For all your so called learning, and 1st world, global , sophistication, sometimes TMan , you come across as a borderline illiterate, Central bozo , with limited understanding ,as to how politics really works- ANY WHERE , MUCH LESS T&T.
All I can add to the above quoted idiocy is ,REMEMBER Fiji, while warning you dat T&T , ain’t no Sri Lanka , or South Afrika,but most importantly , be careful, when going down dat typical ,simplistic ,tribalist partway mi amigo. Never shake a sleeping Anaconda .
The reasons are simple – the only time your ULF/ UNC, ever won election in this country, was via an alliance/ coalition , with folks they abhor ,but were practical/ astute enough to appreciate their importance.
If history is any indication, and they choose to follow advice of clueless , European adoring expats like yourself,or fake religious civic leaders , pretending to be caring ,patriotic citizens , then we know how dis script would end , yes?
Sing Birdie! One can tell dat T- Man ,and similar folks , ain’t understand history. Triumphalism rules, but can have dire consequences. Hopefully even you are smart can decipher what I am alluding to here mi amigo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ46gIxo4CM
Ain’t it your leader ,in her Majestick ,Queen K , who said vote for me , as I am a woman ,much different to the male clowns ,that preceded me ? Did she not claim to have strong belief in de Obama change mantra , that likewise helped propel him to power ? If so , then it’s time for her to deliver to desperate voters – especially those who were taken for granted by Trini politicians across the so called ,racial divide, for decades , and quit running for de next election, Si?
Just lay back my friend and watch democracy unfold , but just remember ,it did not simply evolve two years ago. If you doubt me , then ask Uncle Raffique Shah, as even he would attest to de fact ,that he would be a dead man 42 year ago ,if …….. was ruling de political roost, hmmmmmmmm?
I luv dis land folks, and get’s such sadistic pleasure , when I am in a position to enlighten delusional citizens!

Do you not think that it is about time that some attention be paid to the South, an area which POS people have a habit of prejudically denigrating?

For too long POS has been the beneficiary of the resources of the state, most of which have flowed from the South. Time, determination and excellent work habits have positioned people from the South in advantageous lifestyles with regard to wealth acquisition.
All we keep hearing from the recesses of POS is how much they want to government to give them and it is especially worse now that the government is perceived as being “Indian”.
