Parliament looks like a Dharam Shaala with all dem old peeps. Dem can hardly stay awake and pay attention.

Will David and Moses in their old age run again in 2020?

If I was a betting gal, I would say Harmon and Cathy running in 2020.

Maybe Nigel. What about PPP? You think BJ will run? Priya maybe? 

Nigel will stay behind the scenes and let Cathy run his show.  He is making a ton of money as a private attorney.  No BJ.  I think the PPP should start putting Priya on the front burner.  She is one of the strongest people in there.  People have not seen what she is made of as yet.  She has the goods!!

Ashni or Bayney might be good too

What about Alexi?

This is where you and I will fight. Definitely not Priya Manickchand. 

Now, look at what I am putting in black and white here. It comes straight from my brain. The best possible PPP presidential candidate for 2020 will be Anil Nandlall. BJ and the PPP Old Guard know that Nandlall is brighter and smarter than all of them combined, hands down.

I am told some of the PPP veterans see him as a threat and that is why he made no headway in the Central Committee. But they can't keep a good man down forever. One fine day their eyes will open and they will see the light in the form of that Chatree. 

i did not like what he told Gildarie on the phone about Glen Lall but I have already forgiven him and written it off as an emotional indiscretion.

No fighting here.  I am in complete agreement with you.  Anil is not only the brightest man in the PPP.  He is probably the brightest man in the country right now.  And his wife is equally bright and is standing by her man 110%.  They both went to QC and have law degrees.  And nuff Rahaman money is there for funding should they ever need it!!!!

I agree with Gilly and Bibi that Anil Nandalall is the best and the brightest the PPP has left in that Party. He is young and he is a fighter and can win the General Elections in 2020 for his party. Question to you Gilly, would you switch from your current allegiance and publicly support Anil if he becomes the new PPP leader?

Maybe that's why the PNC boys trying had to tarnish his name!!  I hope he does become the candidate, more interesting will be his running mate!!

Bibi, you seem well "clued-in", any ideas?

Hmmmmm.  I was hoping Africo Selman but she did not wow me at the last budget debates and seems a little weak.  She still has time to learn though. BJ gat them on operation boot camp.  The best man or woman shall win!!

I think Dr Vindhya Persaud will make a good running mate, on the basis of eligibility and competence. But the PPP might want some cosmetic arrangement to show it's multiracial, as it did with Liz Harper. You know, an Uncle Tom or Devany.

Hey Gilbakka, none of us really knows when our number comes up.  If indeed our personas here is an extension of our real selves, you are one heck of a real gentleman. You raise the bar here on GNI and I am certain in all aspects of your life. Members here are fortunate to have a gentleman of your caliber posting.

I mean, what does your tight fitting yellow and pink suit says about you?

I am a non violent person.  Even your nephew would look great in that., but then it a question of affordability.

And I know you like that QC boy Bayney Karan and his QC beauty wife Donna Seepersaud-Karan.

These would be some powerful first ladies!!)

CAUTION: Since the 1970s the government changed the law to say that no Guyanese child born out of wedlock is illegitimate. Remember this: Gail Teixeira gave birth to two daughters while Fazel Khan was still legally married to his first wife Claudette. Those two girls were/are not illegitimate.

My best wishes to the Roopnarine family on the arrival of their latest offspring.

So why do they label a child born out of wedlock(father not stated on the birth certificate) a "bastard child".

Excellent point!

I thought the law was passed in 1983 or thereabouts. There was a wave of such legislation in the commonwealth at about that time. And it was most needed and welcomed.  Stigma was removed from a lot of kids. I recall a couple of my classmates having their surnames changed after the law was passed. 

A child is considered to be illegitimate if the parents are not married to each other at the time of the child's birth!!!

And why did they cross the border for the child to be born in Brazil??  Rupert and his bunch are strange people!

This here is sounding more like a beauty contest more so than Braun

Thanks for zooming into the timeframe. I remember that the discussions had begun in the 1970s but I couldn't recall the exact year the law was passed. I'm making a note to check it out later. The Laws of Guyana are available online.
