This is red meat for the Chatrees.

Are we going back to the days of a thousand and one vice presidents? Even humongous America only have one and he hardly does anything.

How insensitive of you sahib
Would you like it if some Hindu tell yuh that's like salt poke in yuh cookup?

Nothing wrong with salt poke in meh cookup bai although I prefer sweet poke.

In the Guyana context of trying to unify the country, these political mechanisms are necessary first steps to build relationships.  Moses' statement above is inspiring.

What mechanisms?

Ksaz my comment was directed at Chief

In that case, I doubt the Chief would object to any kind of poke.

Ah hope when they wake he up from his "dream" to tell he he ain't Prime Minister and Fuss Vice President on May 12th 2015, he won't tek am too hard.

I doubt it would be right away. It took him about a dozen years to walk out on the PPP for not nominating him President.

Agreed!

I might be a little more inspired if Coolie political behavior was different than what it is. But it is'nt so I'm not.

The only question in my mind is the size of the PPP/C majority (51% plus what) in the next Parliament.

I would have preferred to see a Moses led united party but it's been done and we move forward. The PPP has to be defeated and this could still be a reality.

The PPP/C does have the ability to shoot themselves in the foot many times between now and election time. What Moses did up there is exactly what they have to do...bring a positive message to the people, leave the old baggage behind.

In terms of political activism/experence, Moses Nagamootoo is senior to David Granger.

Nagamootoo demonstrated statesmanship and grace in settling for the prime ministerial post.

It showed that he is not a "leader or nothing" person as the PPP wrongfully painted him.

It's reassuring to hear Moses say that the AFC will take charge of agriculture and give sugar workers and rice farmers a better life.

While I do admit that campaigns do matter. They only matter when you have some wares to sell. These wares cannot be sold to Indians so the only other alternative path to a non-PPP/C Government is an APNU Minority Presidency (a virtual impossibility in a two horse race) or an APNU Majority Presidency which would mean that APNU has to benefit from one of two scenarios.

First scenario is that APNU repeats it's Black constituency performance (26 seats) of 2011 (likely) and the AFC side bring in it's 2011 voters (7 seats) to Granger (unlikely). The second scenario is that APNU increases Black/Mixed turnout dramatically (possible but unlikely) and the AFC repeat some 2011 success within the Indo constituency (15k to 20k) (highly unlikely).

Both of the former two paths to an APNU-led victory is predicated on some unlikely scenario occurring. This is a racial election with racial dynamics. There is no point in pretending otherwise.

Bro did you not hear Nandalaal when he said Chatrees running things.

Hope the message resonates with Indians.

Actually, Nandlall said QC students running things. He meant that the most powerful people in the regime attended QC.

He made the chatree remark to show he is from a higher caste than Jagdeo.

Meaning he would never scratch his baltz in public but in private have no problem sticking his hands into the cookie jar.
