I understand your pun but Portmore will be the 15th pariah of Jamaica.

We once had 22 parishes . Can't see the need for chopping off part of St.Catherine to make a parish which portion
is in essence a dormitory city when concepted. Should be interesting to see the borders too.
Well Vere was a parish before added to Clarendon. What constitutes a Parish though, in these politician's minds ?
Is it to give more employment to high salary politicians ? Or is it because it has a Toll road through the heart of it ?
If it be a matter of population, upper St. Andrew from Constant Spring to the hills would certainly qualify too.

I can see your argument but there is a high concentration of the population into certain areas of Jamaica and Portmore is one such location. Also Montego Bay aka Mobay and surrounding environments have more population than many parishes, especially when you ask some persons living in rural St. James and from bordering areas of parishes like from Trelawny to Hanover and parts of Westmoreland, they all claim to be from Greater Mobay Area. big grin big grin
