Don't you think Jagdeo should say sorry to Ramjatan for lying on him when he told Janet that Prak, :
Mitwah the AFC is a baby party. Potentially on the brink of joining the WPA and the UF.
No one outside of it thinks they have a snowball in Stabroek Markets chance of winning. Indeed many think they will do worse as the anti Corbin vote goes back to Granger or decides not to bother to vote. The fact that Trotman is not in leadership bothers others who note how poorly Ramjattan performed last time. And who view Holder as anemic and likely to perform even worse than Ramjattan
The AFC is seen as appealing only to the middle class. You know full well how small this group is. Many of these folks are happy with Granger as he is one of them. Corbin is viewed by them as rabble and a Hamilton Green hold over. So they bolted last time.
Others have been snared by Jagdeo's offer of big bowls of soup. I heard one bragging about how much $$$ he will make with some Jagdeo project aimed at pretending that the PPP likes blacks.
Yet others, fearful of the wrath of the PPP if suspected of not voting for them, will go PPP unless either the AFC or the PNC will prove to them that they will win. Given that no one outside of those two parties believes so than some fear driven folks might vote PPP...or not vote...does anyone really think that ballots in small Caribbean nations are secret?
I should think this should engage your attention more than ANOTHER Jagdeo buse down.
While dissatisfaction with the PNC and the PPP is clearly evident this doesnt mean that the AFC has these votes, as many of the same folks dismiss the AFC as irrelevant.
After the elections this topic might have relevance. Not now. The AFC has less than 2 montsh to prove that its a Big Boy now. Up there with the PPP and APNU.
