Beloved Citizens and Residents of The Great Republic of Trinidad and Tobago,greetings on this election day to you,your families,friends and acquaintances;
may you all prosper in health and grow some more in good conscience and wisdom now.
It is my first time here because I never knew this forum existed.
I found this forum yesterday.
My purpose here is this: I do hope to combine my efforts with your efforts and together we shall do all we possibly can to serve our country and move it forward so that we ,as a people,can be morally forced by good conscience to demand and bring out the best in ourselves and each other.If we fail to do so then what in the world are we doing here?
Yesterday I sent an EMAIL to the editor predicting the election results and I asked the editor not to publish the letter until after the elections because I did not want to taint the polls by my predictions.
I have correctly predicted every election in the USA and Trinidad and Tobago since President Carter was elected and the only one which I did not predict right was the 18-18 tie which means I was neither wrong no right ,but I have to admit ,that I could never have seen that result no matter how much I calculated and mined the data!
It is now well after 9:PM and the polls are closed and my prediction is ( as can be verified by the letter to the editor yesterday before elections) that the COP and the UNCA shall together win a minority under the PNM in Trinidad.The PNM shall win the Tobago seats.
The reason why is very simple: The young people who came out to vote did not vote for the COP and the UNCA because they could not identify with the candidates who seemed aloof and beyond them socially except for Gypsy,Dookeran,Bissessar and the Pandays.
The UNCA'S Jack Warner is not popular with young people because they do not really know him despite all he has done for soccer and the Soca Warriors but they could identify with Mr .Manning and company whether you accept it or not it is the facts jack!
The older swing voters do not like any of the parties for they have ," been there and done that and heard the same old clap-trap of promises and accusations and counter accusations at every election since King hatchet was a little hammer" in particular because they see all of them as corrupt and playing games at election time but they will vote for the PNM or not vote at all because they feel that the opposition does not have enough sense to unite against the PNM therefore they cannot offer the country the unity it needs so they will stick with what they know and not venture to wonder and chance
" what they will get!"
No change is better than unknown change.
That is their rationale not mine! Mr .Manning shall win and try to bring in outside help to handle the " WORST".
"WORST" refers to run-away crime,high food prices ,corruption and traffic congestion.
I am never wrong in my election predictions ( I say this with humility )so I do hope in the future you folks take me seriously!
What will they ( PNM ) do with their majority ? Will they invite the COP join the PNM in moving the country forward ? or the UNCA ?
That I cannot say but I will say this: Some kind of " Unity Government" is needed to stop the bitterness which follows every election and holds the country back.Mr .Manning may well see the wisdom of brining the best people for the job from the private sector or the opposition parties and so breaking the cycle of disunity and racial divide in this country and in so doing he shall go down in history as a great Statesman.
I will tell you this: whatever they decide it is my prayer that they form ( if Mr.manning and company can rise above the Party hacks and be a Statesmen and women by putting Trinidad and Tobago first) a government of "INCLUSION" and not a government of
" exclusion " or " omission" because both sides have folks who can make a great contribution to the great movement forward of our country to a world where oil shall not be "KING" for long !
Please,wake up to the reality of the bio-fuels and the Hydrogen and fuel cell cars scheduled to come into main stream production by 2010 and the price and importance of oil shall plummet back to $9.00 a barrel and the cost of food will soars as we attempt to face a brave new world of technology which is unfolding before us with dinosaur methods an attitudes; we need to have a government of unity which shall unite the people and the country with the government and move us forward into the 21St Century.We need to wake up because those with money will run to the USA and Canada and we the people shall be left behind as the country spirals downward towards becoming the new Haiti of the region.
Just look around you and ask ,How many folks are on the Internet ? How many folks have a computer? How many folks are understanding and using the new technologies except for the " GUNS" in the hands of murderers!
This may well be our last hope and gasp!
If we fail here to have a government of Unity and " inclusion" which cares for this country and its people we shall regress into chaos and be the new Haiti of the Region.
Thank you folks for reading this far and I do appreciate your guidance,corrections and opinions.
may you all prosper in health and grow some more in good conscience and wisdom now.
