The General Election that has been hinted by our wonderful Prime Minister has fed Kamlamania that was initially created by Mrs. Persad-Bissessar winning the post of Political Leader of the Opposition followed by her appointment as Leader of the Opposition. Everybody seems to be looking towards the new Leader of the Opposition to be the first female Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. Personally I am not a fan of Mrs. Persad-Bissessar. I have doubts that she can continue holding the majority of the members of the UNC in order to maintain her post as Leader of the Opposition. I remember all too well this was the fate of Winston Dookeran not too long ago. This is a party that has been through it all with Basdeo Panday always coming out on top. I am not quite sure that he is finished with the party and it would be interesting to see what his role in this alleged election. For the UNC to succeed at any General Election and to be a stable government in power there needs to be unity within the party. Currently this does not exist as there is the back bench of Ramesh, Basdeo and Kelvin, (Ramdeovin perhaps?) with Ramesh acting as a pseudo chief whip. Until the Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar can bring unity to her own party and truly lead the entire party as opposed to a small majority, I am not impressed. Because if she cannot control her own members how is she going to control the country. Luckily for her we still have some limited time before the Prime Minister unleashes the final bomb, the election date. This will give Kamlamania some more time to grow and hopefully emerge as a viable option for some change in society and not just be another mouth piece.
What do you think about the Kamlamania that is sweeping the nation?

Kamlamania was similar to Faye-Ann-mania for Carnival. Although her song was rubbish, people were tired of Machel and Shurwayne. With Kamla, people were just fed-up of Manning.
ReplyDeleteNow that she's won, we'll see how she performs, but yuh know what they say, "Yuh does only feel de heat when yuh in de kitchen".
Well I am quite sure that our first female PM is feeling the heat and will continue to feel it as long as she is there. From the outside looking in people always have answers and feel that the job is easy.
