What the rass Granguh sayin?

"Local Government Election (LGE) became the vehicle through which the process of democratic renewal began. It has moved the country from despair to a democratic regime in which leaders can now sit, discuss, argue and decide how our communities will be governed."

The above what he sayin,bhai.

Them bannas of the LG don't know how it works,some taking orders from Freedom House and Congress Place.

Djangy, nah worry wid LGE. Let's concentrate on the general(2020) elections. PNC will accept the LGE even if they lost some. I don't think they can and will accept a defeat in 2020 if they don't rig and frig the elections. What the F**K does he know about democracy? All he knows about democracy: rigging elections and unleash the dogs of violence, burn, loot, shoot to kill...

Come 2020 there will be 605,231 voters,the East Indian voters 220,930.

These numbers are taken from the 2012 Census,demise and migration was not factored in.

You think the East Indian party will cut the mustard ? Freedom House need to go back to the drawing board.Shouting rigging wont hold water.

noted Django

I didn't look at the source documents

I was pointing to likely inability of DG to differentiate between "voters" and "population"

To assume that the PPP cannot win the 2020 elections because East Indians make up less than half of the voting population, one has to conclude that the non-East Indian voting population will foolishly vote against their own stomachs.

Those voting against the PPP are voting their stomach. The PPP like the PNC are racist orgs that treat the state as a prize The PPP made no changes to the constitution to ensure that ethnicity will not be the determining factor because they believed that Indians will always be dominant numerically in the society.

Note this was an active project beginning in the early 20th century. The Luckoos et al sought to keep Indian indenture going for that same purpose. Indian . The secondary migration of indians in vast numbers in the latter part of the century was not anticipated.

While not numerically superior, African have the upper hand because most blended guyanese were also rejected by Indians. These shunned Guyanese now hold the swing vote and combined with Amerindians they definitely can be the power brokers in our racist society

Granger has some strange ideas about what is important and what constitutes progress . . . i've witnessed this 1st hand

that's what happens when you are surrounded with mostly 3rd raters

unfortunately, with the present constitutional arrangements, it would be downright dangerous to replace the coalition now with the cabal that up till 3 years ago effected some serious unmentionables on a hapless little country

THAT deeply malign PPP infrastructure is still very much in place . . . serious uprooting to be done

What I find strange and disgustingly so is the preoccupation of everyone here with ethnic numeric superiority of one side or the other. There is no discussion on policies on democracy and on general fairness. That these things can only come about with dramatic changes to our thinking is all but forgotten. This paradigm of political power by race is our disease.

I don't think the PPP had enough votes to overcome Burnham's 2/3 majority to significantly reform the Constitution. To their credit, they made small changes that were possible including the one limiting the President to just two terms. Secondly, from all indications all Guyanese have experienced emptier stomachs the past three years. At best, this government has been hapless.

Before the 2011 elections, I had hopes that the AFC would grow larger and stronger and be the police for the PPP and PNC as they seek to forge Constitutional reforms which would give them more influence than just being police for the PPP and PNC. Unfortunately, they rendered themselves irrelevant when they joined with APNU.

They had the authority to put rejection of it to a referendum. After all it was foisted on us by fraud. The Herdsmanston Accord was authoritative that Constitution reform must be formally put in motion after the 92 elections. It was to be completed by June 99. The PPP did not initiate anything until january 99 so whatever came about had only four months from deliberation to completion. That we are in the present crisis is completely the PPP's fault and no one else.

They believed they can do as they please and the willing indian sheep will always be a hedge because t hey campaign on the premise they were there to thwart the black barbarian hoards. To this day Indians still the shit that they alone are intellectual adept to govern. They forget that in their homeworld 90 percent of them were dalits and the caste system had them as an underclass for 6000 years because they were deemed stupid and unworthy.

I disagree . . . it is a sensible "preoccupation" . . . not strange at all, and not necessarily about "superiority"

In our democratic political set-up, numbers are dispositive . . . only political naifs would avert their eyes

and let me be even more frank

those numbers are part and parcel of a racial right-to-rule notion that has underpinned the hubris of significant post-Cheddi ethnic 'nationalist' thinking in the PPP, leading directly to a malign Bharrat Jagdeo

non-PPP opposition parties have always known that the kind of power politics (in a winner-take-all democracy) based solely on race is a loser for them . . . check the history

Burnham wanted all/absolute power, but the numbers were against him; this is why he rigged and became a dictator

perhaps a growing Amerindian population and serious constitutional change providing coalitions after elections as a major plank will crowd out the primitive environment and open up Guyana to the kind of politics you (and I) hope for

It is not fair to blame the PPP for not being able to fix a problem that Burnham essentially made impossible to fix especially when considering that Hoyte had no intention of cooperating with the governing party. Maybe they decided that they will focus on what they can do on their own as they did with limiting Presidents to two terms. Another thing that should not be overlooked is that the PPP did not extend any parliament beyond its 5 years life. Can't say the same for the PNC.

This is a discussion forum and should be free of the group think that dominates our political culture. I should be obvious to autonomous thinkers that the argument about our future as a success pivots on the axis of ethnic deconfliction. When I see positions forwarded by individuals that "they" cannot run a cake shop it  is not a statement of fact but a meem pregnant with racist vitrol wrought of calcified prejudices. It is the premise that rationalizes bigotry.

For the record, I voted for Obama twice and I am very happy that I did. If I think black people can't run a cake shop, I would have given my vote to the white dudes, especially the first one since at that time I was a registered Independent.

I spoke to some people in GT last night and they plausibly explained that this is part of an outreach/shoring up strategy by Granger

bear in mind that his relationship with Linden has always been rocky . . . remember his stumble with the electric subsidy imbroglio

the underserved Victory Valley residents had never before been visited by someone this important, and the people will feel nice with all the attention

is not really about the playground and the inane speech

grounding; raising morale . . . is not only PPP in campaign mode

I am glad you are sharing your experience Redux. You got bit here and your PNC paycheck stopped. You had to retool with a different alias so you can collect that paycheck. Granger was ready to put you on a moco-moco raft and throw you out in the Atlantic Ocean as shark bait. be careful.

The AFC is no more. Dem black members were always PNC, dey juss needed another vehicle to bypass the old staunch guard at Congress Place. As for Moses and Khemraj, those two Indoes are what Granger uses to site his government as inclusive.

Guyanese bettah be smart and put both the PPP and PNC to pasture.
