PNP Drop Manifesto – JLP Start Sweat?


(Original street column by Juboy – weh call tings as mi see it)

1. Eeeh eeh, Yuh See Wah Gwaan?

Mi nah lie, di political air get hot like midday sun pon Red Hills Road. PNP buss out dem manifesto like dem a drop new dancehall album, an mi swear mi see some JLP face screw up like when salt drop inna yuh coffee.

Question is – is di Prime Minister an di JLP really a lose dem mind, or dem just a run di classic election game a “pretend panic” fi keep di base active?”


2. Election Fever a Kick In

Election season inna Jamaica nuh normal – it’s like World Cup. Everybody a argue pon corner, bus driver a drop political joke, an yuh aunty weh nuh vote since 1989 suddenly a watch every press conference.

When Opposition drop a manifesto weh actually sound like it have plan fi fix road, deal wid crime, an keep belly full, di government haffi respond fast – cause people attention short.


3. Manifesto Nuh Mean Nuttin

Some man seh manifesto a just “pretty promise book” weh get fling way after election. But mi haffi remind yuh – a manifesto is like contract pon paper. If it well-put-together, it can shake di whole election vibe.

JLP know dis, so dem cyaan just laugh it off – dem haffi find way fi mash it up wid facts, or distract people wid dem own “big announcement.”


4. How Di JLP A React

Step 1 – Rapid Press Conference

Dem wheel out top ministers fi poke hole inna PNP plans.

Step 2 – Counter-Proposal Drop

Mi hear dem a plan fi push out dem own “next big move” fi outshine di manifesto.

Step 3 – Grassroots Fire-Up

Dem a send crew pon di ground fi remind loyal voters bout “what JLP do already.”


5. Juboy Political Memory

Mi memba back inna di 2000s when manifesto drop an di other side act like nutten nah happen – by di time dem wake up, election done an dem lose bad. Dat’s why mi think JLP nuh tek dis one light – cause PNP a talk tings weh connect to di average Jamaican struggle right now.


6. Miss Gloria Pon Di Bus

Miss Gloria, 62, tell mi she tired fi hear talk widout plan. She read di PNP manifesto online an seh, “If half a dis real, mi might switch vote.” She nuh alone – plenty undecided voters listen close when plan sound practical.


7. Mistakes JLP Fi Avoid

  1. Downplay di Manifesto – It mek dem look scared fi debate.

  2. Too Much Personal Attack – Jamaicans waan hear solution, not gossip.

  3. Late Rollout of Own Plan – By di time dem drop it, people mind set already.


8. Who Dis Nah Work For

If yuh already die-hard one side, manifesto nah change yuh mind. But fi di “silent middle” – dis a big deciding factor.


9. If JLP Waan Hold Dem Ground

  1. Drop Clear, Simple Plan – No long talk, show numbers.

  2. Match or Beat Key Proposals – Especially pon crime, cost of living, an job creation.

  3. Stay Calm Publicly – Panic show weakness.


10. Politics is Chess, Not Domino

JLP might look rattled, but dat could be strategy – cause inna politics, sometimes yuh pretend fraid fi mek opponent feel too confident. One ting sure – dis manifesto talk just mek di road to election 10x more spicy.


11. Juboy Reasoning

Drop inna di comment section – Yuh tink JLP really a lose dem mind, or a just election theatrics? Cause from mi deh yah pon di corner watch di moves, it look like next few weeks ago get real interesting.
