Spying Into The Future
This is an election year and it seems like once again, like déjà
vu the population want to change the government. And once again, the government just doesn’t
get it. They are adamant on winning the election. A lot of money will be spent on a futile
cause. It was the same in the last
general election.
The PNM, Patrick Manning administration did not get it. When it hit them like a ton of brick, Mr.
Manning could not hide his surprise. The
people who supported him turned on him and chased him out of the party
headquarters. To Mr. Manning, the PNM
party and his supporters the results devastated them. Everyone else knew it was inevitable.
Trinidad and Tobago is for all intent and purposes a two
party state. All the other parties and
the independents are usually left out of the race.
The present government pushed for constitutional change that
would affect the upcoming elections but after a lot of heat the fire has cooled
down. It is rumored that it will not be
signed by the President because if it passed before the elections it will help
the opposition more than the incumbent party.
And they were the ones who were pushing for it to passed post haste.
In my humble opinion, I am no politician or analyst but the
incumbent party will experience an awakening like the PNM had theirs five years
ago. It does not matter what legislation
they are able to put in place, how much money they spend or how well they run
their campaign, they will lose. The
people have had enough and they cannot pay all the people who want them out.
The only way the smaller parties or the independents will
make a difference is to focus and generate a following based on a solid
ideological position. The PNM will win
the next election without a doubt because there are no other significant choices. They will win by default.
There are rumors about Mr. Rowley management style, his
arrogance and aloofness. It is also my
opinion that the Prime Minister according to the constitution has too much
power. Power corrupts what is good. Just imagine what it does with someone who
has no moral compass. That is not something we have to try hard to imagine.
They say everyone has one and I just showed mine. If you have
one you can leave a comment below.

ReplyDeleteFunny, we say this is a paradise; but no matter where we turn, we read, hear, feel this 'nigga and coolie' words by the ilkes as Anonymous at 7:48 a.m. I'd rather have a man with a level of aloofness, than the kind of representation we have at this time. The last time I voted for a woman cause she may have a more humane touch, perhaps the aloofness will come closer to my expectation. And that aloofness could be from Indian, African, Chinese, Syrians - race doesn't matter - honesty leads to integrity whether we are friendly or aloof!
