I am a Proud Swing Voter, A Flip Flapper Supreme:

We are NOT Slaves Chained to the Political Party Plantation, that is not how true democracy and the political process is supposed to work. We should always be open and objective, while using critical thinking, morals, values, and principles to evaluate those we support and align ourselves with people who share our values, principles and ambition! Flip Flopping, Swing Voting and switching allegiance is NOT a Weakness but a Strength. Bold nation building moves!  Members of the Political Class should work to gain our support which should come at the highest price, The Building of a Nation and the betterment of her people! We do NOT serve the Party or the Government. They Serve us, the people!    People who are diehard and diehearted party supporters already know who they are going to vote for because logics and facts mean nothing to these people, they are not a factor.  Diehard and Dieheart party supporters do not have the burden of deciding which party at...

Hypocrisy and Hypocrites

PRIME Minister Andrew Holness yesterday called for cooperation between the Government and the Opposition in dealing with crime. It would be easy for me to ask the question, why you did not offer this cooperation while in opposition and why you used crime as a political football during the election campaign. BUT as a nation we must at some point move crime out of the political arena and view it as a threat to national security that requires all hands on deck. NO party should be boasting that it alone can solve crime because that is a false statement to make as no political party alone can solve Jamaica's crime problem. I go even further to say that the Political class alone cannot solve crime and that all good people must stand together and fight this scourge on the land. Political parties must realize that a lot of the people they call political activist are in fact criminals and they must distance themselves from these people and bring them to justice. When you were in op...

The Question of Stable Leadership: 1980 to 2007

During a recent online debate, a certain muppet began to blame the Jamaican people for the Peoples’s National Party being in power for 18 years between 1989 and 2007. I find it completely unfair to blame the Jamaican people for the PNP being in power for 18 years because it was not the people of Jamaica that was at fault but the Jamaica Labour Party, who did not present themselves as a viable option and who I believe should return the opposition salary they received after 16 years of being the worst opposition on the face of this planet as it was not until after the question of leadership for that party was settled that they began to focused their attention on the Jamaican people and do the job they were paid to do. In November of 2004 Edwards Seaga announced that he was stepping down from representational politics and by mid-January of 2005 his announcement came to past. The Jamaica Labour Party had not won any of the 4 elections between 1989 and 2007 and if one was to research th...
