I've always tried to steer clear of 'politricks' for two reasons. Firstly, I'm not even close to being an expert on the topic (no topic really but especially that one). And secondly, most of the columnists today invariably mention the topic almost daily.
But, I have to say, honestly, I hope the general and local government elections are called soon. Not because I have any great desire to see the democratic process take place, or to see if the Electoral Commission, has done a fine job: or to see if the incumbent remains or the opposition takes over. Nope, none of that! I just want the thing to be over and done with!

I am looking forward to the local government elections with the same enthusiasm as a series of <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">documentaries</SPAN> on microscopic fungus. Oh the excitement!
Voting
As you probably would have guessed, I have no intention of voting so Prof. Errol Miller will not see my name on his (constantly) refreshed voters' list anytime soon. I've never seen the need to vote for the Poor Nah Prosper (PNP) or Jamaican Lunacy Personified (JLP). As for the Not Doing Much (NDM), I w
