How I will vote, Who I will vote for and Why I would vote for the party

Election Map 2020


I am not a diehard supporter of any political party. What I am is a diehard supporter of progressive ideology, but Progressive ideology does not exist in Jamaica today. As such, the party that gets my vote is based on a formula that only takes into consideration certain social and economic indicators. These indicators were investigated and evaluated by me. +3 points will be awarded for any indicator that improved. -3 points will be deducted from any indicator that declined and +1 point awarded for any indicator that stayed the same. I was thinking of weighted points (+-4) for indicators I consider more important, like crime, employment and environment but decided to stick with the original formula.




The use of a formula frees me from partisan feelings and emotions. Liking the person or party is no longer relevant and only the performance of the social and economic indicators matter, kind of like the DOW. I can cuss out that person or the party they belong to because of an incident and still end up voting for that party because the formula said so. I might dislike a weasel like tourism minister for example, but tourism numbers are up, even though tourism is raping the hell out of the environment. So, tourism gets 3 points and for declaring war on the environment, the party loses 3 points. These greedy Assholes are bulldozing and concreting the entire island. 

At the end of the list, I total the points and calculate the percentage of positives versus negatives. If positive outweighs negative and total points are positive then I vote for the government, if not then I vote for the opposition. It is that simple, no emotions, no family tradition and peer pressure, just simple statistical facts. I am too tired, too old, too miserable and been at this for too long to support any party like a minion. So this Hamster, is getting off the party Hamster Wheel. Especially when both parties are not governing by the right progressive ideology but by feel good populism.

Jamaican General Election, 2025

How it stands now, at this moment in time, the Jamaica Labour Party will get my vote in any General Election because the formula says so.  With regards to the local Government election, if I am around the PNP gets my vote, a dead fus before the JLP get my vote in that election. The JLP must be punish for not calling that election when it should have been called, their actions goes against my principles. I am not a diehard voter, I am a proud and pure swing voter.

Techniques for Sharing your Sky Juice at School

Image
There are lots of things going on in this picture, that brings back so many memories of primary and high school in Jamaica. Here you have the sharer, the owner of the sky juice generously sharing his drink with the Sharee, aka the beggar-drinker. The Sharee the one the sky juice is being shared with, is not allowed to touch the sky juice in anyway. In fact, his hands should be by his side and if that was me, I would stop sharing my sky juice until he follows the rules by lowering his right arm and keep it by his side. I had my Sky Juice grabbed by my friend and he drank the lot before I could get it from it. After which everyone laughed their heads off at my expense.  Notice the intense look on the face of the owner of the sky juice, the sharer, while he monitors the drinkers suction and content extraction abilities. Also notice how the owner of the sky juice is holding on to both the bag and straw at the same time, it is called the valve technique. If at any time the beggar-drinker

The British Cornish Pasty vs. The Jamaican Beef Patty

Image
I love my Jamaican Beef Patty and I do love the English Cornish Pasty. I am not sure which one came first or if they are even related but the concepts are the same. Take a delicious baked crust and fill it with tasty meaty goodness. In the case of a Cornish Pasty that tasty goodness is chunks of Genuine beef cooked with potatoes and swedes (turnips) and for an Authentic Jamaican Beef Patty,  the finest Genuine Jamaican beef. Maybe the English Cornish Pasty is related more to the Jamaican Meat Loaf than the Jamaican Beef Patty. What does a Cornish Pasty and a Jamaican Beef Patty Have in common? The British Government decided to impose a 20% VAT (Value Added Tax) on hot Cornish pasties. This resulted in a nation wide protest lead by the people of Cornwall against the proposed tax. Even people living in Calumet, Michigan, USA gathered a petition of 500 signatures to show their support. In the end the government was forced to reverse its plans to impose VAT on Cornish pasti

Heroes and Nation Builders of Jamaica

"He bared his chest and declared…If you are going to shoot, shoot me, but leave these defenceless, hungry people alone." ….Alexander Bustamante I once saw a play in the 80's at the little theater where the above was said by one of the actors and another actor shouted in response…..”A should a now!!” …to the laughter of the audience… His implication was that today's police would have obliged Alexander Bustamante and open fire killing him and everyone dead. I however think that if it was now there would be no one to play the role of Bustamante because that is not how our current so called leaders roll, we would simply be on our own. Market Woman early 1900 For me, the best part of Jamaican history is the period from 1900 to 1962. I call this period the Golden Age of the Nation Building. The fight against hard life and suffering experienced at the hands of British Colonialism. A time when the working class, Educated Class, middle and upper middle class came to
