ANOTHER TALK-SHOW host is getting ready to enter representational




ANOTHER TALK-SHOW host is getting ready to enter representational politics.

The Sunday Gleaner understands that Betty-Ann Blaine is to unveil a new political party on Wednesday. The movement is said to have the backing of members of the diaspora.

Blaine's New Nation Coalition Party will be launched on Wednesday at the Wyndham Kingston hotel.

Popular talk-show host, now-disbarred-attorney Antonnette Haughton is the last popular talk-show host to have ventured down the road of representational politics via a new party.

Haughton's United People's Party crashed soon after the 2002 general election after a poor showing at the poll. She polled 130 votes to finish down the track in Central St Mary.

Third parties have struggled to make an impression in Jamaican politics. In the 2007 general election, the Jamaica Labour Party polled 410,438 votes islandwide to the People's National Party's 405,293. Independent candidates and third parties polled a combined 775 votes, of which 354 were won by the National Democratic Movement.

[Assasin]

She better keep her money and nuh end up like Ms Haughton.

Why is it every talk show host feel them can be the Prime Minister?

[Lazie]

Well this should cause her to put some ideas forward. She should also realize that just fussing about children will not resolve Jamaica's problems.

The so called diaspora group is one bag a wind. First thing is is not because them nuh want give the money but most a dem a mascarade don't have it.

Them only have their self interest and political interest at heart if you ask me.

[Rudi]

True wud bredren. Dat's why me nuh bodda round those groups. Most of it is a "photo opportunity".

[Mosiah]

if ever there was a time for a 3rd party, it is now. yet, look at the reaction to her announcement.

most jamaicans, to fill at least an exercise book leaf, think the prime minister should have resigned. yet, even with that, wi nuh waan see back portia any time soon. for most sensible peoples around the world, the solution would be 3rd PARTY STRAIGHT! Not us.

wi look like wi really doomed. the tribalism is so entrenched that wi not even realise dis might be wi last chance.
