Thank you for your support during our polling period over the past 2 weeks.

This will be rectified when the vacancies have been filled.

So i guess the perception is that the residents of Grays/green community are soo shallow and gullible that even if they are wallowing in poverty and crime is becoming a natural path of their daily living,like say eating or drinking,they are soo in love with their Massa(he has now become that) that they will just close their eyes and blindly re-elect him.Something looks very wrong with this picture to me.I do hope this will not be so,in this day and age no one can be soo dumb.

Clearly this series of polls at the local level generated much interest and steam. Given this result in particular, no one with a hint of political savvy could take these results to heart. Whereas I agree that the PM is losing steam and lacked national public confidence, it would be a no brainer that he will win this seat again. What is clear in this case is that folks didn't participate at the local level because the outcome is predictable. If Gial gets the right kind of strategic help she could narrowly defeat the PM but not by the mergins this poll suggest. Caribarena's polls are scientific indeed. What the results reflect and the assumptions that frame the polls are definitely problematic.

No surprise

This is no surprise, this man has let our Country down

He is either unable or incapable to lead this Nation

Leaders inspire but this man spends more time traveling than dealing with real issues at home

Sorry to say that the promised Sunshine Government never shone except on a few Cabinet Ministers
