By all means, feel free to show up at a town hall meeting. Just be careful what questions you ask lest you be told to leave and threatened with violence.

What the Government is doing is merely trying to appear to be doing something without doing anything at all.

The demand for remote/online voting has been around almost as long as the internet and online banking has been available. The PLP have made themselves perfectly clear. They don’t want it. They are afraid of the educated voter. They are afraid of the college and university student vote. They are also affraid of other registered voters who happen to be off the island during an election period. The longer that they can drag out actually doing anything the better.

Talk. Keep talking about it. Better still, create another issue to deflect attention.

What is the problem? If we can conduct our banking and business from anywhere in the world online, we can certainly do our voting from anywhere anytime.
