Seeing as they put Tourism under Trade maybe they are negotiating for one of the Tobago MPs to fall een as minister there.

Bloated cabinet.

This goes back to people not understand the roles and functions of our government. An MP doesn't need to be a minister. We have a culture of gimme gimme whereby because somebody win a seat or went up for a seat then they expect a ministry portfolio etc.

Tanty trying to please too many people.

Honestly Tobago shouldn't get anything unless they will to forfeit that seat to the UNC. For all intents and purposes TPP is the third least powerful party in the parliament. UNC doesn't need TPP votes if they can get PNM etc. TPP is after all another member of the opposition.

I think this has part to do with strengthening ties with the US. I honestly think Kamla wants nothing to do with maduro and Venezuela will now be our enemy as we begin to lock them off.Noticr her other point as well, she is going to check the state of the treasury .Well something will have to give because the status quo cannot remain the same.... workers are on 2013 salaries we are in 2025. No government has ever come out and let the citizens know the exact readings of the treasury we always taking the words of " honest " politicians. I want to see what we were banning our bellies for after all these years and I'm glad imbert is around as he alot of questions to answer

MPs exert power on the PM tho. If any defect then you get into a Club 88 situation and potentially bring down the whole govt. Think of it as securing their loyalty by making them an integral part of the govt and accountable to the electorate.

TPP was close to being the decider in a 2/3 majority but now them in no man's land (not buccoo)

THE FINAL ADDITION TO THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE THE MINISTER OF TRADE, INVESTMENT AND TOURISM
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says the person is out of the country, and will be named later on.
She addressed the Media following the Swearing-in Ceremony of her government at President's House.
Our Reporter Urvashi Tiwari-Roopnarine spoke with Persad-Bissessar for this interview.

Yeah but that is only if party discipline is low? Those Mps belong to a party as well so wouldn't the party be able to maintain some kind of discipline to keep them from defecting or becoming disgruntled?

Apart from salary increase, what other benefits an mp gets from having a ministry? Power? So if a party get 41 seats then they have to look for position for all 41?

I think by now, the country can settle on ministries that are core and add a couple based on our present realities.

They have not surrendered those seats the government. Technically they are part of the opposition. The UNC could get 2/3 from the PNM.

TPP needs to surrender those seats to government that way it becomes 28 automatically etc. Right now they want to have one foot in and one foot out. I suspect they have found themselves to be at a weak negotiating position.

But theoretically it's possible meaning TPP aint have much negotiating room again. They thought they election would have been close causing Tobago to become king maker but reality proved otherwise. The question now is are they an opposition party or are they going to be part of the government?

If they are an opposition party then are they expected to vote against the government?
