WHERE is GRanga and his blasted social contract?

Is "winning" elections the only thing that matters? What about government? what about law? What about corruption?

For the PPP, winning the PLURALITY is all that matters and they would like 51 % but they know that is NOT possible at this time.

The PPP want to renew their mandate and if Ramu get less than 48%, then the plans will be put in place for ROHTEE to tek over.  

ROHTEE will be the PM Candidate - Sam going to Canada as Hambassador.

Nawbatt coming back as Minsita of LOCAL Govt.

you sound like someone totally ignorant of government and matters of public administration.

try reading a basic theory of government book then come back. Even Hobbes would be revolted by your ignorance.

I know the facts hurting you PNC type but you all are a bunch of loosers, you all throw away the majority and failed to use it.

The PPP doing what needs to be done to win new hearts and minds.

Look at Linden, the PPP going for a seat in Linden.  Is the PNC going for a seat in Albion?

Political Joker you are ask your name says.

Corruption is everywhere. Winning an Election means THE PEOPLE SUPPORTS what you are doing and want you to continue, right???

One can win an election and still be an illiberal democracy without proper institutions and practices of good government.

Conversely, one can rig an election and rule in the interests of the people.

Nehur bhai, I do not agree with you too much, but the people are saying of the three parties, the one most equipped to run the country is the PPP.

PPP on tap.  The people want the PPP, the PPP will get the PPP.

The extent of corruption in Europe is "breathtaking" and it costs the EU economy at least 120bn euros (£99bn) annually, the European Commission says.

EU Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem has presented a full report on the problem.

She said the true cost of corruption was "probably much higher" than 120bn.

Three-quarters of Europeans surveyed for the Commission study said that corruption was widespread, and more than half said the level had increased.

"The extent of the problem in Europe is breathtaking, although Sweden is among the countries with the least problems," Ms Malmstroem wrote in Sweden's Goeteborgs-Posten daily.

The cost to the EU economy is equivalent to the bloc's annual budget.

For the report the Commission studied corruption in all 28 EU member states. The Commission says it is the first time it has done such a survey.

Bribery widespread

In the UK only five people out of 1,115 - less than 1% - said they had been expected to pay a bribe. It was "the best result in all Europe", the report said.

But 64% of British respondents said they believed corruption to be widespread in the UK, while the EU average was 74% on that question.

In some countries there was a relatively high number reporting personal experience of bribery.

In Croatia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania and Greece, between 6% and 29% of respondents said they had been asked for a bribe, or had been expected to pay one, in the past 12 months.

There were also high levels of bribery in Poland (15%), Slovakia (14%) and Hungary (13%), where the most prevalent instances were in healthcare.

Ms Malmstroem said corruption was eroding trust in democracy and draining resources from the legal economy.

"The political commitment to really root out corruption seems to be missing," she complained.

National governments, rather than EU institutions, are chiefly responsible for fighting corruption in the EU.

But Ms Malmstroem said national governments and the European Parliament had asked the Commission to carry out the EU-wide study. The Commission drafts EU laws and enforces compliance with EU treaties.

The EU has an anti-fraud agency, Olaf, which focuses on fraud and corruption affecting the EU budget, but it has limited resources. In 2011

So I think the PPP should RIG the next election to have a 75% control.

If they feel they can use it to the benefit of the people, then so be it. Rigged elections is not alien to the PPPig party

We need more dynamic Leaders like you in this world. You are on the money.

You know who you're talking to right bai?

Satan incarnate

So the PPP is prepared to stretch the opposition finance by calling an election every year if necessary so the opposition has to choice but to support the budget.

Granja is weak and a political novice and failure.

Greendige would have done better.

only because the black people is a bunch of cowards,i do not know what the ARMY is waiting for,they have enough excuse to take over this country.the ARMY should take over,scarp the constitution and call a fresh election,the guyanese people deserve better than what they have at the moment.so your idea about election every year can back fired in your face

I wonder what the AFC is doing. Graneja was seen campaigning.

While those in opposition want power, the people of Guyana want to see a continuation of progress and a preservation of the freedoms they were once denied.

I Ramgobin the Billy, the people of Guyana are battle fatigue, so they just surrender.

The GDF drinking soup, the police teking bribe and the rest of the negros and poor East Indians just living a life of hopelessness.

PPP pun tap the Garbage dump.

Opening a new PPP hall is all that they have done in Linden since the last elections, aside from killing poor people that is.

So why do you think that they will do better in Linden?

The PPP must be given 90% for trying.  The have used a strategy of putting $5,000 in T shirts for the people during the 2011 campaign to entice them to vote PPP.

I agree with you, Linden will reject the PPP.

But the PPP still trying.  For effort they must be commended.  They are not ignoring afro-guyanese communities, they are going to all communities.

UNLIKE Granja who still got to go to Enmore.

The leadership of the military is well aware that if they participate in a coup then the USA will get Brazil to use its military to reverse the coup which will be easily done and they will either be killed or in prison for a very long time.

It is a new world that we now live in with only one superpower.  The opposition has to win power by the ballot box only.

There will never be a revolution in Guyana. The people are accustomed to entitlements. They too smart for that nonsense, their bread well buttered.

Remember, under Burnham, flour was banned, so no bread nor butter available. 

The people are accustomed to entitlements

TI you sound like Thatcher.  You should listen to London Bridge is Falling Down by the Mighty Sparrow.

why will the American get involve and also Brazil,maybe the American is hoping for a coup  

Corruption will strive under the PNC that is why we cannot allow them to rule again.

it is now confirmed, the PPP EXECUTIVE COMMITTE met on Tuesday and all the members voted to call General elections if APNU vote down the budget except 2 persons  - Komal Chand and Navin Chanderpaul.

All the other voted YES - Ramotar, Luncehon, Mustapha, Gail (the Cummings sex machine), Ali Baksh, Bheri, Irfaan, Rawbert the gold tief, Frank Tony, Clinton, Pauline, Killaman Lall.

JUG-DE-HOE was excused.

There u have it - elections in the air.

Donald then telephone Granja and told his the state of affairs and Granja peee his pants since he has no money for the elections and the Private Sector bossmen tell him, no money until anti-money launder bill pass.

Corruption is pandemic at this moment in time under the PPP. Where have you been if you did not notice it? Even if you add up all the unaccounted for money of the complete tenure of the PNC it still pales into insignificance compared to how much disappears on a yearly basis under the PPP.
