Yes you may! the 11th!

By Taurus – The Heckler

 

 

Well-well-well. Though this is meant to be a light-hearted, nearly-satirical feature. Taurus can’t resist repeating comments written elsewhere about the PPP/C’s family-ties List of Candidates submitted to the Elections Commission.

 

One of Kaieteur News fifteen (15) “Peeping Toms” actually did a weak defence of the descendants on the Ruling Party List; He/she argued that the PPP can boast that their young political professionals will ensure something called “continuity.”

 

Numerous others, like Taurus, regard it as dynastic and nepotism-in-the-making. Sunday Stabroek declared that the PPP lacks appeal beyond the perimeter of Freedom House and might be “creating a hereditary governing class.” And Taurus is worried. Because of the four sons, three daughters, the husband and wife and the brother and sister, if the younger ones should get married, expanded family relationships will govern, administer, and manage the country’s resources – for themselves primarily. Poor tax-payers, poor citizens, poor working-class. Taurus can’t vote for that!

 

 

Taurus is impressed with GECOM’s fierce independence so far. GECOM says “deceased persons whose names are on the Voters List cannot and will not present themselves to vote.” I suppose they had to write that, but how in heaven’s name would the dead rise up to “present themselves to vote”??? And do you know that GECOM is to use transparent see-through Ballot Boxes on Polling Day? Taurus can’t wait to see (through) that.

 

 

Taurus is alerting GECOM that some naughty persons are planning to turn up at GECOM – its National Registration Centre – to say that their I.D. Cards were burnt in fires at various reported “fires” They will then sell their re-placement I.D. cards to some Party Agents for a good small piece whilst retaining their originals. Dat can wuck?

 

 

Philomena’s fire is very low. Linden’s Kissoon’s own seems to be out. Ms. Webster is unwell and it has nothing to do with her and her daughter’s name being called in any scandal last year. Some other (?) high-ranking political lady’s name will be known when the cash-jet pilot sings more sweetly to the U.S. authorities very soon.

 

(An poe Lis Elisabeth! Her son is allegedly allowing her gracious, charming name to be sullied. So many many millions allegedly to be paid back! Poor Prime Minister – Candidate! “Poor?” What poor?)

 

 

PPP P.M. Candidate Harper is married to a former national CRICKETER, her son, now purportedly mining, was a squash champ. Comrade Urling, the German Soup-Maker, is also managing our football. Odinga and God-son Steve are into boxing. Taurus is impressed. Join the PPP/C for a Sporting chance on May 11. May the better team win. (But do you realise that both Mr. Ramotar and Mr. Granger are guaranteed good, safe jobs after May 11?)

 

 

A good change or “cheese” is there to be made during this season. Taurus works on government projects by day – Marriott opening today, synthetic track tomorrow – and puts up PPP and APNU/AFC flags, buntings and posters by night. All for a fee.

 

Stay safe, vote wisely.
