CHECK THIS:
* We all know the PNC received 40.8% of the votes in 2011.
* Now! Let's make some assumptions. Let's assume the ethnic breakdown of the 342,236 voters in the 2011 elections was the following:
42% East Indians
32% Blacks
18% Mixed and others
8% Amerindians
PAY ATTENTION:
* Given the assumption above here is how the various ethnic groups voted for the PNC.
88% blacks voted for the PNC in 2011
60% Mixed voted for the PNC in 2011
14% Amerindians voted for the PNC in 2011
2% East Indians voted for the PNC in 2011
* Add all that up and you arrive at the PNC receiving 40.8% of the votes in 2011.
* What do you folks say ? Looks like the PNC will forever be a 40% party---they couldn't even pull 90% of the black votes.
