Political Opinions…Keep Them to Yuhself!!

Ladies and Gentlemen of this lovely twin island country, if you would please give me a moment to whisper in your ear...Are you listening...Good...."I do not care which political party you support!!! and NO i do not want to engage in any conversation about why i should vote for your particular party.....Keep it to Yuhself!!"




If the world was meant to know our political persuasions, when we go to vote, booths would not be provided and we would be required to record or better yet announce our vote. In other words my good people, voting is supposed to be an anonymous/ privately done act, and it is done this way for a reason.

People are very passionate about their political affiliations and have been known to get very violent towards persons who do not share their political opinions. I can recall a gentleman calling-in to one of the more popular radio stations claiming that many of his Facebook friends had deleted him because he promoted his political views and directly or indirectly criticized the rival party.


Now people this is a prime example of what i am referring to. Facebook is a public forum!! Now i am not saying that you are not entitled to an opinion, but lets be real, there is a difference between supporting a party and shoving your political views down somebody's throat.


There is a line that we should not cross. Imagine politicians are being insulted, cursed at, even physically attacked while greeting constituents...oh gosh Trinidad!! is that where we are mentally?


We should refrain from speaking about politics and religion in public forums; it's just about being respectful of other peoples' beliefs....

Right now i am itching to say what i think about Kamla and Patrick, but i know better....

I will say this though....Politics in Trinidad is a big Soap Opera...... so get your popcorn ready because its gonna be Hella Entertaining!!

oh and please people get out there and vote...it's your duty, and lets leave the pecong to the professionals on the platform OK!!


Till Next Time.....
Kisses!!
