Perhaps one day we&#039;ll have a world class eduction system and a Government whose moral compass provides a shining paradigm of morality &amp; exemplary ethics together with respect for both their position and the electorate they serve.

Sadly 14 years of PLP rule and indoctrination have rendered a portion of the voting population with the civility and honour of a disgruntled child whose had their toys taken away for bad behaviour.

		<description><![CDATA[I agree. I am 21 years old and was an undecided first time voter also. But these are some of the reasons I voted OBA this morning:

-In my opinion I think the PLP spent more than enough time bashing the other party through television ads, print brochoures, radio etc. They didn&#039;t spend enough time addressing the issues so I&#039;m not familiar enough with them to know.

-The basically harrassing phone calls from MIAMI (305) on behalf of the PLP were annoying. The same number called over and over and when we answered no one said anything until the last time where they explained what the PLP has done and asked if they can count on our vote.

-The PLP candidate for my constituancy has only come once in years and when he did, we were away. My eldery grandmother who is a registered voter was home at the time and her caregiver answered the door and explained that the owner of the house was not there and that only my grandmother who is basically confined to bed was. Instead of speaking with my grandmother, plp candidate said &quot;well I guess she won&#039;t be voting.&quot; And he left!

-PLP always brings up race which is irrelevant and a turn off in itself. This is 2012. With the number of interracial relationships and interracial children being born these days, the &quot;race of the party&quot; should not even matter. I&#039;m black and I strongly believe that black people having seperate everything (BET. Historically black colleges, essence/ebony magazine etc) is a BIG reason why racism still exists. How can we as a country move on from racism if our leaders are still stuck on it?

-And of course the vandalism of the signs like above. It makes you wonder what type of people the PLP has supporting them. And honestly, I really don&#039;t want to be grouped with a bunch of people (PLP supporters) that act like that.  

There are many more reasons but those were the main ones why I chose OBA.]]></description>
