I did understand this seems to go against conventional wisdom but without a 54% Indian share of the total voting electorate (the people who actually vote), I cannot otherwise account for 30 of the PPP's 32 seats and 5 of the AFC's 7 seats.
The reality is that those who base the motivated electorate as being 40% Indian are making a huge mistake.
Stormy said that racial voting will ensure a PPP defeat, based on the 2012 census. Well it didn't in an election held a few months before this census. Because had Nagamootoo not cut into that PPP bloc the PPP would still have been the majority gov't.
I'm actually surprised that Stormy buys into this 40% misapprehension.
40% Indian voters cannot produce the overwhelming bulk of the PPP/C's 32 seats and the AFC's 7 seats out of a 65-seat Parliament. It just doesn't make any sense.
The AFC and the PPP/C in combination represent 60% of the 2011 electorate. How does one approach that number with 40% of being Indian (I assume no Indian voted PNC in any statistically significant rate). This would mean that the PPP/C and the AFC between each other captured 20% of an electorate that is definitely Black, Mixed, and/or Amerindian.
