If you take the 221K PPP/C votes in 1997 and subtract from it, the 166K votes in 2011 you get.............(drum roll).......55K.

 

 

Who is CaribJ's relative again? Aunty Comsee......

DG there is very little difference in who votes.  The fact remains that the PPP lost 55,000 votes in 2011 vs 1997.  This means that more of their traditional supporters either left the country, voted for other parties, or just didnt vote.  We also see a pattern.  If the PPP got fewer votes in 2001 than they got in 1997, fewer in 2007 than in 2001, and fewer in 2011 than in 2007 then it is clear that there is a trend.

 

THE PPP IS LOSING SUPPORT!!!!

The fact indeed remains that less people were recorded in the voting processes.

And notwsithstanding fewer voters APNUrecorded more votes in 2011 as did the AFC vs their 2006 performance.

 

The decline in voter turn out also shows that many Guyanese are not impressed with ANY of their alternatives available and chose not to vote.

APNU = PNC plus about 8 other political entities.

 

The combined group - now known as APNU - always had more votes than the PNC.

Do you really think that these entities, even the WPA, have any real control over what the PNC does or doesnt do.  APNU merely recaptured its usual votes that they lost to the AFC in 2006, and were more successful in getting their base out to vote.

 

Note that given that get out to vote activities by APNU were almost non existent this higher turn out by its base was 100% due to their dissatisfaction with what they see as a racist PPP which they see as determined to punish black people.

 

Prove to yourself that APNU got votes in significant numbers that the PNC didnt get.  The only region where that might be true is in Regioon 9, and that wa sbecause of infighting within the UF which led some of its leadership to endorse APNU, and others to endorse the AFC.  AFC won in Region 8 for that reason.

 

Dementia Guy if EVERY election has eeen the PPP lose votes its is perfectly reasonable to suggest that the PPP is losing its base. 

 

For the PNC there is less of a trend.  They got MORE votes in 2001 than in 1997, and lost many in 2006, and saw an increase in 2011, though lower numbers than in either 2001 or 1997.

 

In the case of the PPP the trend is one way.  DOWN!!!
