Guuuud. I remember them days. Panday used to ram out mid centre mall carpark. Front to back

Them days, Jack rent almost every bus and maxi. Was chaos on the highway when the crowd spill over from mid center. The 2007 mid center rally that ruined cop chances was legendary.
The 35th anniversary celebration barely had 150 ppl. Even the curry duck and rum event buss.

I disagree. The weakest Opposition was when Rudranath Capildeo was Opposition Leader while living and working in London in 1963. With that era’s technology it would have been impossible.

Paray open to alliances with others if team wins UNC election
‘All will be welcome’




United Patriots slate leader Rushton Paray has signalled that he will have an open-door policy to people, parties and organisations interested in national development if his team wins United National Congress’ upcoming national executive election.

“The UNC must always be a home to every citizen in T&T—all must be welcomed,” Paray added yesterday.


And UNC chairman Dave Tancoo, of the Stars incumbent slate in the party election, has also said the party has openly pursued national unity,

“... And we will continue to do so with any and everyone who shares UNC’s mission, policies and plans,” he said.

Paray and Tancoo both spoke yesterday after National Transformation Alliance (NTA) leader Gary Griffith said in a newspaper report that if the UNC did not want to form a proper alliance with his party to contest the next general election, it would fight both UNC and PNM in all 41 constituencies.

Griffith said he had “no idea of the UNC’s position on an alliance with NTA and the UNC’s leader hadn’t spoken to him for the last three months or communicated with him on any form of alliance”. He claimed some UNC Natex members felt the party could win elections on its own.

Noting UNC’s June 15 Natex elections, Griffith said he hoped whoever wins the internals would understand the UNC had only ever won an election on its own in 2000 and he hoped they’d do what is right “to get into Government”.

At a meeting in St Joseph last month, Griffith, alluding to the NTA’s “bridge” role, declared, “To those who ask what we bring to the table, is: without us, you all cannot win!”

Yesterday, Paray replied to the T&T Guardian on if he supports an alliance with Griffith’s NTA and if a United Patriots-led Natex would officially cement this.

He said, “All relationships are important in national development. The PNM has destroyed the fabric of our society, where they haven’t been able to provide simple things that matter to citizens—from water to school repairs. How will they solve major national issues like crime suppression/reduction, balance of trade, foreign exchange, joblessness, homelessness?”

He added, “Unless there are calls from our wider membership advising a different approach, a Natex driven by the United Patriots slate will welcome dialogue by any persons or organisations interested in national development. The UNC must always be a home to every citizen in T&T. All must be welcomed.”

Paray was also asked if the open door/welcome approach would apply to parties like Mickela Panday’s Patriotic Front, Philip Alexander’s Progressive Empowerment Party (PEP) and Timothy Hamel-Smith’s HOPE.

Paray replied, “All means all.”

Meanwhile, UNC chairman Tancoo, maintaining that the executive and the entity as a party had openly pursued national unity, said, “The latest court ruling against PDVSA, the abysmal state of the economy, the crime ‘tsunami’, water shortages and multitude of other issues affecting from people from home to school and business all make the PNM desperate to have distractions from this.

“Rest assured the UNC’s focused and will continue challenging the Government to highlight their failure and emphasise our plans for a better Trinbago.”

Regarding today’s deadline for the withdrawal of candidates from the Natex election, Tancoo said, “There’s a full Star slate which remains committed and resolute to working with our political leader to ensure we rescue our country from this destructive corrupt Government.”

On Monday, UNC’s Election management team will announce validly nominated candidates for the election and a list for the June 12 special voters, and the final voters’ list for each constituency will be posted. Final results will be announced June 21.

Alexander: PEP may pull out

of 2025 race

Via a social media post yesterday, PEP leader Phillip Alexander signalled the possibility that his party may not contest the next general election, noting that no other small party “is making a difference in the next election - none”!

“HOPE hopeless—99 per cent of the people reading this don’t even know it exists. NTA never was, COP dead since before (Carolyn) Seepersad-Bachan. Bas ‘Front’ party was dead when he was alive. Now he dead, it properly dead. But expect them all to make a mess,” Alexander said.

“That’s why we in the PEP have decided we will most likely not take any part in the next election. With all that mess, all that will happen is PNM will win and with votes fractured into bits—probably the biggest victory they have ever had.”

Alexander added, “Unless all serious forces opposed to the PNM unite (including all factions of the UNC) any other permutation would be a complete waste of time, effort and money...”

NACTA: UNC members dissatisfied with current executive

UNC members are dissatisfied with the performance of the incumbent members of the party's national executive (natex) and remain concerned over the fairness of the UNC's internal elections on June 15.

These were some of the findings contained in a North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA) survey released on June 7.

The ongoing survey was based on the response of 520 people representing the demographic composition of the population

NACTA said UNC members nationwide unanimously supported the principle of participatory intra-party democracy, in which members have a voice in selection of the party leader and other executives and candidates for elective national and local elective office, as well as in other aspects of the functioning of a party.

But NACTA added, "Almost every respondent in the ongoing survey expressed a lack of confidence in the integrity of the opposition UNC internal elections slated for June 15. They also expressed widespread dissatisfaction in the performance of most members of the natex."

Most of these members are standing for re-election to the natex on the Star slate, which is endorsed by UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, whose post is not up for election on June 15.

A separate election for Persad-Bissessar's post will be held next year.

All other posts on the natex are up for grabs.

NACTA said, "Voters nationwide say that if the UNC is to be taken seriously the party’s election committee should hold a credible election that does not give advantage to any of the two competing slates and should be above reproach."

But, NACTA continued, only registered UNC members are eligible to vote on June 15.

"The survey is projecting a higher turnout than the last internal in 2022 but significantly reduced from 2001 and 2010. The findings of the survey reveal that if the elections were open in which party supporters could vote, there would be a change in the natex."

NATCA said with only registered members being allowed to vote, the Persad-Bissessar-endorsed Star slate enjoys an advantage over the rival Patriots slate with grassroots UNC supporters going into the elections.

"Star, respondents point out, is being backed by 14 MPs, party organs and machinery, and some 70 councillors and aldermen. Only five MPs and a handful of councillors are with the Patriots."

The five MPs are Rushton Paray, Dinesh Rambally, Anita Haynes-Alleyne and Dr Rai Ragbir.

Paray and Haynes-Alleyne are each challenging for deputy political leader posts on the Patriots slate.

While the current scenario hints at a landslide victory for the Star slate, NACTA said an upset victory by the Patriots cannot be ruled out, given the "widespread dissatisfaction in the performance of most members of the natex."

There remains the possibility, NACTA continued, of "cross-slate voting with many voters disapproving of incumbents in the Star slate that are a negative draw."

The survey repeated the findings of previous surveys on the UNC internal elections, in which voters remain concerned about the elections being manipulated in favour of the incumbent Natex, and the inability of the party to defeat the PNM in next year's general election should a Star-led or -dominated natex be in charge of the UNC going into that election.

NACTA said the majority of UNC members maintain a change in the status quo in the party's natex will give the UNC a more robust chance of removing the PNM from office next year.

But NACTA added that UNC members repeat the views in previous surveys that unless intra-party democracy is shown to be strong in the UNC on June 15, and if the UNC fails to expand its base, it will lose to the PNM.

Based on recent surveys and current predictions, NACTA said, "The PNM is projected to pick up four seats from UNC in Trinidad with a competitive contest for two seats in Tobago. But regardless of the outcome in Tobago, the PNM will win enough seats in Trinidad to retain office. Voters, including supporters of the UNC, do not view the current composition of the UNC as a viable alternative to the PNM."

[Country_Bookie]

Rushton Paray would have more credibility if he didn't have Dr Rai Ragbir on his slate. The stories I've heard about the good Dr suggest he's a full-fledged crook. All kinda allegations of blatant thievery from his own colleagues.

Plus, he is the MP for a constituency to which he has little connection. It's like UNC does no screening before they foist these people on the nation. The days of selecting people to represent your party in a rum shop based on who know who are long gone.

Political analyst tells Kamla: PM’s endorsement should be a concern
https://www.guardian.co.tt/news/political-analyst-tells-kamla-pms-endorsement-should-be-a-concern-6.2.2023372.4b76fdc17c

Political analyst Dr Winford James says Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley’s recent endorsement of Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s leadership of the UNC is strategic as the general election looms. While speaking on the Supplementation of Appropriation by $2.3 billion in the House of Representatives on Friday, the Prime Minister backed Persad-Bissessar’s position as leader of the United National Congress.

“The Opposition leader, fuming about everything, hoping for a knock out punch, Madame Speaker on the 16th of June those flimsy arms will knock out nobody and I could say Madame Speaker as I support her, leave her right there because I support her. Don’t move her, leave her right there,” Rowley said then.

The UNC’s national executive elections (NATEX) take place next Saturday. Mayaro MP Rushton Paray is leading a slate called United Patriots, while Persad-Bissessar has thrown her support behind the star Slate.

Speaking on the unusual endorsement yesterday, James contended that the UNC’s leader is being considered an easy political foe and it is something Persad-Bissessar should not take lightly.

“We must think that he most likely is talking tongue in cheek and he is giving the impression that Kamla is so inept in her leadership that her presence as political leader is going to benefit the PNM. We cannot think that Rowley was being wholeheartedly and genuinely in support of Kamla because they are political foes,” he said.

James also explained that the political undertones in the Prime Minister’s comments speak to the concerns that have surfaced about Persad-Bissessar’s ability to steer the party to victory at the polls.

“If he is serious then what he’s asking us to believe is that Kamla is good for him, if Kamla is good for him then she cannot be good for the UNC, if you follow that line of argument or reasoning. If he is sincere with what he is saying then that is bad for Kamla,” he added.

Recently at a cottage meeting, the head of the United Patriots slate, Paray expressed his frustration at losing a series of elections under Persad-Bissessar. Paray, who is contesting the post of deputy political leader said yesterday that he was not perturbed by Rowley’s support for Persad-Bissesar’s continued leadership.

“Parliamentary piccong is to be expected, the PNM continues to be our common enemy so I get no joy at any time Dr Rowley says anything against any of my colleagues in the Parliament. The enemy is not the UNC, it is not my colleagues,” Paray said.

Paray asserted that with less than one week until the UNC’s internal election, he was confident of victory for his slate against members of the Star slate.

“The team is very motivated, we are out across every constituency and the feeling is that we are in for a large win on Saturday and as leader of the slate I speak to the candidates and encourage them to meet the membership and I think the country is in for a surprise.”

Efforts to contact Persad-Bissessar yesterday about the Prime Minister’s comments were unsuccessful.
