What about allowing for the fact that the Granger/Roopnarine ticket was more "presidential" than the Ranjattan/Trotman ticket.
From personal knowledge, Granger consults Roopnarine before any decision is made. Does Sam Hinds have similar influence with Ramotar?

An Indian on the platform is ok. However, for Afros and in fairness also for Indians, they see their interest in the APNU/PNC and PPP respectively. LFSB also consulted with Indians, so I'm not saying Afros and Indians don't work together, far from it. But when it comes to picking a political representative, it's a different story. Racisim is now part of Guyanese Psuedo-DNA.
The AFC is a good "control" as it does not have the type of institutional power of either the PNC or PPP and clearly you see the see-saw of ethinc voters based on the ethnicity of the prime candidate.

If the AFC spent no time in Afro areas and spent no time working region 3 and 4 how can you claim the people voted race? This makes no sense.
The fact is the APNU ran a damn good campaign while the AFC only focused in region 5 and 6.
The AFC is reaping the efforts of their work it is simple as that. There are also many other faux pas thatr the AFC made and they paid a heavy price for it.

We spend billions in LINDEN..
Granger preaced racism and convinced that the Indians, Ramoutar and Ramjattan will destroy the themselves. Granger said that they will come up the middle with 38% of the votes, he got 40. pray that the PNC don't get power because it would be the end of Indians living in Guyana. Each Indian household a a family member in North America. They are ready to accomodate them.

This was spent on Indo contractors who brought in Indos as workers and Lindeners got nothing out of it.
I told you long ago but as racist as you all are you dont seem to think that blacks dont wnat charity...they want access to OPPORTUNITY and a role in DECSION MAKING.

we could do all the postmortems but it all came down to security. Indians threw their weight behind the PPP to keep the PNC out of power while the Africans did the same for the APNU - to try to remove the PPP from power.
AFC got the support of the Indians who were disgusted with the way PPP was operating and were willing to take a chance to vote for them mindful of the fact that the APNU could gain power. Many of the disgusted stayed home in silent protest but would never vote for another party because of their loyalty to cheddi. There were also Africans who wanted to part ways with the old ways of the PNC and took the chance of voting for the AFC also mindful that the PPP could still remain in power.
It all came down to fear and insecurity. We must applaud the 35,000 + persons who rejected fear, faced their insecurities and voted to make a difference. They have created history and have forever changed the landscape of politics in Guyana.

I don't buy it. I think it is likely more true for overseas Guyanese, based on reading this board. Racism was a virus introduced by the British to bust the original PPP -- SOP for colonialism.quote:Originally posted by baseman:

caribj i have grown weary of "this tribal warfare" i believe we have a good chance at righting some of the wrongs committed on this nation if the constitution is changed and parliament works it a truly democratic manner.

Look at our voting and mutual hatreds that Indos and Afros clearly ahve for each other.
Either partition the country or let Venzuela. Suriname and Brazil fiight for its remnants. This 55 year old experiment of under ground tribal warfare isnt working.
