Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Sunday | August 12, 2007

Two different strategies
After some delay, the People's National Party finally published its election manifesto last Thursday it is wordy and bears signs of haste, it nonetheless is a worthwhile document.

A 30:30 election nightmare? An opportunity for a new type of politics

"Can you imagine the confusion that would descend on Jamaica on the 28th [of August] if both parties won an equal number of seats?" one of our leading constitutional lawyers, Dr. Lloyd Barnett, has asked. - Martin Henry

PJ is costing Portia votes

About two months ago, a close associate of former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson dropped in at my office. Patterson has several close associates, many of whom have never run for elective office. They are invariably cheerful and charming people. - Dawn Ritch

An invisible youth policy

It is too close to call! Will there be a changing of course or will we not change course? Hopefully, we will not see a dead heat and, therefore, have an inter-course clash. - Orville W. Taylor

Signs of political maturity

Election Day is only 15 days away and if we go by the pollsters, it will be a narrow victory for whoever wins. I hold the view that the winner will have a clear and comfortable working majority. - Lambert Brown
