I don't trust people who talk about national government.  They are either dreamers or scammers.  No replacement for democracy.  Count the damn votes and declare the winner. Tired of all the tricks and scams going on.

Our dearly beloved Guyana, land of tricksters and scammers. Isn't that why so many fled to distant shores?

Bibi who claims to be an expert on Guyanese politics, with connections to the top people in many parties doesn't know about the electoral system that kept the PPP in power in colonial days.  It was nice of Ramakant to tell her a bit about it.  Cheddi agreed to a proportional representation (PR)system that took effect in 1964 and led to the coalition government of the PNC and UF.  Much has been written about Cheddi's approval of the PR system that is not used in the UK, USA or Canada but is in many other parts of the world in one form or the other.  Cheddi was a consummate democrat and those who knew him fully understand why he agreed to the new system.  It is a more democratic system as it preserves the principle of one person, one vote.  In a PR system Trump would not be president and Trudeau would not currently be Prime Minister.  In the US, Hillary Clinton got more votes than Trump and, in Canada, Andrew Scheer got more votes than Trudeau.

The more they look at Mingo and company the more they get disgusted and never want to be part of that Schi again. Goodbye Guyana. See you in ten years.
