yes, but you have to go back to Truman-era &quot;do-nothing congress&quot; to find less accomplished.
Could race, class and the recession be factors in this session?

yes but these examples show a weakness in the system. i would want to make sure there was some remedy if that situation occurred.

so now Jamaica's problems are a result of the Westminister system of government..AND the Queen of England being the head of state..
which , if we should follow “the Brains” here reasoning, replacing the British Queen with a &quot;Jamaican Queen&quot; … we will fix Jamaica

Get rid of the Queen of England and Jamaica's problems will disappear..

We probably need to have that done in other commonwealth that have the same problems.. Like Canada for example..
Having the queen as the head of state is ruining this country


Crime, illiteracy, hopelessness, corruption and poverty on the other hand.. ?? No problem mon!




</div></div>


this is ridiculous...
no one is saying get rid of the queen of britain and it will solve j-a's problems overnight...

but at this point its useless to repeat the issue...
it is already written in the thread if you care to read it...

a jamaican queen...kikikikikiki

do you think it is has been harmful to Jamaica? how is it working in your neck of the woods? </div></div>
ditto with the not working out...like most of the former british colonies in the caribbean </div></div>



Trinidad replced the queen with a president (wonder if they refer to him as the Trinidadin queen) Guyana did the same.


didn't seem to have a significant impact on their outcomes </div></div>
