Here we disagree his position of Power could be much stronger if he was not an M.P of Tivoli.

Nope. Is like yuh nuh kno how di JLP run. Case in point:

Wen im guh ah conference...wich bad man ah guh back im if Tivoli support ah nex guy?

Is his position of power strong now ? as he sits at this moment rumours of expulsion , impeachment and resingnation abounds.Poor choices of alternatives for a leader to make as M.P from the garden.

I don't know the internal wranglings of the JLP so I can't state his strength within that party...rumours of revolt notwithstanding.

What I know is that he is strengthened within the party by virtue of being MP for West Kingston....and not some backwater.

You could easily make a case that if he was M.P fron any other area he could manuver himself out of the mess alot more safely , right now he is stuck in deep Sh*t and its growing .The alternatives by the day gets bleaker.

Let's not confuse maneuvering within the party and maneuvering to extricate his regime from the self created mess.

Within the party he can DEFINITELY maneuver with strength due to the Tivoli association.
In GOJ affairs with the US re the extradition case...he is weakened and seen as compromised by the same association.

Apples & oranges.

Call me crazy but I believe that any true progressive leader can run di ting without T.G as its base , because the dismantaling of garrisons, social contract , diaspora involvement, constitutional change of true voter represational politics etc would require that T.G be run as part of Jamaica , not a state within a state.

Dream on.

Welcome one and all to the best damn site in the world.

Its would only be relevant if spending a certain amount of time in Jamaica automatically granted the visitor a certain level of knowledge about the inner workings of the country. It doesn't.......so.....lets stick to the topic at hand and continue to discuss our OPINIONS, because thats all they really are.

Your lack of a substantive response to the question probably means that you have had minimal if any exposure to Jamaica's reality on the ground. Not that this condition disqualifies you from holding opinions or expressing them ...but it certainly explains your naivete.

It's certainly relevant if you wish to be taken seriously with your forthright views on the minutiae of Jamaican politics and sociology.
