Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!
You have forgotten the push through of legislations to suit their situation whenever they want to put their hand in the cookie jar, e.g. NHT
But I guess she can always say it is the JLP’s fault and the automatons will believe her.
Watching the PNP govern is like watching oil paint drying. Slow and painful. The rest of the world has got to believe the voting population of Jamaica are numbskulls.
The country has wasted the over 21yrs experimenting with the PNP leadership and today this is where it has taken us.
The sad thing about it is the masses largely poor will turn out and repeat the same mistake again.
That is a true sign of inadequate mental capability . One great scientist called it madness and madness it is .

When I heard one time on a television newscast a woman being interviewed said that she prefers PNP hungry. She couldn’t take the other party’s hungry. I said to myself that with this type of mindset no matter how the PNP mismanage the country they will somehow have a large segment of population supporting them.
From the reaction to the PNP compared with the JLP, it is very clear that people prefer to tolerate the PNP. For some psychological reason, people just could not stand Vaz, Montaque and that set.
This is not about logic or sense, it is about emotion. Then, the question is: why can’t the JLP connect emotionally with the people?
Of course, you may all call what I am saying rubbish, but let me ask you this: which party is now in power?
Ralston Hyman says the PNP Government sending more Jamaicans into Poverty.

I wonder if Hyman who was always seen as sympathetic to the PNP is now seeing the party for what it really is and changing his skin.
Hyman always calls a spade a spade
Mich, you are so right – the JLP is unable to connect emotionally with the people. Even with their own people and since Jamaicans do not use logic or sense when voting it makes it sad that the JLP don’t understand the emotional thing.
I would pay good money to produce a film or publish a book about an AU (alternative universe ) Jamaica. A Jamaica where a real leader who is for country not for party. A Jamaica where we can have hope and be really proud of and not just during the Olympics .The only way we can see this is through a work of fiction maybe it would motivate us to expect and demand better.
35. The country ran out of chicken back
Under Portia watch th media has been and Jamaicans continues to be dissed !
