The Editor:
I consider myself a floating voter. I have listened carefully to both sides of the debate concerning the Constitutional Amendment Bill. I am not one to be easily convinced to support political measures. Searching for more information, I took the time to listen to the debate in the Senate.
The run off seemed to be the most contentious issue within the bill. Dr Rolph Balgobin and Dr Dhanayshar Mahabir made major contributions to be actually make the bill workable for the benefit of all parties contesting an election.
I would like to say kudos to them both and also the government to accepting their proposed amendments. In this amended form, this bill will definitely improve our democracy.
