He can't take any significant amount of votes from the PPP. People want the PPP back in power. Why would they throw their votes behind a candidate with a zero chance of winning while ensuring a victory for the very people Charrandas helped to boot out of office? Does not make much sense.
Billy, some Berbicians might want to PPP back in power. But what was done by regional officials during the last government has angered many by having hasty names for the officials. Forcing the PPP to make changes. These officials would suddenly change meeting locations, because they did not want to hear from the people.
Crimes still exist, but compared to the present government, why were there so many Indian protests during the PPP government, at police stations in Berbice due to police inaction, when a protestor was shot to death at Albion police station.
Both governments did not do much for Berbicians, but the people voted for the PPP, who also ignore them. If the PPP wins the next election, will they allow their friends at the Berbice bridge to increase the toll to US$40.00. If this happens the PPP might not have another term. With so much unemployment, how will Berbicians pay US$40.00 to cross the bridge ?

Bhai Kaz,
Charrandass is a recent hero and from Berbice, the party will take away votes from the PPP. Them bhais in freedom house will be sweating, if his party is declared.
Crawford would also be a great pick .
"I am not at liberty to identify a woman in Berbice that will form the party with Charran but she is certain to bring in votes."

People sometimes become complacent. They forget how bad things were before 1992. Or they fell prey to the fancy manifesto that was filled with empty promises. Now that they have had 3 years to refresh their memories of how terrible the PNC was and still is as a government, they will not be fooled so easily again. The last two LGE have given some indication of that.

You see those guys in that condition and you wonder how they can go through a whole day with that kind of condition. I do admire them. My brothers and father were cane cutters. My mother worked in the cane fields as a weeder.

Skelly, but much of their efforts make us what we are.
I can see women carrying big baskets of mangoes on their heads to the market on muddy streets and falling down. Only to pick it up, wash it and continue, with water dripping all over them.
Sometimes when my brother was cutting cane nearby, I would take his lunch and was fascinated by the bare feet of women and men carrying cane to the punts among the cane stumps.
Years later when I returned to Guyana and visited a cane field, I shot about 100 images of just the cane cutters bare feet, walking in the field and on the planks to the punt.

And I always said I will not stop defending the sugar workers.
Bai there was a joke going around that the feet of the cane cutters were so tough that they would stump their toes on the roots of the cane and that would completely uproot stumps.

This makes sense, because Skeldon estate had a machine to pick up the cane and put it in punts. One of the BBP youth lost his job at Skeldon operating this machine, due to downsizing.

This was after I left Guyana. My brothers and father "cut and load". I know cane cutting as the cut and load gang. They worked in Gang 8A.

It is heavier than the regular 22. Some cane cutters like it; some don't. They complain it's too short and they have to bend more.
Errol is weighing all angles, the people of Berbice appreciates what he has done, the same cannot be said of Rumjaat and Naga. What the AFC has done to join house with the PNC and now that Errol exposed them as YES people to the PNC, they have lost their supporters/ voters. Errol will not start a new political party, if he gets back in politics, he will join the PPP where he has huge profits to gain, he is in his mid sixties he need to piggy back on a winner.
Yes, for the moment Errol is a hero in Berbice but more so to the PPP supporters, before the vote he was a traitor, He is the one that suggested to lock up the parents if the kids don't attend school, he is the one said the laid off sugar workers can be retrained. he is the one that insulted a female doctor about her big size. The Berbicians think when Errol said YES , he crossed the floor and joined the PPP, that's why they like him, if he strays elsewhere he will be on the same page as Rumjaat and Naga.
