that said the PNP would never win another election under PSM's leadership?

They said PNP will wander in the wilderness for the next ten years.

Where are they now? Possibly hanging with Wignall

Boo Joshua ? Is when dat Boss? prefer see it than hear it. I was in Ja at that time.

[Jawge]

I personally heard him get booed loudly as Norman Manley Games in '80 as soon as his name was announced. The more famous incident was in I think '79 at a tennis tournament in Montego Bay where he was really shaken as it was the first time it had happened to him as PM. I am surprised that as a Joushua disciple you would not have been aware of that.

Who predicted that Portia would be the "death knell of the PNP"? I cannot remember ANYBODY on this forum saying anything of the sort. I remember saying something along the lines that the PNP would have to keep her as leader for one more election and then she would have to give it up. Well it turns out Drivah/JLP made it easy for the PNP to win back power without any kind of reform after thier mostly unsuccessful 18 year stint. So be it.

My opinion of Portia has not changed much in the last 5 years. She is a strong and likeable woman with a populist message that appeals to the masses...nothing wrong with that. However she is not the kind of leader that I expect to come up with new and innovative policy ideas and solutions to our problems.

IF the PNP is united for the long term maybe she can get that kind of input from her team and she can be the glue that keeps it all together...Reagan was that kind of leader. She has her chance for a full term let us see what she does with it.

Well, it looks like we have a forumite who was a witness to that sad occasion in Jamaicas history...maybe he can recall those fading memories and tell us what it was like to be in the crowd.

Jawge you really need fe brush up pon you Jamaican history. It was in MONTEGO BAY! If you don't know about this then there is probably much more about Joshua that you don't know as well.

[Jawge]

As I said I do not know of Joshua being booed in Mobay (especially 79).

It's not a leader's job to come up with new and innovative ideas. That is delegated to members of the team in varied field of expertise. Do you think it's Bill Gates that came up with all the ideas for Microsoft? Same for Jobs at Apple? No the ideas were presented and the leader makes a call.

BTW do you think Nanny P's policy on gays was new and innovative for Ja?

[Jawge]

Let me keep it real here: which class of people would attend a tennis tournament in 7os in Ja.

Now if you told me this was done at a football match in Jarrett Park, you would have my attention. Those people knew why they booed him (because Joshua wanted something for the masses and they hated that fact).

[Islandman]

New and innovative to have a position on the legality of homosexuality that is shared by every other democratic country in the Western Hemisphere?

Sigh.

What she did was display strong and decisive leadership which is commendable, but just because Bruce had a primitive position does not make her opposing position new and innovative.

[Jawge]

Next thing you are here telling me that Nanny P was booed at Polo games in Tryall.
mi belly

[Islandman]

LOL. Ok boss I see you clutching at straws so mek we leave it alone. Pure uptowners were at Norman Manley games too, don't? Do you have any idea what the Norman Manley games were by the way? I have to stop assuming these things.

Oh case you did not know , Manley lost the 1980 election 51-9 and he was in danger of losing his own "safe PNP" seat to Peralto. There must have been a lot of uptowners voting that day. LOL!

Your knowledge of Jamaicas political history is sorely lacking.

[Jawge]

This is why I said Ja. Many things are being done in the western world that isn't eing practiced in Ja as we speak. Nanny P boldy stepping forward will be viewed as new and innovative. The term is relative.

[Jawge]

Is who yuh tink vote out Joshua? Same PNP cause dem fraid ah communism PLUS they saw that the USA wasn't backing Joshua. Mi know say yuh party did done fram dem go up against di USA. Unnuh lucky say is 21 unnuh get.

[Baddaz]

i have never heard of michael manley being booed any place in jamaica or the world for that matter... not saying you didn't hear that first hand... just saying that i have never heard any similar account from anyone...

there is some truth to the idea that drivah/jlp with their arrogance and poor governance made it easier for portia and the pnp to win...

However she is not the kind of leader that I expect to come up with new and innovative policy ideas and solutions to our problems.

with portia, it is a team... she said that on more than one occasion... it is not just about her... it is a TEAM... it is early days, give her a chance... after a reasonable period of time, we can start the critique and go on the campaign trail...

the manley booing took me over the boundary... just had to respond... i would like to know more about the manley booing...
