Drumroll please??? No, maybe we can hold out on the drumroll for now, but preliminary results show that the Opposition party, Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) is well on its way to forming the new government after 18 years of starvation. The ruling People's National Party (PNP) is set to go down in flames.
This brought the UK elections to mind when a Conservative government in power for 18 years, just as the PNP, was beaten badly by the Labour government. The difference with both is that the Labour government won by a landslide whereas the JLP only scraped by on a slim 5% majority. I think this representative of the will of the people, the electorate has shown 'who is the boss' and the results show that they are not totally confident in the JLP but they had to make a choice and to them the JLP seems the lesser of the two evils.
More could be said but that's all for now folks. PEOPLE REIGN SUPREME. Parlimentary sovereignty blahhhhh, electorate sovereignty!!!!!!!!
