Which answer is correct?

31 08 2007

 I was wondering how long it would have taken the Peoples National Party to get on the web and I guess you could say better late than never. I have, in the past, posted JLP ads and wondered why it is that the PNP did not take a similar approach. Personally, I suspect that is because the majority of the electorate may not really be focusing on the web as opposed to print and television.

On examining this commercial, I began to wonder, who is correct. Should we believe those with the accurate data or those who like to chat “nuff nuff and loud?”. This ad has some contradictory information. First of all, the “freeness” argument is one that the JLP has marketed hard. But how soon will we see all of this freeness?

1. Bruce Golding says that the hospital fees and constituency development fund would not materialise before the next fiscal year. I believe when he says that because no government would be embarking on such a project mid-stream.

2. Audley Shaw says that the HEALTH (same as hospital fees etc.) and free education, will begin on “September morning”. At this point I begin to wonder if Mr. Golding did not hear Mr. Shaw’s debate the day before.

3. Bruce Golding says he cannot give any commitment to whether or not we will have to suffer some new taxes.

4. Audley Shaw says NO NEW TAXES as the money will be reallocated. He has even said taxes will be reduced! Dr. Davies tackles him about it. Should I believe the man with the figures or the man with the dreams? Did Mr. Golding watch Shaw’s debate?

5. Audley Shaw says that Richard Azan spent 6 billion dollars on roads and by the next evening, Bruce Golding was saying 9 billion…..who is giving us a 6 for a 9? Portia Simpson Miller says that the budget for roads is 4.5 billion.

Now should I believe Bruce, Portia or Audley?  You be the judge!
