have you spoken to trinidadians? Both sides think the other is racist
[/quote] That is exactly my point and why would then think that Robinson acted outside the norm?
Quote:Lawrence Maharaj is an honest man, he went to Panday and told him about corruption . Panday refuse to listen.
He was the solicitor General and resigned , when he found out about corruption..
Panday went to Jail . First PM to do so.
Quote:. He did the same to Kamla .
Kamla lead a bunch of thieves ....4 are about to be prosecuted shortly .
Quote: Panday was a little corrupt and so what . Every Govt in Trinidad was corrupt starting with Williams all the way down to Rowley
I am an Indian male ..what you wrote above speaks volumes about you . Are you aware that the Africans are calling my
relatives in South Trinidad thieves based on Kamla . They are hard working farmers who plant and sell crops after the cane
industry was shut down.
You know nutting about T&T politics ...end of discussion. > >

Why do you think that it is shameful? Pretending that Trinidad is post racial is naïve.

Quote:ANR was also at the epicentre of another of the country’s most dramatic political crises of the 21st century: the 18-18 tie of the 2001 election. Before breaking the tie, he got both leaders to guarantee him another five-year term, assistance with the preparation of his memoirs, and “whatever else would make him comfortableâ€. These concessions were not too difficult to secure.
In reality, the tie-breaker was perhaps the most politically costly mistake of his career. Lloyd Best might say he made the “wrong mistakeâ€. The decision split the country between north and south and, worse yet, did so on tribal grounds. Both sides felt deserving of the win. The United National Congress (UNC) argued it got more votes (3.34 per cent) than the PNM, while the PNM countered that it got two more seats than it had done before. In the end, Robinson chose the PNM, citing superior “moral and spiritual values as his point of comparisonâ€. I thus supported Robinson’s decision, arguing the Westminster model did not guarantee that in the event of a “hung parliament†the incumbent would always prevail.
Quote:In recent comment on the 2001 events, the Prime Minister acknowledged Robinson’s decision inflicted a grave and hurtful wrong upon the Indian community; however, called upon the national society to consider whether the event might not be used as an opportunity to re-examine our constitutional formula. PM advised that the society should “move onâ€.
A president should rule by precedents not by race.
Years later he made a comment I made a mistake giving it to Manning .
