My two cents (pence ).....
. Harmon takes the top seat they'll be in opposition for another 23years
. Volda, best choice but needs to stop this jingoistic approach and appeal to a broader base particular the young and female vote
. AFC, still breathing just!! - Remove themselves completely from the PNCR rhetoric go back to the reason why people voted for them, though it could well be too little to late
. PPP, are the favourites at this point, they have politically out manoeuvred and out thought the PNCR (APNU) as much as I dislike Jagdeo he's played his hand well, question remains and believe who ever takes the top seat could mean they win or lose and its the PPP to lose.
A Jagdeo stooge could leave room for the swing vote again (Young,Mixed,Middleclass) or do they break ties and go with a fresh face?
I do not see the APNU recent performance at the polls as a return of the PPP dominance. I saw 2/3 of the electorate staying home since local elections were not something they were of a habit of concerning themselves about. Black people and mixed will turn out in in the high 80 percent rather than in the low 30's we saw at the local polls. Note well Amerindians were not involved here. They hold the 3 seat margin. The PPP are not be garnering their vote since as the classic supplicants the Amerindian votes will be up for sale here except there is a party dedicated completely to them come on line.
The same apathy in the US saw Trump ascend to power.
