Barbadians will be going to the polls in 2018 with one media outlet suggesting that elections will be called in May. Curious about past election results – for Barbados – I searched around and found the Caribbean Elections website. This site features a treasure trove of election related data for Barbados as well as several other Caribbean countries.

The table I created (see below) consists of high-level Barbados election data sourced from Caribbean Elections (C.E.) between 1951 and 2013. Non-Voter data was not provided by C.E., so I calculated it based on available data:

    Yes, we can see no other reality. With certainty, modern man/woman is going the way of the dodo bird.

    The only possible proviso would be the population of another planet. That is unlikely for at least another 100 years although interplanetary vehicles are being readied right now.

    Stephen Hawkings seems to agree. !00 years at most.

    At the rate we’re going earth’s resources will run out within 100 years

    So Bushie’s master narrative about some magical by-and-by somewhere in the sky was always utter nonsense

    The kind of ignorance only toddlers could believe.

    Has anyone ever noticed that Mottley supporter Peter Wickham never ever uses the platforms provided to him by the Starcom group to speak about THE BLP ELECTION STRATEGY.
    You will see him write articles about what the DLP is supposed to be doing but he is extremely silent about analyzing the BLP strategy.
    It is really unfortunate since he is the first person the elite media turns to for political analysis and commentary. He seems unable to separate his worship of Mottley from his role as a supposedly independent social scientist.

    Barbados really needs people in political analysis who unlike Peter Wickham, George Belle and Tennyson Joseph have been so personally attached to a political figure or in some cases have been promised high priced consultancies and picks by the BLP that they cannot say anything that might be perceived as negative towards the opposition leader.
    It is the height of intellectual dishonesty and deceit.
    It becomes worse when these 3 individuals are the only voices that the elite media invite to “explain” political events to Barbadian voters.

    It is clear that the level is now so low in Barbados, that the media is unable to find even a few commentators who are of even moderate intelligence.

    Dennis Johnson and Corey Lane apart, VOB is infested with Peter W – who comes across as an immature little girlish boy with an overly active perception of his own intelligence…
    Sanka is out of his league…. what a ‘wussy’ as Gabriel is wont to say…
    Yesterday he lambasted the US embassy for advising its citizens in Barbados to boil drinking water – something which practically all travellers do when in foreign jurisdictions. The man somehow seems to think that Uncle Sam should have asked our permission to tell its citizens here to boil water…. SMH

    CBC probably closed their talk show because even the DLP yardfowls had come to realise what idiots they had on the radio – and apparently were unable to find any better.

    The Advocate is a waste of paper….but maybe a good mechanism to get national awards.

    The Nation is a foreign owned organ whose mission has always been to destroy Barbados. They have accomplished this admirably -with Arthur’s full support under the code name -CSME….. and then forcing Thiefing-Thompson and Foolish-Froon to finish off the job…

    Long and short….
    Barbados is best characterised by what is happening in Hastings….and it seem that no one knows how to fix it.

    Isn’t PW- like any other wo(e)man- entitled to change his/her mind about the kind of ‘man’ she/he wants to be in bed with, politically or otherwise?

    Wasn’t PW, your self-styled prostitute of journalism, a provider of similar services (currently supplied to the MAM’s BLP) under a David Thompson-led DLP?

    Wasn’t your turncoat whore of journalism a keen supporter of a ‘stiff’ client whose overuse of Viagra composed of lying, cheating and stealing led to his ‘untimely passing?

    But why fret yourself to death, Ms “NationBLPnewspaper”?

    You have your own appointed mouthpiece of economic hocus-pocus and high priest of financial magic to do a similar propaganda job as PW the BLP pussy wicker.

    Just listen in a few hours to the Guv with his upbeat report about the imaginary steady-state growth in the Bajan economy thanks to an unprecedented booming winter tourist season which has led to a sudden turnaround in the country’s forex earning fortunes thereby reducing the pressure on the Bajan dollar peg.

    You can expect the timely return of some of that $300 million in reserves that went missing almost 5 years ago.

    The Guv might be getting on in age and ripe for retirement were he an ‘ordinary’ public sector worker like the BIDC-forced retirees but age does not stop him graduating from the same David Thompson academy whose motto is: ‘I will lie, cheat and steal and fudge numbers to abuse statistics as long as I have a classroom of stupid journalists and yard-fowls (like NationBLPnewspaper) to fool’.
