He was a month peice for PNM in 1995 and shared was anti Indian because of UNC.paid_influencer wrote:i eh know the man, but I could tell you this position of only praise for the dead is horsechit.
No sir , the fact of the matter is why would I vote for someone who never went through the hardships most afro trinis face. Does Stuart know about stereotypes that ppl face because you live in a certain area such as Morvant and Sealots, does he know about waiting for payday to meet his commitments that need urgent attention like milk and pampers for your child, does he know about the trials and stigma most afro trinis face. He knows nothing about such nor has any experience on that so why vote for someone who was never in that predicament. What he know about hard lifeeliteauto wrote:So the presumption is if you're of Afro-Trini descent you know about starving? Lol
I think Paria Man was pretty open since around the time of the 2015 elections that he was voting for PNM.wing wrote:Not playing any character.

He wrote articles against the Panday UNC calling it Chuttey rasing.
Few here will remember his bias reporting and attacking Panday during his term.
Good riddance to all his all half truths and innuendos
This is a low post, even by your standards.
Think allyuh need to know how to come out of character for a lil while.

THE People's National Movement's (PNM) General Council has the power to speak out and put pressure on the decision by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to use a straw poll to select this country's prime minister, says PNM stalwart Ferdie Ferreira.
'That General Council meeting is very important, in that it gives the party the opportunity to ensure that the constitutional process which has precedence is followed. The time has come for country before party, party before leader,' he said in an interview with the Express yesterday.
The PNM's General Council is set to meet this Saturday at Balisier House.
Ferreira praised former labour minister Jennifer Baptiste-Primus for being courageous to speak out against the process.
'That is what the party needs, for people to get up and say, 'Look, chief, this is wrong!'' he said.
'The onus now is on the General Council, that is the supreme body outside of the annual convention, to ensure their own anthem, 'Great is the PNM', is upheld. This is the opportunity to ensure that 'Great is the PNM and it shall prevail', Prime Minister or no Prime Minister,' he said.
He said former prime ministers Dr Eric Williams, George Chambers and Patrick Manning have all gone, and so too will Rowley, but the PNM will remain.
1973 precedent
Ferreira also rubbished claims that Chambers was appointed prime minister without the purview of the PNM party.
He said before Chambers was appointed as prime minister, that matter was first taken to the PNM, then chaired by Francis Prevatt.
'No president is going to be that stupid to appoint somebody who doesn't enjoy the confidence of the party,' he said.
Ferreira said there is also precedent where in September 24, 1973, Williams came to the party's convention and announced he was retiring from public life.
'The convention met on the following Saturday morning and took the decision requesting him to reconsider. On October 1, he wrote to the party's former chairman, Boysie Prevatt, and he said he is not available and proceed to select a new leader,' he said.
He said in 2011, former Jamaican prime minister Bruce Golding resigned and, in the process of tendering his resignation, he recommended Andrew Holness at the parliamentary caucus.
He said they approved it and then he went to the executive council of the Jamaica Labour Party to get its approval.
'And this is what should have been done,' he said.
He said after Holness became prime minister and they went to the general election, the Jamaican Labour Party lost.
He said there will be a quandary with Young as prime minister not having full support.
'I think the first problem of the Prime Minister is how is he going to deal with nine members of the parliamentary caucus, including Cabinet members, who knew what he wanted and voted against it,' he said.
He said such a decision should not have been made unless there was full support of the parliamentary council.
He noted the comments of Senior Counsel Martin Daly, who said that Young has been placed in a vulnerable position.
'You have a very good product, but if you don't market it properly, it becomes a disaster,' he said.
Dual leadership
Ferreira said he has no problem with Young, but the process must be followed.
He noted Rowley has been saying since 2020 that he does not intend to continue in electoral political life.
'Dr Rowley had five years to initiate the process to avoid all of this,' he said.
He said the course of action being taken is likely to result in dual leadership where there is a PNM leader and prime minister, which is 'unacceptable and unworkable'.
He said Williams said he was going in 1973, before the general election in 1976, and, therefore, he would have ensured the party had time to select a new leader.
Ferreira said what is happening now is neither good for the country or the party.
Political analyst Mukesh Basdeo said yesterday that Young is in a vulnerable position because if he is appointed prime minister without 21 signatures, he will therefore be a leader with a minority in the Parliament, given that the Opposition has 19 seats.
He said if the Opposition were to file a no-confidence motion in Young and the nine members voted in favour of it, the PNM Government will collapse
Well explained by Ferdie
The question is, will the general council have the gall to tell keith no to stuart? If they do, it confirms divisions in the pnm and the risk of further party embarrassment publicly which gives opposition forces political material on the campaign trial.
If after all this brouhaha, the council bends the knee and agrees to stuart, those who made noise will look like fools and would be dealt with when the dust settles.
No younger people are not going to gravitate towards PNM because all they see are the same two parties. Young ppl want more options, as they fed up of both parties.Most young ppl aren't even following up politics as that's just not their focus to begin with. If you want to create a perception of youth , remove imbert, hinds, penny , camille ,all the old heads and create a fresh slate of bright vibrant young ppl. Changing the figurehead does nothing when you have the same old heads sitting and lurking in the shadows.DMan7 wrote:You all don't understand, its not just about youth, its about the perception of youth. Youth by its very definition means bringing some new, out with the old way of thinking and in with the new. You don't think younger people not going to gravitate towards Young as PM who otherwise are fed up of all the old fowls in politics?
Also T&T politics isn't USA politics, Kamala also lost I believe because she's a woman and americans aren't ready to embrace a female president. One could say Trump only defeated women as his opposition, in 2016 against Clinton and 2024 against Kamala, lost to a man in 2020 against Biden.
