Comment: Well written article, I am much older than you are and have never voting in SK because of this reason, my family are supporters of the labor some have even serve in office.I did like the way the Government or supporters of the different parties treated each other,a lot of people lost they jobs or missed out on opportunities because they supported a particular party. if Voting is a right than we should have the right to vote for who we think is best to lead our country not who our family supports

Comment: To Anna: We cannot have "the do as I say & not as I do mentality". The youny lady is right if elders can go so far to not wear a color cause of party what about gang members. they are known by that color & that is what they will represent, it's not that it's encouraged,but it's plain facts and that's why politicians have to be careful

Comment: As a first-time voter, especially if you are interested in politics, I recommend you go out to the political meetings..UNEP, Labour and PAM. That is the only way you will have a better understanding of what is going on in terms of current party issues, however, you're bound to hear personal attacks on ministers/candidates. I am confident once you attend a few, you would be able to weigh the issues for yourself and make a decision based on who u think is better suited, and not on petty politics!

Comment: A very good and wll-balanced article. One essential question to consider in determining who to vote for is the following: What can the present gov't in the next 4-5 years that it has not been able to do over the past 15 years? In other words, the go'vt had 15 years to reduce crime and they failed. Can they do it in 4 more years??

Comment: This story is frightening. Rasta man I commend you for speaking out against the smoking. I am pray your recovery goes well.These vagabans just taking over the country, if you speak they want to kill you. the young ppl have no respect for human life. I hope this young man is given an attempted murder charge for this crime. Ppl like him who has the devil in them don't need to be walking our streets.

Comment: I am a entreprenier for 21yrs, very good/brave article.I was in the mind frame that I won't vote labour again,not Pam, because they 2 not ready yet.I came to my senses when I hear the PM always sounding so annoying 2 listen.So I ask myself Labour was not READY when we put them.Ghost,Asim,Liburd,Dougie,De Doctor definitely not ready.I feel I can trust Pam more... Lindsey might b short but he has a great wife/family that can make a difference. Our marraige ratio is the lowest..Why the Pm Single?

Comment: Many persons are unsure of who to vote for. When PM Douglas first came on the scene he didnot not seem ready to lead and many persons thought only Simmonds alone could govern but Douglas stepped up to the plate and we had a change.Why not give Grant a chance you never could tell what a pam government could do for us. For the past couple of elections and up to today he has brought very good ideas to the table and besides why not give him 1 term if he messes up kick him to the curb.

Comment: I enjoyed reading this article, I must say that it was well put together. I hope that when people read this, they must realise that they should not judge someone for voting for a particular party because of their family. I also think that every young individual should not be pressured, they should be able to vote for who they think will make this country a better place. The elder generation had their turn to vote for their right, it's now our turn.

Comment: Hooray, finally someone at SKNvibes thinking outside the box. This article is well written. I agree with what you are saying but the reality is that people get branded because of their last name. My family is known to support the Labour Party and I know if I even dream about voting Pam no one would believe me even if I did. So, if the need arises for me to seek assistance depending on which side wins next election ' "I DEAD". So If I cannot vote of Labour i not voting at all.

Comment: It does not matter what the person smoke,whether it's legal or illegal to do so in public. It damages the health of ALL. If they want to do something about protecting the youths,MAKE A LAW,NOT TO SMOKE IN PUBLIC.What you do in your house is your business,but if you want to protect the People of this country,STOP THE SMOKING IN PUBLIC. Whether it's to the rasta or none rasta. R.E.S.P.E.C.T
