The views expressed are solely those of the writer

51% of those who voted PPP didn't think that they were the best choice.

What has changed since then? Note that Ramotar is much less charismatic than Jagdeo, who was involved in the last election.

I would argue that BECAUSE the parties bicker and achieve nothing, more people will simply not vote. This will favor the PPP, because as the incumbent party they will be able to buy some votes, and offer soup to those willing to drink, and intimidate others to support them.

But I really don't see why people will be more enthusiastic about the PPP than they were a mere 2 years ago.
