase of one district. The same was done for Mayaro/Rio Claro district, which went from 29,511 to 30,141.https://newsday.co.tt/2023/03/23/ebc-cr ... ent-polls/

trying to make excuses for a lorse based on what them said is pointless

Exactly! One set of coulda, woulda, shudda.

if he doesn’t want to accept that, wonder if that still paints the govt as democratic

The utterances and missteps of our leaders is truly indicative of our existence on what is fast becoming a rudderless vessel.
Attacks on our democratic and constitutional rights seem fair game for political expedience and the trends in this regard seem to be inline with a new world order.
At the end of the day Courts my be requested to adjudicate on many matters affecting the rights of citizens, but at times like these history has shown that it will be up to the 'masses' to create the impetus for realignment and there will be costs to bear.

PP won the TPRC in 2010 and decisively lost it in 2013 going from 11 seats to 2.
My local seat is Curepe/Pasea. One of the few seats guaranteed not to go to the PNM within the Corporation.
