"Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in" - Michael Corleone, Godfather III
It's been, what? eight months?
See, the problem for me is that I love politics. But in SVG, we aren't exactly savvy practitioners of the dark art of politics. Oh, we have lots of commess. Lots of absolutely unfounded opinions. And lots of... for want of a better word... bullshit.
But in terms of ideas, reasoned debate, or even some juicy backroom intrigue, being a political junkie in SVG is kinda like being Tiger Woods in a room full of Black women: not much to hold your interest, and certainly nothing you were hoping to see.
The burst of politics and issues that surrounded the Referendum campaign had me engaged for a bit, but by January, we were back to same ole' same ole from both sides. When EG Lynch is the most politically influential figure in your society... (I don't know how to finish that statement without sounding a bit too superior and elitist, so I'll let it hang).
So, I got bored. I tuned out. I started watching Sunday Morning talk shows about USA politics (Guess what? They're more backward than we are!). I got my fix from various online magazines. Life was good.
Like Michael Corleone, I thought I was out. But I wasn't counting on the political silly season. Boundaries Commissions! Campaign finance! Internal party squabbling on candidate selection! Lies! Rumours!
Ideas? not yet. But hope springs eternal.
I'm back. Maybe. At least until elections. I think :)
...I stated earlier...and I quote "it was a fact that there was an INJUNCTION AGAINST THE ORDER THAT BC presented to the courts that they cannot publish the 17 seats...they can only publish 17 seats if they make a NEW ORDER!" ...ok the first part of that statement is a indeed a fact..but the second part of that statement that says that they can only publish 17 seats if they make a new order...I am now not sure if that is correct...
