OK Folks:
Let's talk about the emotional investment of Guyanese people in the 3 major political parties in Guyana---the PPP, AFC, and PNC.
What does the Rev mean by emotional investment in a political party ?
Simple!
Guyanese who are emotionally invested in the PPP, for example, will give the party a pass and vote for them regardless of what---ditto the AFC and PNC---Guyanese emotionally invested in the PNC will vote PNC---same with the AFC.
BIG QUESTION:
What percentage of Guyanese people are emotionally invested in the PPP, the AFC and the PNC ?
This is the way the Rev sees it:
40.0%...PPP
35.0%...PNC
5.0%....AFC
40% + 35% + 5% = 80%
So 80% of Guyanese people are emotionally invested in the 3 major parties(40% PPP; 35% PNC; 5% AFC)---they will support their party no matter what.
That means 20% of the Guyanese are uncommited or independent---so how did this 20% vote in the 2011 election ?
Remember, the PPP received 48.6% of the votes; the PNC 40.8% and the AFC 10.3%
So if 40% of Guyanese people are emotionally invested in the PPP; 35% in the PNC and 5% in the AFC---here is how the 20% of independents voted in 2011:
8.6%...PPP(48.6 - 40.0)
5.8%...PNC(40.8 - 35.0)
5.3%...AFC(10.3 - 5.0)
The PPP received 8.6% of the independent votes; PNC 5.8%; AFC 5.3%
CONCLUSION:
You folks draw your own conclusion.
But it looks like the PPP will forever rule Guyana.
