GAME CHANGERS IN DEC. 9 GENERAL ELECTIONS


WITTEN BY CLAIRON HAYNES

As the campaign draws closer to the GENERAL ELECTIONS date in Saint Vincent and the Grenadine, we see quite a few GAME CHANGERS poking their noses as KEY PLAYERS in determining the elections RESULT on Wednesday night. 



1. The NDP campaign strategy keeps exposing them as a party not to be trusted in government. Will this affect their performance at the polls? Yes and no. If the educated and critically thinking supporter of NDP judge them based on the number LIES AND DECEPTIONS which allegedly ooze out from their campaign then some of those votes may go to the ULP. On the other hand there are many supporters of the NDP who hold on to their party for LIFE AND DEATH and no matter how many SKELETON CRAWLS OUT FROM THEIR PARTY'S CLOSET they will not jump ship for all that it is worth. Could this be a FORM OF MENTAL SLAVERY?
 




A letter circulating on Facebook seems to suggest that the NDP ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO SABOTAGE LIAT TEST FLIGHT AT ARGYLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WHICH WAS SLATED FOR YESTERDAY. It amazes me how this CAT GOT LEAKED OUT OF THE BAG AND LANDED UP IN PUBLIC DOMAIN.

 

2.  TEST FLIGHTS OF THE FOUR SMALL PLANES AND LIAT AT ARGYLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
Dr. Ralph Gonsalves is a POLITICAL STRATEGIST. These test flights could not have been done at a better time. I know I criticized him in a video prior to my endorsement of the ULP of using this as a tactic to gain "SYMPATHY VOTES" and that "THE NATIONAL COLOURS SHOULD BE USED FOR A HISTORIC EVENT AT THIS. I must give him CREDIT for PLAYING THE BETTER CARDS IN THE GAME CALLED POLITICS. I maintained that the NDP would have done the same if this shoe was on their foot.

Persons who had DOUBT as to whether or not the AIA will be completed soon HAD NO MORE NEED TO WORRY. This is a major player in this elections as the ULP can be seen as a government that DELIVERS ON THE PROMISES MADE TO VINCENTIANS. Vincentians at home and in the diaspora definitely BUY INTO THE NOTION THAT IT IS BETTER TO LEAVE THE ULP IN OFFICE TO FINISH THIS AIRPORT. The ENORMOUS POSSIBILITIES FOR JOB CREATION can ALREADY be SEEN. 
 
 
 
 3. PARTY ENDORSEMENT
 We all know the POWER of ENDORSING a political party especially by persons WHOSE STATUS IS CREDIBLE. The number of who VINCENTIAN ARTISTS AND CARIBBEAN LEADERS who have endorsed the ULP is astonishing. This definitely goes a long way in influencing the voters especially YOUNG PEOPLE. People will buy a product when FAMOUS CELEBRITIES names are on them. Likewise when you have MOST OF THE FAMOUS ARTISTS APPEARING AT ALL OF THE RALLIES AND DRESSED IN THE COLOURS OF THAT PARTY that political party will gain some voters by ASSOCIATION. I myself is part of this endorsement.

3. LEADERSHIP WITH A DIFFERENCE 
The team that has the best line up of candidates wins the elections in most cases. The voters need to feel well represented and so they tend to cast their votes for proper presentation. The ULP no doubt seems to have the better line up. It is believe that this is the main reason why A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE SWINGING IN THEIR DIRECTION.

 3. WHO HAS THE MORE RALISTIC MANIFESTO. The ULP seems to have the BIGGER & BETTER MANIFESTO based on what I have read. NDP seems to have HOLES in theirs.
