Save Guyana: History summons its leaders to higher purpose
| Save Guyana: History summons its leaders to higher purpose | |||

by Sir Ronald Sanders
November 28 general elections in Guyana have resulted in a crisis for the country. While it is being suggested that the elected President, Donald Ramotar, of the Peoples Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) can appoint and run a minority government, it is an unrealistic proposition.
Ramotar was elected president by a plurality of the votes but the PPP/C failed to get an overall majority in the National Assembly. The complex Guyana constitution provides for an electoral system of proportional representation under which the country is divided into 10 regions returning 25 members of the National Assembly and another 40 being allocated nationally on the proportion of votes cast for a party. To control the National Assembly, a party must secure more than 50% of the votes cast. However, the president in whom executive authority lies, according to the constitution, only requires a plurality of the votes to be elected. Continue reading |

Security forces will be “fully mobilised” to quell unrest – Luncheon
Security forces will be “fully mobilised” to quell unrest – Luncheon
November 17, 2010 – Demerara Waves
The government says the security forces will be fully mobilised to quell any public disturbance during and after the November 28 general and regional elections.
This is according to chief spokesman Dr. Roger Luncheon who was addressing reporters on Wednesday just hours before a newly-purchased water cannon was handed over to the Guyana Police Force.
According to him, the Cabinet is continuing its surveillance of the open and sometimes subtle incitement to civil unrest and public disorder “by members, supporters, apologists of opposition political parties.” Read more

CRAPAUD FOR PRESIDENT – By Mark McWatt
CRAPAUD FOR PRESIDENT
By Mark McWatt
I is the best politician, y’all must vote for me
I ent come with no baggage, so don’t hesitate
—no businessman friends, no damn law degree,
nor tainted by any former leader’s mistake:
what you getting is just what you see,
the baddest, ugliest bull-frog that God ever make.

INDIA- Emerging Party in 2014 Election Led by Narendra Modi
Emerging Party in 2014 Election in India Led by Militant “Orator”
Tuesday, 24 September 2013 – By Papri Sri Raman, Truthout | Op-Ed
India, like the United States, is one of the largest democracies in the world – and also home to 1.23 billion people. By April 2014, the country will elect a lower House of Parliament for the 16th time. These elections are being described by the media as a “game changer.” The government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, led by the Congress Party (Indian National Congress), has been in power since 2004, and the nation is believed to be spoiling for a change. In India, psephologists (those who study elections) call it the “anti-incumbency factor.” Then, this is a country that loves to play the game of predictions. All in all, the political cauldron is bubbling in this corner of the earth, stewing in it is the “Idea of India.”
Why should that interest the world? With the Syria and Iran weapons issues on the table and a general economic slowdown, the world’s eyes are not turned to India.Yet remember, it is recession that created conditions for the Third Reich. Continue reading →
