fairest election?

Guyana is known for its racial problems.

Jamaica was known for violence associated with political parties.

Which Island's election does not leave a bitter taste in the mouth?

whats up with these journalists in Guyana? Dont they research facts and claims or just go with hearsay? People stand up and make allegations without any supporting evidence and they run with it. Reminds of an old story my mom used to tell me about the lady who was told- look look the man thief your nose, and without checking she ran off behind the guy lol

Correct. But that reputation relates to two election campaigns 1976 and 1980. And the main man behind the violence is no longer with us.

Actually the numbers in TT are virtually even. Indians-37%, africans36%. 20-25% of the population is mixed however. Thats what makes it interesting

You know what mate I have thought about that,but it appears far fetched.The colonial masters knew very well what they were doing when they put Indians,Afros and Chinese together,all ah dem hate each other no matter how much Doughlar they have.Didn't Rudyard Kipling have something to say about East and West,"never the twain shall meet" how fucking true.
The fucking people wining with each other,grinding with each other,marrying each other,running off with other and they don't vote for each other.Sometimes I meet Trinis and ah cyah say for sure if they are Indo or Afro.
If yuh see me and my family you wouldn't know our family race,since I was a little boy I wanted to see Trinidad become one big mixture,by now we should have had more than 25% mix.
I would like to tell the Indians of Trinidad to give up politics, maybe for 10 years and allow another party take their place,see how things go then.

In reply to granite It was just to jook the political elites! They need to stop this angst & fractiousness when it comes to politics/elections. Full stop.

Our politics in TT and Guyana is backward and race is what counts,not how government perform.I am well aware that 37% of the population of TT are Indo and 36 % are Afro,why can't the political parties be represented in those percentages or close enough.

cool

How about political parties that are not race based?

Don't you think that would solve a lot of problems?

Your partition idea is not practical, the vast majority of the people would not want to be displace, on both sides.

And by the way, I corrected your spelling before and didn't make a big deal about it.
