Very important

It took them months to figure out if it's 33 or 34?

In reply to anthonyp

Rioting is on the menu...

Then uncle Sam will show up and "solve" the problem

I’m not going to say much about the ruling along the race line (nothing new to Guyana) but I’ll say that its not so bad to delay the PPP taking power once again

Gives time for something better to emerge...I thought that better something was the coalition but the answer is a clear NO

In reply to Dan_De_Lyan

Well the PPP/C already started country wide protests from today.

It's on to the Caribbean Court of Justice now for the final say..

Politics in this country ain't easy

65/2 is 34...LOL

In reply to anthonyp

They protested the result of the general elections a few years back and people ignored them
Let’s see what happens now

In reply to anthonyp

You cat have morons preside over incompetence.

You always need a clear set of eyes, usually an outsider


Legal issues interpreted differently.

This is like a boxing match.

Judge Cummin and gregory jaculated pnc
Judge Persaud..jaculated ppp

In reply to Raskil

Agreed
By the way where did simple and absolute majority come from? Those terms are not in the constitution.
What is majority of 66?

In reply to Raskil

Absolutely nothing..they only wasting poster board and ink.

a pack of racist guyanese bloviating in here ...yall ought to be ashamed of yourselves...no wonder people in the caribbean and world at large, have little respect for the remnant racist that can't see past their evil thoughts......it wasn't racism when the CJ ruled for the NC, but it;s racist when the two, learned black judges used their legal knowledge, based on legal precedence , iThe indian judge by right, ruled according to his knowledge, and people respect that, but yall haven't deemed him pro jagdeo or ppp though....

Honestly, thankfully, i've lived with and known some good indian Guyanese, but this particular clique in the backroom, are a sorry set of racists...

Thankfully, Guyana is moving away from our sordid past of institutionalized racism, that jagdeo and the majority of his cabal still embrace ..... in Guyana, the largest growing demographic is "mixed race"...Guyana's history is in the "mixed race"demographic....

Jagdeo presided over the most corrupt time in the history of the caribbean, yet none of you said a word, because many of you and your families/friends benefited immensely from the corruption..... now the gravy train of corrution has dried up, and the drugs that fueled the private sector, has disappeared, yall and the evil businessmen annoyed, and ebginnered the betrayal by the usurper on 21st Decemer...but guess what?....God has a sense of humour....

and yall have the audacity to attack Mr. Grandger as a corrupt man.... granger??? corrupt??.... you had a problem with his race...that's the problem this backroom clique has..... you, like jagdeo, are extremely prejudiced....yes....
God bless you all....
and Guyana could do well without "citizens" like you....

In reply to jala

So you're subscribing to jumbie mathematics. Put aside all racist BS.

Does the Guyana constitution say "simple" or "absolute" majority. ?

Should any bill or law passed with 33 votes be deemed invalid? Or just important ones.

In any case APNU AFC is done come next elections.

What ever happen to the Guyneez's, 'fair & square'...

Wow this is some crazy shit. Leaving out becoming a comedy scene now the upholding of this absolute majority argument is really stirring up trouble along rascist lines. Sad but on the other hand I believe I am gonna challenge the validity of a recent Board election I lost 5 to 4 in a 9 member board. Shoulda been 6 !

Shameless!

In reply to maj

What is majority of 66?
If CP had not voted with opposition, 33 votes would not have held the ruling party in power then?

In reply to Runs

simple or absolute?

In reply to jala

you are the guy that was labeled a Jackass? right?

Keep pulling cart in GT selling souse

In reply to jacksparrow

Both, do voodoo maths

This ruling by the court of appeal is not valid if we do the PNC math.
3.2 = 1.5
round up 1.5= 2.0
majority is 1 more than 2
therefore majority is 3.0. Since only 2 of the judges ruled in favour then the ruling is not by majority.

In reply to Runs

In reply to maj

65 - 34 majority 32 minority? But ruling party does not have 34MP’s
Lawyers are definitely not mathematicians wtf they think they know it all?
Flawed flawed flawed

In reply to Chrissy

And I hope the Guyanese people (the opposition party) abide by the rule of law and accept the ruling of the judiciary.

Elections are not far off and if the majority of Guyanese believes the opposition should form the new government then so be it.

I am happy for this ruling.

My only question is how is 33 a majority to govern and pass legislation but not one in a no confidence vote?

[b]In reply to Runs[/b

In reply to Maispwi

exactly...how de ass yuh can govern and pass laws with 33 when it's not a majority???

In reply to Emir

Shameless!

In reply to jala

What's that rant about and who is it directed at? More sophisticated legal minds know that High Court decision is seriously flawed.

In reply to ray

They said the NCM is held to a higher standard lol mind you these are all their standards and has nothing to do with what is in the constitution. It is pellucidly clear in the wording that the majority is the deciding factor. Not a simple majority nor an absolute majority. Furthermore if that was to be the deciding factor it would have been inserted in the constitution.

In the US Senate the VP votes in the tiebreaker.

Jala where’s the oil contract money

In reply to ray

Yep..all this time 33..was good.

In reply to maj Socishitists are hypoorcretens - they just want powder; they will not relinquish power, easily! See how the Demoncraps are now acting in the USA. Btw, of course, you know, by now, that the PNC, PNM & the PNP are of the same cloth!?

The law must be respected, but the current government will be even "more toothless" now. How will they ever obtain 34 votes to pass anything?

In reply to Norm

Ans all dem dual citizens have to go...from both sides

In reply to Narper

Also, everything that was passed with a 33-vote majority should now be declared invalid.

What a waste!

If an absolute majority of 65 is 34 how do we calculate the minority? Remember we rounded up 65/2 = 32.5 to 33 for the majority plus 1 = 34 for absolute majority. Do we round down for the minority? If we round up we have a 33 minority

In reply to Runs

Hola...don,t be a smart alec..it has to be rounded up and plus 1..if you just round up you then get 32.5 plus 33 which is 65.5 you cannot get .50 in this equation..so please figure it out..
the ruling is correct..because .5 is not a whole
Adios
CB

In reply to CITYBOY

Majority of 65 is 33, 1/2 of 65=32.5 rounded up is 33. Like you went to August school. Where did absolute come from? Certainly nowhere in the constitution
Now answer my question what constitutes the minority of 65?
By the way I have no pony in this race.

Australia

In the Australian Parliament, a motion of no-confidence requires a majority of the members present in the House of Representatives to agree to it. The House of Representatives currently consists of 150 members; requiring 76 votes in favour of the motion when all members of the House are present.
