This is exactly why this country will never change and our governmentS will not change, because they know no matter what they do people will only cry and shout and protect for 2 days until they get hungry then forget it, roll over and keep quiet.
Our people rarely stand together for any cause...… injustice to our people has been our problem since E Williams first started his corrupt sh1t and brought in Caribbean people from all over and gave them false hope in exchange for putting them into power.

Since the President is our monarchy, that office holder acts as a rubber stamp on many things. But I rather the current setup and associated benefits than to have say an executive president or prime minister. That will not be a very democratic move.

We the people do not get to select or vote on our current President.
We would be able to vote on an Executive President whether through direct or indirect means.

Which one do you think is more democratic??

[agent007]

Got ya, but we do indirectly influence who becomes our president currently, not so?
