The Duke of the PSA wants in on the THA

This position is an important political step into the political arena.

However, the worrying pending allegations of sexual misconduct facing Duke, could loosen a few pillars in the ramparts of his political castle. According to the Trinidad Guardian’s 2016 yearend review, there are 48,942 eligible voters in Tobago. We wait with the proverbial baited breath to see how many citizens of Roxborough/ Delaford and indeed all of Tobago, will vote for Duke and his Progressive Democratic Party.

Why am I interested in what happens in Tobago? Because Tobago is extremely important to Trinidad, always has been and with the Sandals franchise carded, Tobago will be more golden than ever. Allegations of sexual misconduct carry a life-long stigma far worse than fiscal misbehaviour.

It is of great import to win the female vote. A certain famous American billionaire seemingly had both Seepaul luck and Gopaul luck on his side as well as millions of willing males to vote him into office. A once in a lifetime large slice of political luck.

Tobago is a lot smaller. Do we dare compare?
