Vote for A NEW JAMAICA – The New Merged Local & Gen. Election Systems!

The Jamaicans will be voting at the General Elections soon. Here are questions and our answers to them. We feel these are the questions that should be on the voting public minds’ as the time draws nearer.

Q- Why are we holding General and Local Government elections on separate dates when it costs so much (budget of just under 1 Billion JA$) to host these elections?

A- There are many examples from other countries of the world with much are complexed systems and problems of logistics them Jamaica with its mere 1.3 million voters. (India has more than 300 million voters at elections).

The savings to be enjoy by bringing the two elections together on the same day and using that single ballots for all the candidates could pay for the additional logistics required.

Small island countries like our in the Caribbean have to really confront the hurdles and remove them fast. Get development working now! Simple items like merging elections dates and terms by making them all 4 years instead of 3 for local (many time going for much longer) and 5 for General (many times going much shorter). Even having them held on fixed dates should be applicable by now this just not at all difficult to do.

Jamaicans have to demand these things even those of you living outside of the country – you should be voting too!

Thanks Blessed

Why not support the JLP or PNP?

Hi DK,

Thanks for your question. Elections are suppose to be about our principles. There are a set of principles that the National Democratic Movement, NDM, stand for that cannot be found in the two major parties.

• Separation of Powers (Three equally powerful arms of government)
• Nominations, hearings and then appointment to the major positions
• Systemic changes to the way the country and its business is done
• Participatory Practices for the highest to the lowest levels
• Removal of Income Taxes over 5 year period
• Decentralization of Government Functions
• Dismantling of “Garrison Politics”
• Value for money to citizens
• Apprenticeship Programs

The JLP has not accepted the ideas of the NDM but for a few.  The PNP seems to pick, choose and refuse most of the tenets of our policies else they would have implemented them by now. Using it for playing politics to carrot the citizens then whip them based on their agenda at the time.

Our founding President and other officers and candidates may now be there but the ideas have not gone there with them. Other NDM officers and candidates also are now with the PNP and they have nothing to say on the NDM policies either. It seems their move was motivated by expedience instead of on principle.

Many of the most important things that the NDM stand for do not yet to be discussed let alone accepted by the ranks of the JLP or PNP.  Because it does not really serve them to have these people policies in place.  It is one thing to have returned but quite another to return with conditions (to pretend that you do not believe in the NDM values or that the NDM does not exist.  I do not know what causes JLP/PNP to hold so firmly against the many other good thing the NDM has in mind but that is for them to work out.

All the NDM members and supporters can do is keep on saying and singing the same songs that we believe in. The NDM platform represents us! There is Another Way, JAMAICA! to undo the problems of the past and set a great course for the future. If only our citizens will come to realize that together we can change the system.

Hi Di_M / SG,

Thanks for your words, I agree most of what you say except the so called bad words.

This is a new effort that is trying to bring Another Way, JAMAICA! in the things we say, do and believe in.  It is an online effort and very new that is why you have not heard about it before now.

About politics – I am someone that has run in elections for the NDM twice. I agree with you that the winning candidate should represent us and do things for us. Now that has not been happening and that is why we are working on developing theis idea of Another Way, JAMAICA!

You are clearly a conscious Jamaican and wish to see things change for the better.  If you have a burning issue you would like to introduce or focus on please let us know about it.  Looking out for you next note on the issues.

One Love.

3. Yes Di M / SG,

Thanks again, I agree with the things you say. If the people was feeling the JLP or NDM, then by now the PNP would have lost the elections and be out in the field.  I too notice the things you talk about and know that until some real field work starts to happen the change will never come about.

 

This effort is not just plain politics of vote for me or vote for them.  It is to try and get to us, at first, we in the online community to join forces and start demanded the types of changes we wish to see.

For example:

We are using www.VibesConnect.com and with about 50,000 of it membership being Jamaicans. Now if half of us (25,000) come together in 5 groups around

• Education – Implement “What Works” models to replace that which does not
• Health – Assist, audit and augment the present state of the centers and hospitals
• Commerce – Bring conscious and conscientiousness back to buying and selling
• Crime – Become our brothers keepers ensuring others have access and use thereby no reason to “try taking it away” from another
• Agriculture – Resetting the basis and platform of production and reward to farmer and those that would be interested in the new flourishing Agri-Processing Industry.

Each group having some 5,000 people to work on any project we feel will help our causes.

 

With so many persons working in unity we can do anything. We can Design, Plan, Lobby, Petition and Demonstrate (when required) and must be taken seriously by everybody.  Anytime we wish we can get media attention and money (plenty hands make work light) to carry out our intended projects and plans for the benefit of the wider Jamaican Society.  Do you see where this can lead to?  Catch the “Vibes & Connect” my friend!

Yes Di M /SG,

Welcome then to Another Way, JAMAICA! Di M /SG, Good to hear that you feel this way!

Right now I think building of the groups and teams at his time is most important.  Getting more of us that feel this way on broad is where I will ask you to begin.

1. Work on the members in your friend circle and have them send “Add as a friend” to this Another Way JAMAICA! profile.

2. We have been working on a website for housing all this it is called: http://www.LifeWeLove.com/Citizens

Go to it, sign up and make suggestions.

3. Give me permission to post our discussions on some public blogs (You should do this too) so Jamaicans everywhere can start to hear and feel a buzz coming including and especially those living overseas.  This should interest them a lot.

That should hold us for a three or so days.  We’ll check out the progress then.

Thanks

What is Another Way, JAMAICA about?

Hi MD,

Thanks for asking. Another Way, JAMAICA! is about the following things:

Issues & Answers You and others in this community speak up and out about the things that pose a problem to them and the others here give their views about how to shift and make things for the better for all of us.

Education & Training All of us here can come together to form teams that focus on helping others to become more. We all use our collective knowledge and wisdoms that we all have. These are used to point the way to you and others thereby drawing out the stuff you know and giving instruction on any matter we ask about.

Jobs & Business Using the ideas that are freely shared and offered here, all persons can then start to find the missing tools and networks of people to get work & contracts. These will be new style Jobs and Businesses for the new challenges of today and tomorrow.

• Technology (computing, internet, audio & video);
• Commerce (Network & Leverage Marketing Systems);
• Culture Tourism (Craft and Cookery Cottage micro-businesses).

Community & Government These bodies should be working for all of us to give us the support and help to make our lives even better. We will use our Another Way JAMAICA! teams to help to impact and lobby them to improve on the stuff & on the work they do. Our people will become members of the various civic, community & government groupings out there. Membership to them is what makes it smoother and easier for everyone of us. These groups include those that lead and form our democracy – political movements, coalitions and parties running in the General Elections.
