how did the APNU and AFC combined win more votes in 2011 and in 2015 than did the PPP. They grabbed more of the 20% swing vote than did the PPP.
As to the LGE, can you explain why the PPP only won 24% of the vote in GT and even less in Linden and you still think that they made inroads into the Afro vote?
BOTH groups stayed home. The Indos in Indo areas turned out at a 35% rate and the Afros in the Afro areas turned out at 25%. Do you understand the notion that in the LGE no one in GT was voting for a representative from Berbice? Do you understand that in GT they therefore didn't give a damn about the prospects of a PPP win.
Understand something. Very few people in Guyana vote PPP or PNC because they like them. Some vote PPP because the PNC terrifies them. Some vote PNC because the PPP terrified them.
So in GT where the prospects of a PPP mayor and city council was ZERO those who live in terror of the PPP did NOT feel compelled to vote. Many of those in GT who stayed away in the last two LGEs will definitely turn out in a national election. They will not vote PNC. They will vote AGAINST the PPP. Can you understand this or is it too much Indo Supremacist thoughts have eroded your brain cells?
