One thing I detest about the parliamentary system is that generally speaking the elected officials in one party are more or less bound to tow the party line when voting on new policy or legislation, even if your vote may be detrimental to the constituents who elected you to represent them. If there is dissension in the ranks then you run the risk of being relegated to the back benches.

You know I was thinking about the pro's and con's of the parliamentary system today, and I found another bone to pick.

The MPs represent a small district, and are supposed to take time meet with the consituancy and bring their concerns to light.

When an MP is saddled with the ministerial porfolio, or PM duties, those tasks take up all their time, and the good of the country supercedes the good of the consituancy.

That's why I think a separate set of people should be running the country from the MPs.

Of course all of this is theory. Because in reality when you have wutliss career politicians a pree power and benefits, no matter what system you arrange them into, they will not be effective.

Anancy is more the guy we vote for moreso since 1962 when we were given our independence (riddance)

Well said Magix. MPs and Ministers somehow dilute abd defeat the whole factor of efficiency and ability to the jobs right.

Thanks for the correction. We need change to the whole political system. When Bruce formed the NDM, he proposed that as part of the reform, but very few paid him any mind.

interesting ..but i'm not sure what that would look like in a small country like Jamaica. I think we need fewer levels of government not more

Re: Can a Young PM Reform Ja's Old Criminality?

No person should run for more than 2 consecutive terms as PM. He took from the American constitution many of the ideas he sought to propose.

Jamaica gained independence politically in 1962 but where the people are implied as secondary to the sovereignity of parliament is demonstrated every second with rampant disregard for the protection and welfare of our citizens. Unless oif course you belong to any of the 2 ps parties, the ruling one gives the dice to its members.
