Yetming has said that the COP has 21 seats at the moment, can anyone on here tell me where these seats are exactly? If I was to look at the present list of candidates I can pick out candidates that will hold their seat both on the PNM and UNCA side, and I don't think anyone can dispute that both the UNCA and PNM have seats that they just will not lose no matter how anyone tries to dream about it.

So in the interest of understanding what Mr. Yetming is saying can anyone or any of the COP supporters say which seat or seats the COP have in the bag, who knows this knowledge may set persons thinking and encourage them to take a second look at this thing before election day, so COP say which ones would love to know

Realistically I can't see COP getting 21 in the 2007 election.

This is the last lap for spinning .
The COP , UNC and the PNM , they all spinning !

To be honest , this election is hard to predict .The only thing that remains constant is that PNM is going to get at least 30-35 % of the final votes .
The rest is up for grabs .
The "Undecided Voters " , if they show up may well decide this election .

CONGRESS of the People (COP) campaign manager Gerald Yetming last night claimed the party was set to win, at the very least, 21 seats in Monday’s General Election as he addressed a very lively rally in the Hi-Lo carpark in the marginal St Augustine constituency.

Speaking in the constituency held by COP leader Winston Dookeran, Yetming told the large gathering that Winston Dookeran would win St Augustine and “we have 20 other safe seats.”

JPersad, you also have to include the last lap for kidnapping and murder. Inside sources say alot of crimes nowadays are politically motivated with the intention of making the government look bad. Refer to the case where the Hindu Temple by the Sea was broken into and all the statues being desecrated. Yuh see when elections over next week, doh be surprise to see the crime rate go down for a while.....and if this is happening, then these inside sources will have some credibility to them.

Panday said they have 18 seats so far. I don't see them being that fortunate this rounds at all.

I have my doubts on 21 seats but it's close to the number I've been hearing from within the party recently as well before this story broke. I'm not sure how they got to that figure though but I'm trying to find out the reasoning behind it.

Well we have 5 more seats this elections but the UNC losing some of theirs, that's almost a guarantee now. I think Macco's prediction of 13 might be spot on.

Panday know this is his last dance. At least if he in power he could pull a lil ting like Patos and breaks from a jail but like that ent happening.

I hope RLM joining his legal team afterwards, he go need all the help he could get.

If at this point you cant tell you may as well forget it, what people have to decide is that given the fact that PNM is going to win this election if they are going to allow all this nonsense of I don't like this one or that one get in the way and ensure that PNM is a run a way train just like the dam rapid rail for the next 5 years.

People have to ensure that the PNM has a very viable opposition that will keep them in check, it makes no sense saying this and that election is Monday no one want to see full control of the house by the PNM, Cop unfortunately cannot swing this thing, one seat two seat nonsense is just not cutting it you will need 20 seats at least to keep Manning in check so the people has to decide what kind of life they want for the next 5 years.

If the COP could of held at least 6 seats great but its not looking so, UNCA will hold their seats against the PNM, I just hope voters will understand what can happen if the PNM gets full control of the house, and stop playing the fool at this point about who I like or don't like or who I prefer or not, no time for that nonsense now people its time to think.

One thread posted for sensible discussion and at every turn its nonsense. No on is knocking the COP great if they hold 5 seats that means with UNCA 13 the opposition will have 18 in the house.

All am asking is for big people to say where these seats are? To put is simpler, the COP has Dookeran, Gillian, Ganga, Manohar, Yetming and Faud ok this is what they have. Are these persons doing well enough now at this stage to hold these seats, Faud and Yetming are not running. All the supporters of the COP on here geez you guys have to have some idea as to what going on. Forget all the old talk now and say what you feel may happen.

That is all I am asking just to discuss this thing in a sensible manner why it is so hard eh. :roll:

I think Gillian Lucy, Rocky Garcia and Nicole Dyer have good chances of winning their seats. Gillian has a good following and the other two have plenty support in Diego. Whether it is enough to unseat the PNM is hard to tell, but the chances have increased significantly since the population of the area has changed drastically in the last few years. It is no longer a PNM safe seat.

Winston Dookeran has quite an uphill battle but has a shot at his seat. I have a feeling he will lose it, but he does stand a chance.

Anand Ramlogan's seat is hard to call. It can go either way, but he has a fair chance at his.

That is 5 seats if all goes well.

I have heard from insiders that Mervyn Assam has a strong following in his race against Manning. I personally doubt he will unseat Manning, but it will be most interesting if PNM wins but Manning gets ejected. Like the three Diego seats, Manning's is a no-win for UNC, but another party might have a chance.

I know many of you will attack these views, but remember it is just my view. I think the mistake many people are making is dividing the "opposition" vote in half and seeing if UNCA or COP has the better shot. What is not being considered is that there are several areas of the country whose constituents want the PNM out but are not willing to vote for the UNCA. As such, I think (and have seen for myself!) the COP is pulling a strong number who would either have voted PNM or abstained in the past. It is because of this that I think COP can surprise with taking home a couple seats, especially if the voter turnout is high.

Me? I think the PNM will win, but there will be enough between the UNCA and COP to keep them out of a special majority. I also think that there may be a chance that combined, UNCA and COP might have more than the PNM. In such a post-election situation, an accommodation might be worked out like in 1995 with the UNC and NAR.

Yuh know that same talk come up in a lime I was at two weeks ago? Bas done do half the work by sidelining Kamla, Jack is a johnny-come-lately, all the other potential leaders gone COP and RLM figure he could pull other financiers since all they money blue anyway. He could runaway with Bas party in short order based on timing.

If Anand take the man seat though then it might be a different story.

Macco,

COP will win ZERO seats. COP is prepared to wait for the next election to beat the PNM. The plan is after this election, BAS will ride out or lose support from the Grassroots. The UNC support will go automatically to the COP and Dooks will be the boss in 2012.
Very good plan, but the problem is that we have to take Manning and the PNM for a next 5 years.

Maccogirl
11-01-2007, 10:59 AM
Ah Thank you Sirius!!!

I don't think Rocky, Nicole or Joe has a chance in Diego, just too many factor with this one, yes they have support but not enough to battle the PNM unfortunately.

Dookeran does look shaky in his seat, Assam no way is he going to beat Manning, as for Gillian I know a lot of people like her but I am not sure if in this area she can pull it off I just could not understand the move by the COP to put her in S.Joseph but I guess they know the wisdom of that move.

I think Ramesh has the edge over Ramlogan, but I do hope that there is some viable opposition after Monday to avoid this special majority to me that is more important at this moment and should be on the minds of everyone because PNM has what they have and that is a fact, what people need to do is make sure that PNM keeps in check for the next 5 years.

Easy there Macco. I know it not easy to deal with but it is a reality and can be factored into many potential situations. Panday leaving the UNC leadership position, by any means, will leave a vacuum at the top which will probably result in another internal power struggle.

You know, at best I have to agree mostly with what Sirius predicted. At this time when the PNM seems unstoppable we should all review our priorities here but not forget our values.

If the PNM doesn't get their special majority then the first step is done. The COP can rebuild if they have people in Parliament and can show themselves to be a viable option to the PNM and UNC. If the UNC and PNM can shed their former images and get new leaders who aren't stuck in the old days like the current ones then they stand to weather the test of time. Well mostly the UNC, the PNM seems to go ahead no matter what.

Maccogirl
11-01-2007, 11:09 AM
CM honestly I really feel we need to discuss this so am not really interested in if Bas goes to jail or who leads an all the other nonsense, as I said this is serious business for everyone living here, if we don't gt a strong opposition Manning is going to become President with full powers there is no two ways about this.

So its up to you people if you want to keep harping on nonsense or wake up and face the facts as to what will happen and dream of the coming future if ever the COP gets this great chance to change everything, all well and good if the COP can change how things are done but at the moment we have an election and if we cant put a strong opposition in the house all these fancy dreams will be just that dreams and nothing more.

Anyway COP knows they cannot win, but will prefer a PNM win in order to take over the UNC supporters in the next 5 years. This together with COP's base will make them almost a force like the NAR of 1986 allowing them to blow the PNM away.
If UNC wins, the COP will disintegrate but a UNC win is highly unlikely ---- maybe 15(maximum) seats for BAS and JACK

2.Which party do you think will best address the issues of your community ?

MK while that may be totally possible I see it as highly improbable. It requires a lot of ifs to become reality and for a sequence of events to either remain the same or change in the COP's favor when it comes to the other two political parties.

For example, if the leadership of the UNC changes to someone that the people could get behind then they already have a base, albeit eroded at this point, they can build from. The COPs best chance at that point would be to form an alliance or accommodation of some sort and battle the PNM at the ground level. It's not impossible for some of the newcomers in the PNM to want to cross the floor later ondue to differences with Manning's style of leadership but you can't count on that.

Looks like 5 years again, but if it has to be that way lets make them earn every step.

Agreed,

We could only acheive a post election accomodation if both opposition parties get seats, and not just votes, as Tony Fraser mentioned in yesterday's Guardian, in1981 the ONR got 90,000 votes but not one seat, while the ULF got around 60,000 votes with 8 seats.

I predicted this much actually. From the time word came out that they were short on cash, I suspected that they would cut back and then rip open their treasury in the last week for a blitz. You have to admit; it's an interesting strategy and well suited to a party with limited finances. While everyone else's campaigns have been ongoing and people getting tired of hearing the same old thing, COP's advertising would be new and fresh in their minds when they go to the polls.

Cm I would expect better from you I have never said anything of the sort my talk has always been that PNM is winning this election, why all yuh COP people does lie just so.

Looks like the COP really having problem with numbers first its 21 now its 41, and for a party that broke I do find all of a sudden all yuh spending some real money in ads, going on tv every night with your meetings with re runs on every station, bigger music trucks, more posters, and coverage on many radio stations, like all yuh cake sales going good now :D :D :D

I predicted this much actually. From the time word came out that they were short on cash, I suspected that they would cut back and then rip open their treasury in the last week for a blitz. You have to admit; it's an interesting strategy and well suited to a party with limited finances. While everyone else's campaigns have been ongoing and people getting tired of hearing the same old thing, COP's advertising would be new and fresh in their minds when they go to the polls.
I think it was deliberate .
I think it was a good idea .Whether or not it works , will be seen on Monday night .

They had to do it....no choice really.

But they have lost all of their momentum and are now as off message as the UNCA which has decided to get into a battle with the SDMS!

The "bandwagon effect" has been gained by the PNM as the NACTA and ANSA/UWI polls both agree that 60% of the respondents are of the opinion that the PNM will win.

The psychological effect of this adds anywhere from 5-10% voter boost as people want to be identified with a winner.

Kudos to the PNM for running a very efficient and well organized campaign over the last 3 1/2 weeks.

I wrote a month ago that would win 25-26.....and it certainly looks that way.

I absolutely agree with 23....they can get to 26 if they win Chaguanas East, Pointe-a-Pierre and Princes Town South/Tableland.

Of the 3 they are leading by 3-5% in Pointe-a-Pierre and Chaguanas East. The closest is Princes Town South/Tableland.

Personally I would like for Christine Kangaloo to get in because she really is quite dynamic.....possible PM someday!
