If you want change and a better country, make sure your vote works hardest for you, your family and your country when you go and vote on Monday.
For months now the people of Trinidad and Tobago have been crying out for change. And for the past few weeks they have been looking at which out of the UNC/Alliance and COP had the best chance of beating Patrick Manning and his PNM.
Well now we have the answer, because it has been confirmed that COP cannot win – all the evidence is now pointing to a 2 horse race between UNCA and the PNM. COP will not win a single seat, but as things stand they are likely to get sufficient votes to prevent the UNCA from winning and thus allow the PNM to win again.
The latest findings of NACTA’s ongoing opinion tracking poll show the general election is turning out to be a battle between the ruling PNM and opposition UNCA
for control of the government. Their series of polls has shown steady movement away from COP and people saying that they were still undecided towards the UNC/Alliance. It is expected that the next release of poll findings at the weekend will show an even bigger movement to the UNCA.
NACTA is not affiliated with any political party and has developed a reputation of
accurately predicting the outcome of all the elections in Trinidad and Tobago since 1995.
Currently, as of 30th October, the prediction is 16 seats for the PNM, 15 seats for UNCA, nothing for COP, with 10 seats still too close to call.
According to the poll COP is losing support over its ‘going it alone’ approach which has upset its followers who are migrating towards the UNC. Many COP supporters are repatriating back to the UNCA because they feel the COP has betrayed them by opposing unity with UNCA to defeat the PNM. Undecided voters are also breaking for the UNCA because they feel that party has a better chance than COP of unseating the PNM.
The results of the poll suggest that if the remaining COP supporters were to return to the UNCA, the party would create the biggest upset in the history of Trinidad and Tobago elections.
So it is clear now that voting for COP will split the anti-government vote and let PNM win again.
The big question now is whether enough COP supporters realise this before it is too late and do the right thing for the country by switching their vote to the UNC/Alliance for this election.
It’s now close to make-your-mind-up time. The election is tightening but COP voters still hold the outcome in their hands. Many have already switched their support to the People’s Party. Join them, because there is a very real choice to be made now for the future of our country.
That choice is either to vote COP, thus splitting the opposition vote, and therefore getting PNM again, with all the misery for our country and citizens that would entail.
Or, for this election only, vote UNCA and deliver the change of government the country is crying out for.
So now it’s up to you.
And please, tell others. Forward this email on to everyone you know in Trinidad and Tobago. Ask them to do the right thing for our country by joining together. Tell them it’s for the sake of our country. There’s a momentum building. Get on board and join the winning party now.
You know that you would never forgive yourself if COP voters allowed the PNM to win again – maybe even by just one seat, 21-20. So, for the good of the country, vote UNC/Alliance on Monday.
Because Trinidad and Tobago deserves better.
I see that the UNCA is trying a last-ditch attempt at winning this election. Do you all think that this will work? I think that it could but it may be a little too late. Some people who are really fed up with the PNM may try to go UNC thinking that the COP will not win so why vote for them. I think COP supporters are floaters
