budget 09/10, great is the pnm

[W1nTry]

but is still more fair and legal than using taxpayers money to move ppl around to change voting patterns

Wait... man didn't read my post oh what? they already use tax payers money to MOVE THE ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES!!! so what are you really saying?

...but then, building on what Laertes said, if any one party were able to manipulate a section of the
electorate, along ethnic lines, and that section were the majority, we would have a situation where
that party would always win where that ethnic majority was always available.

Thats a serious con right there.

That is the flipside of my suggestion, but on the other hand, it gives some level of proportional representation...I mean, look at COP, they got somewhere between 15-20% of the vote, and nothing to show for it.

Should it be that 1/5 of the country has absolutely no representation in the function of the country?

*W1nTry is clearly wailing in vain as men repeat the same song in their subsequent posts*....

[W1nTry]

Seen, hard luck dere, I does get vex when I even THINK about the CRAP dat does go on...

[haterforever]

so on a side note, wuz d new price of beers, cuz i remember the days i coulda lime outside the grocery by uwi and buy 4 beers ah round for twenty dollars

[SPK]

Well my guess will be that the price will go up by another $1 across the board....maybe more in clubs etc...that's for local beers mind u. Maybe double the jump for those favouring foreign brands.

[W1nTry]

As you get older and start to value your dollar more, you'll come to realize that beers is a young boy drink, cause no way in hell you paying the same money for a 5% alco beverage when you can page the same (in some cases less) for a rum and coke. XD

or just forego go buying by the  'drink' altogether  and just call by the half or the bottle..... 

[SPK]

Spoken like a man of wisdom dey Disciple...

Beers I does like to have to start with, maybe 2 for the most, then the alco comes into play from there on in...

NOT something to be done in a club, so that's not true in all cases

And if you planning to drink, you wouldn't do so in a club specifically unless u have a lot of spare change...just saying

[UltimateGamer]

^^ Trinis' amazing eh! Imagine all yuh could go from discussing the budget and marginal seats, to how to buy alco. Hmph

[SPK]

Well it's still related, as it is a factor that has been manipulated for this budget. It's yet another area that affects a significant portion of the working and middle classes, so you must expect it to turn up as part of the discussion.

..Perhaps the Alco tax and Traffic Citations are to curb accidents? But if they are going to do that, then add a breathalyzer into the mix and kill two birds with one stone...

the alco tax and traffic fine increase was put to make more revenue for the government. they don't care about the accidents

[Crixx_Creww]

The child was in the front seat on de mothers lap..child flew out the window..a childseat wud hav drastically curb the child chances of fatality...
De saftiest place in an accident is inside ur car yes.
