Election Results in Jamaica

It is alleged that Omar Davis (the previous Finance Minister) once said "Jus run wid it", when he was asked about the Finsac debacle while he was Minister of Finance. I now echo his words in response to the recent Jamaica Elections held on December 29th, 2011.
Stats from the ECJ indicate that approximately 52.10% of eligible voters exercised their right to vote, so what happened to the other 48%?
I will refrain from getting into the analysis of the election, as Jamaica is known for a lot of talking, analyzing and nitpicking, but nobody has the definitive answers to the question of "what happened?. Prior to the election date, it was widely pronounced (using various polls, and learned pundits) that it would be a close election with the JLP winning by a nose. So to see that the PNP won by a wide margin, is a surprise indeed.
To the people of Jamaica, be careful what you wish for, now you have to "run wid it".
To the JLP, now in opposition, take solace that you will live to fight another day, in 2016. To the PNP, now forming the next Government, I hope you have a vision for Jamaica and be prepared for significant pain in this period of a weakening World economy. Be aware that Jamaica in now a welfare state, and you can't keep borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, it is not sustainable.
This is my last post for the year, so to all who venture to read my ramblings. I wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!

Jamaica Elections

Quick Thought
I am NOT preaching, just putting some questions on my "blog" table. These questions have been rambling in my head all day (hmmmm ... I should have better things to do).

By this time tomorrow (September 3, 2007), Jamaica will have completed the election process.

The voters would have choosen to re-elect the existing Government OR to elect the present opposition to govern for the next 5 yrs.

The following day, the sun will rise, the world will continue to rotate, life will go on and somewhere in the world a child will be born. It is the natural order of things that WILL happen.

I did not use prophecy, numerology or phinnology (cough,,, cough) to come to that conclusion. No animals were harmed or injured in arriving at that conclusion either (lol)

Since the election was called, a lot of innocent people have lost their lives (my condolences to their families), but to what advantage or higher purpose did they die?

Was it for a noble cause or political expediency?

Did the ones who committed the killing think that by their dispicable actions, it would have a major impact on the final results?

Did they think that the world will stop and give them untenable wealth if they shot and killed someone from the opposite party?

The shooting in Mandevile of people playing dominoes, just because one was a member of the opposing party, Is that considered rational?

The existing "culture of death" that seem to exist is saddening and to some degree, falls in the realm of absurdity.

I do not think that I am being utopian. Stuff happens and bad people do exist, but to take the senseless killing of another human being as a matter of normal occurrance is insane. To kill or injure another human being, just because he/she is of a different party is abominable.
