QUESTIONS TO PONDER ON BEFORE THE ELECTIONS

A little while ago I was watching an American news program on television where a group of journalists were interviewing undecided voters  as to whom they would prefer: Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Bearing in mind that we are in a few days time going to have our own general elections I thought that it might be of some interest to some people if the same questions (with appropriate changes for local conditions) be asked down here. So, here goes:

1.   Who would you rather have as a dinner guest in your home: Kamla Persad-Bissessar or Keith
      Rowley?

2.   Who do you like as a person more: Kamla Persad-Bissessar or Keith Rowley?

3.   Which of the two (Persad-Bissessar or Rowley) do you think is a warmer person?

4.   Which one of them do you think is the more intelligent?

5.   Which one of them do you think is more compassionate, which one cares more for the people?

6.   Which of the two do you think is more genuine or sincere? Who is more honest? Who can you
      trust more?

7.   Is trust an important issue for you? Should it be?

8.   Which of the two do you think is a better manager or has better management capabilities?

9.   What do you think were the three best or biggest achievements or accomplishments of Dr,
      Rowley's 2015 - 2020 regime?

10. What do you think were the three best or biggest achievements or accomplishments of Mrs.
       Persad-Bissessar's 2010-2015 regime?

11.  Do you believe that Delcy Rodriguez came over to T&T to discuss the COVID -19 pandemic or
       do you think that she came here to discuss something else?

12.  If you think that she came to discuss something else, do you believe that what she came to
       discuss had anything to do with that mysterious shipment of 150,000 barrels of gasoline that
       ended up in Venezuela?  If so, do you believe that there is a possibility of T&T being sanctioned
       by the American Government?

13.  Do you believe that we have been told the true state of this country's finances? Put another way,
       do you believe that we are in for a major devaluation after the elections?

14.  Do you believe that we have been told the whole truth about the COVID-19 infections in T&T?

15.  Is this important?

16.  There is a lot of talk about "the One Percent Connection" inside the PNM, i.e., that it is           Syrian/Arab money propping up the PNM with their money pouring into that party's coffers.
        Do you believe this to be true? If so, is it important or unimportant? If you think that it is
        important then why do you think so? If you think that it is unimportant then why do you think
        so?

17.  Are there "money-men" behind the UNC? If so, who do you think they are? Is this important or
       unimportant and why do you think so?

18.   Are you better off today than you were in 2015 or worse off?


Every single question here is being asked openly, i.e., what do YOU honestly think? Obviously you don't have to share your answers with anyone, but speaking only for myself, I was absolutely fascinated with what I considered to be a highly original line of questioning. Certainly, this (line of questioning) made me think a lot. If it does the same to or for you then that would be great.  Because, at the end of the day, it is your opinion and your vote that ultimately matters.
