Thoughts on General Elections in Jamaica
We are now down to five weeks to election in Jamaica. It seems like it going every so slowly. Bruce Golding was upset that the date was so far away while initially I did not mind as it gave me time sort out some issues, having to do with work-related plans. However two weeks later it is becoming apparent that many people are not happy the long period between announcement and Election Day include the Education Minister.
Interesting things to watch
I waiting to see what will happen between July 31 and August 7, the period declared no campaigning time by the Prime Minister. Will the campaign ads not be run during this period?
Nomination day is August 7 and it will be interesting to see how candidates will be put up by third parties and how independent candidates there will be.
The other thing of interest will be how the political parties will time their advertising campaigns, message wise and from a financial position. It such and long campaign period you have got to manage it right.
Not able to vote
Personally I have to admit that I am really disappointed in myself for not getting enumerated/re-verified and therefore eligible to vote. In essence, I am upset with myself for not giving myself a voice. Considering I wrote this piece, "Your Vote Counts : You got to make a choice", it is clear and I did not take my own advice. There is worse than do as I say and not what I do attitude. Procrastination and bad attitudes is something that I have to fix, a course I have to change.
