Regardless of Political Allegiance – All Jamaicans have equal value !
I wonder if people really know the IMPLICATIONS of what Mr. Warmington (Jamaica Labour Party Member) said and the IMPACT it can have on the JLP?
What he basically said is not so much that IF YOU DID NOT VOTE HE WILL NOT ASSIST YOU, BUT!
By saying that if he looked at the VOTERS LIST and if YOUR name was NOT on it, he would not assist you, was a round about way of saying, IF YUH NEVA VOTE JLP him not helping yuh.
And to think that Mr. Holiness now has the AUDACITY to say that even though he was SITTING on stage at the time it was SAID, THAT HE DID NOT HEAR, is CRAZY at best, because as the LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION, by saying that HE DID NOT HEAR, HE HAS ENDORSED WHAT MR.WARMINGTON SAID.
I wonder if Jamaicans really UNDERSTAND what is going on?
I wonder if Jamaicans really understand what the RIGHT to vote vs having an OBLIGATION to VOTE means?
I wonder if Jamaicans understand that NO ONE who HOLDS PUBLIC OFFICE, has the RIGHT to tell ANY CITIZEN that they will not assist he/she because they did not vote?
If that were so, then people who were in the hospital on election day and could NOT vote, will get no assistance from their MP if needed.
The elderly who could not go out and vote ALSO could not get any assistance if needed.
The MAD man on the STREET cannot get any assistance if needed, (cause him cannot vote).
The person who went to the polling station and was told that their name was NOT on the VOTER’S list, cannot get any assistance etc.
I would suggest that EVERY SINGLE JAMAICAN EDUCATE themselves on WHAT it means to VOTE and WHAT their VOTES mean.
In the meantime I will say a prayer for both the JLP and the PNP, that at some point the LEADERS of both PARTIES might find that part of the BRAIN, that requires them to THINK.

mr warminton dutty like a wah tell him a nuh every jamaican fraid fi him
Re didnt say if you did not vote for the JLP … he said if you did not vote. He can tell if you voted, he cant tell who you voted for. Dont misquote the mans Crap, its bad enough as it is.
Compulsory voting is not a law in Jamaica and voting is not only a right, it is a choice. A choice you should not be persecuted for either way. As for War–mington ‘will even chastise his own party in public’. That is also his choice, but it doesn’t excuse the drivel that has come out of his gob on this occasion.
Mr. Warmington did not say “if you did not vote JLP he would not help you” either you are an idiot or you are a liar/propagandist; the man should be commended for encouraging people to participate in the democratic process irrespective of which party they vote for.
may I say warmington is talking crap, we all have a choice to vote or not, but to be punish for not doing so is foolishness ,maybe he should consider what form of punishment must be handed down to all who do not vote in the house when they are about our bussnise .
