Observer goes after Portia

[Gamma]

it was originally called "that annoying thing" but he has reached celebrity status as ...CRAZY FROG!!!!!

[Lazie]

that madate was not from the jamaican people....politics in jamaica is a cult of personality...yuh nuh si dat? dat is why seaga would neva get back in...people nuh like him....even if they admit that he was a good finance minister....did shearer win an election? no...why? no cult of personality....busta and michael especially. seaga benefitted from michael's loss of personality and pj in turn benefitted likewise from seaga's LACK of a likeable public persona.

Mandate from the Jamaican people? Isn't misleading?

[Gamma]

how so?

...she got pj's "what lef".....the pnp chose her and she got to be prime minister. based on my cult of personality theory she did not have her own mandate from jamaica and a party wins because of who is perceived to be the leader or in pj's case...a rejection of seaga.

Karl is talking nonsense. The same John Public that could give her her own mandate, does not have a say in parliament. That's the first thing she needs to realise. If they want to undermine her and vote against her in parliament, the fact that she was given her own mandate does not mean crap!

I agree with you...she was too soft...too trusting...it will come out that Portia's was undermined by her own people...isn't that how elections are lost?

[Karl]

utter nonsense...anyone who would undermine her if she got her own mandate would underm,ine her now...there were 2 compnents karl...clean hose and get her own mandate.....postponing it all until now has only hurt her...that is what the polss reflect...yuh nuh si dat?!!!!

she made a HUGE blunder and no amount of spinning can change that, this election seems to be closer than it could have or should have been in her favour HENCE the need to perform now after the hurricane to try and gain back favour...yuh well and si dat based on your original post but for whatever reason you cannot come out straight and acknowledge it!

Mistake to discount - the power of those see has hand-picked supporting her in the new Cabinet and new PNP Executive. Not just mistake - folly!
