=============
On second thoughts you will have a major cardiac event when you see how PPP support is declining since 1997. So in 1997 the PPP got 221k, 2001, 209k, 2006, 182k, and 2011 they won 165k.
Now how you can scream that the PPP isnt in decline beats me.
Carib:
There is no question that in every election since 1997 the PPP has seen a decline in the total number of votes it has received.
BUT LET'S LOOK AT THE PNC SINCE 1997.
1997: 161K
2001: 165K
2006: 114K
2011: 139K
QUESTION:
Hasn't the PNC also seen a decline in the total number of votes it has received ?
Of course, in 2001, the PNC received 4K more votes than it did in 1997. And let's say the 114K votes in 2006 was an anomaly. But check out the 2011 votes---it was 139K.
FACT:
Both the 2 major parties have seen declines in the total number of votes they have received since 1997.
================
Listen carib. It is senseless to look at just the overall number of votes each party has gotten in each election.
IT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF THE OVERALL VOTES EACH PARTY RECEIVES THAT MATTERS.
* We know the PNC is a 40% party---the highest percentage of the votes they have ever received in a free and fair election was 42.3% in 1992.
BUT LET'S RETURN TO THE % THE PPP HAS GOTTEN SINCE 1992
53.5%---PPP in 1992
55.3%---PPP in 1997
53.0%---PPP in 2001
54.6%---PPP in 2006
48.6%---PPP in 2011
OBSERVATION:
* The % the PPP received went up from 1992 from 1997--53.5 to 55.3%
* The % the PPP received went down from 1997 to 2001
* The % the PPP received went up from 2001 to 2006
* The % the PPP received went down from 2006 to 2011
QUESTION:
You notice a trend their carib bai ?
Went up---went down---went up---went down
Do you care to guess what's next ?
What follows went down ?
That's right! Went up.hahaha
The % the PPP received in the next election will be higher than the 48.6% it received in 2011---99.99% chance it will be 50+%
Rev
PS. Don't argue numbers with the Rev again.hahahaha
cain: Keep up with the numbers Rev..
There is a 99.99% probability the PPP will get 50+% of the votes in the next election and regain the majority.
