The five greatest MP's alive:

Kamala
Kamala
Kamala
Kamala

and Kamala

/ChapelleVoice

[RASC]

What this shows is a clear lack of respect for the electorate.

"We will give you a candidate when we feel fit and you go still vote for them because you are our sheep."

That is EXACTLY what they're saying. Imagine you as a resident in a so called safe seat have not even been able to meet your candidate look them in the eye and ask them a question, hear their plans for your neighborhood or learn anything about them. Total collapse of the democratic principles...

They're giving them whatever and expecting the masses to vote for whatever.

[De Dragon]

I'm still surprised that with literally LESS than a month to go the pp hasn't put up all their candidates yet.

Matters not unfortunately, as people vote party and not candidate. The polls have winners for several such seats with no named candidate.

[Daran]

Our governing system allows very little power to MPs, which is also the general consensus I hope.

I live in a marginal and the winner doesn't always automatically get back the seat the next time so it matters.

I would have thought it obvious that with her extremely favourable poll numbers that they would push her image as representative of the party.

Representative yes, but the UNC name nowhere on that cover/poster. its as if they hiidng they party. If they not careful, some people going to go into the polling booth looking for KAMLA .

Whats this talk about UNC putting forward a candidate for Tunapuna? What happen to prakash?

Look to see if Sando West also goes to a UNC candidate.

As an aside though . Hamlyn Jailal vs Esmonde Forde is going to be the most important race in the entire election. Who win this seat will decide the election. And I barely know who these two fellas is. We come a long way from Eddie Hart and Mervyn Assam.

Forde was my councillor when I was in Tunapuna. I was told he was very approachable and effective. He lives opposite Tunapuna Presbyterian Primary. Never really dealt with him but I believe he has it in the bag. Among Tunapunians Forde has more notoriety and track record than Jailal.

Yup Esmond is well known, his grandmother was the go-to preschool for many in Tunapuna in the 70's and 80's, he's very approachable, accessible and well known he's also the Dep Chair of the TPRC. Jailal started becoming visible about 2 years ago with Christmas hampers and events, he was also instrumental in opening the UNC office in Tunapuna

[Hyperion]

Hamlyn Jailal's name has been called in several questionable NIPDEC contracts, etc.

Any contract SIS didn't get is cuz they didn't want it. The bias towards them is blatant and very disgusting. The money they made in the last 5 years is obscene. They and the gov't care nothing about what the pop. thinks and knows.

3 cheers for the yellow army... Is a special kinda smart could vote for this

UNC meeting rally/meeting last night ...tassa blasting and two men wining on each other.

Anyone have the vid? It's making the rounds on social media...

[BRZ]

BOTH of the main parties in Trinidad need a thorough "weeding out" . All the old heads NEED to get out, only then will the thievery and dishonesty slow down.

Jack Warner has announced his candidacy for Chaguanas East. I really doubt the UNC is going to give Cadiz the nod now, excellent political strategy by Mr Warner considering the previous MP was PNM and the last polls division was around 4K votes

why???

The Ballah report said the original PNM stole 66% of the petro dollars

The Airport COE said the airport cost 1.6B but they could only see 600M worth of work.-66% disappear

Same story...separated by decades and political allegiance.

UML box drain contractors making 300% on their money....Campaign finance 101.

its the SYSTEM that enables this....

Change the system and our people will step up.

leave it and they will do as little as possible to get by

What is Kamala's plan for HOMOSEXUALITY moving forward?
UNC has a disproportionate number of members of the gay and lesbian community, yet she has not addressed their concerns.

This was her last position.

Probably the same thing Dr. Rowley would say as well. A position either way would be a problem. To come out and say you're going to decriminalize would lose you the support of all the bible thumpers and to say that there's no place in Trinidad for that would make the whole western world think you're a bigot and possibly lose investment potential. No way either party will take a firm stance on this just before an election.

I disagree. Chag West was his base, he could a still pull off a narrow victory there. Fighting in Chag East means PNM takes the seat. .....unless that's the plan.

I work as a Poll Clark already. Trinis could be dotish eh. I predicting some people will go in there look for Kamla name, not see it and spoil they ballot.

If that's the case election done then. Tunapuna is the deciding seat.
