Why would she need to debate with some market hooligans?

agreed... but i doubt she debates with Moonilal, Suruj and Anand so I dunno why you bring that up

[rfari]

Ure right. Shes above that

[pioneer]

She has more pressing matters to deal with

A Prime Minister doesn't need to be on TV cyakin with some idiots

Especially after seeing what the other parties brought last time, there's no need for her to be there.

[eliteauto]

yet she has the time to cyak on a platform begging for votes almost nightly right right

[rfari]

Right right...

Anyways jw in pinto lata. Gonna brace him for a jersey wid a 5 hunjed wrap up in it and a 10 days

[pioneer]

Thaz part of campaigning ie more pressing matters to deal with.

Better than pnm's "believe" lololololol.......lol

[j.o.e]

its sad when the PM is such a laibility that she needs to distance herself from her own partnership...she must be tired of getting licks over and over at the polls..more to come. The night of the Chaguanas West election she,Ameen and Marlene Coudray locked themselves in a room to cry. I lol'd....after the next couple defeats I suspect she may consider stepping down before the General Election

[rfari]

Jw speed up pinto yes. I dawt rima that bad he cyar even touch d road and greet the locals. Stewps. Pnm for it yes

[tourniquet]

PP rode the change coat tails in 2010, maybe is PNM time now to use the latter part of the slogan
wouldn't doubt if this is a favorite during rallies:

[kaylex]

he was up calavary last week .... had a grand crowd of 50...
by the market he got between 400-500
Moving fwd with the Ilp

[zoom rader]

PNM says to "believe"

Believe what exactly?...that they will take us back another 20 years?

Nah bai it's a rehash 2030 of 2020, same old ideas, taxes, gang leaders and scamps PNM style.

Just heard it on the news: Prakash Ramadhar will be representing the PP at the next debate.

The PM has chickened out.

I think the PM didnt chicken out, her request to use her teleprompter was denied and out of spite she decided not to go.

[eliteauto]

[kaylex]

On a lighter note.. lets not forget the independents

Leader of the Congress of the People, Prakash Ramadhar will represent the People's Partnership at the Leaders’ Debate
13 October 2013 at 15:09
Office of The Prime Minister

The leadership of the People's Partnership has decided that Congress of the People (COP) leader the Honourable Prakash Ramadhar, MP, will represent the Partnership in the political leaders' debate on Tuesday on national television.
The Partnership took this decision in order to give a voice to the COP and its leader since the Trinidad and Tobago Debates Commission, which has organised the debates, refused to allow COP to participate while allowing the Movement for Social Justice to be a participant.
The Partnership is of the view that the only way for us to redress this is by affording the COP a place in the debates out of respect for our coalition partner. The UNC had its turn last Thursday when one of the party’s Deputy Leader, The Honourable Surujrattan Rambachan, MP, participated in the debate for senior party representatives.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissesssar agrees with her cabinet colleague and former COP leader the Honourable Winston Dookeran, MP, that the COP should have been accorded a space in the debates. In is in that context that she agreed to forfeit her right in order to permit the leader of the COP to appear.
The Debates Commission has said that it regards the PP as a coalition and therefore only one party can come to the debate. The PP has therefore decided to allow one of its leaders to take part in the debate on the following grounds:
The COP is an independent party that is the second largest party in an alliance with the UNC, the TOP and NJAC
The MSJ belongs to an alliance with the PNM called the Round Table and they have consistently shared platforms and public marches together in 2012 and in 2013 with their last joint public march being held a few months ago, yet the MSJ has been allowed to have a separate place at the forum while being in the Round Table Alliance with the PNM
The PNM and the MSJ have never publicly stated that they are no longer in an alliance with each other and so they remain partners in the Round Table
The Debates Commission has erroneously classified the PP as a political party when it is not
The Debates Commission ought to have allowed the COP to debate like the MSJ and the PNM that are allies
If the Debates Commission is serious about forging a new standard of democracy, it must understand the nature of political alliances and coalitions.

We are confident that Mr. Ramadhar, as a senior member of cabinet and a leader of one of the parties in our coalition, would professionally present the Partnership's position during the debate.

This screams of Suruj behind this. Falling cans anyone?

[eliteauto]

[pioneer]

[j.o.e]

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[Chimera]

Why would she need to debate with some market hooligans?

agreed... but i doubt she debates with Moonilal, Suruj and Anand so I dunno why you bring that up

[Habit7]

Maybe the PP realised that the debate required someone with a profession background that includes being verbose, convincing and the ability to think on one's feet as Dr Rambachan demostrated with his doctorate in communications. Especially since there will be such formidable opponents like a vulcanologist, a history teacher and an economist.

Maybe it is a good idea to put someone like a lawyer in Prakash who has experience in debating in a court of law. This will truly show the strength and power of the COP.

What does the SC stand for in front of the PM's name?

[sMASH]

Growley and uncle Jack will not debate as such, they would be on attack and one-ups-up-manship mode. Kamla not on par with them.
Not everyone can be good debaters.
And if you have pawns to play, there is no need to sacrifice your queen.


It 'may' have been out of weakness but it IS the more intelligent move.

[pioneer]

I don't see the big deal, this is a coalition government with many parties being part of said coalition.

It is physically impossible to host all the leaders, so why not send the leader of one of the parties?

[Ted_v2]

Ifff you see the size of stage kamla them setting up out my street. Flood lamps and thing set up. Rent a amp ect.

The drain on the location is plugged. I lol'ed
