Wonder whether grandfather will have the grace and dignity to congratulate a historic win(ner)or whether he will remain true to form. My bet is on the latter. Gas Cylinder was empty after all ...

My prediction and the time stamp: ... Rakitha W Friday, 15 November 2024 03:41 AM ... If the same continues all over the island, they'd get around 175. When the the N and E scenario is taken in, they may get about 155. Is this possible?... (Forgot to type 'trend' in the original.)

NPP has skills and knowledge and ability to do this .. let us all renew our loyalty to this country and nation ..
