A reinvigorated party with a 40 year old at the helm would at the least be a positive and under normal circumstances where a 15 year old Govt prevails it would be senseless not to aspire to a young envigorating party with energy and new policy, aswell as a strong team full of drive. unfortunately ( in my opinion) the GSLP with or without Bossano has none of the above (your ref to the democratic party election was good btw).<br /><br />You seem quite chuffed with the Panorama poll and I am genuinely pleased you. I am a supporter of good Govt and value visible progress and tangible evidence of this prosperity that ivorrsonally and Gib in it's entireity has enjoyed. I prefer to use the above as a base line on how one might want to vote at election time. <br /><br />It concerns me when an opposition of 15 years has shown no visible substance or desire to lead and show leadership and seems only to have a will to wait for it's turn.<br /><br />To date Gib has had some exceptional leaders including Joe. None however are a patch on PRC and Fabian I am afraid is out of his depth, in addition I fear there are well, let's just leave it at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-22505083802702641482011-03-05T11:31:04.170+01:002011-03-05T11:31:04.170+01:00Anon 22:15, I maintain that it is blind arrogance ...Anon 22:15, I maintain that it is blind arrogance that allows a party that has lost a significant amount of its support to solely attribute that loss to the fact that it has been in office for 16 years as opposed to any failings in its administration of government.<br /><br />Support is indeed won and lost throughout every electoral term, but the question was why have the majority of voters not voted in favour of the GSD since the last election/election poll? It would seem that because there has been no argument to the contrary that the party consensus is what I have already set out above.<br /><br />I agree that the election will be won on the parties' ability to show leadership, but it would seem that again, the majority of people as of a little over a week ago would be prepared to vote for a government with a 72 year old at the helm as opposed to a 54 year old (despite the fact it is all but a given that the 40 year old will be handed the reins in this coming election). I am basing this on a poll that has set a historic precedent for having always been correct in previous elections, indicative of an accurate poll sampling methodology. I am not taking into consideration any other polls which do not benefit from that the same privilege that may set out anything to the contrary.<br /><br />For the record, many GSLP supporters (and obviously detractors), including myself, have long held the view that the 72 year old should have voluntarily relinquished his position as leader of the opposition long before this coming election (putting to one side the fact that GSLP leaders are democratically elected every two years as opposed to other alternatives that may and do exist). <br /><br />To have suggested anything to the contrary would have been... blind arrogance. Mr. Bossano’s legacy has been tarnished somewhat for obvious reasons, but he is still a great man who did a lot of good for Gibraltar and I personally believe that he would have an important role to play in the GSLP party moving forwards, just not as its leader. <br /><br />As reflected by the poll, the electorate again seems to be displaying a reluctance to dwell on what happened more than 15 years ago in respect on what it feels it is best for Gibraltar TODAY. Will the GSLP’s lead increase even further when it is made common knowledge that a reinvigorated party with the 40 year old at its helm have taken the place of the ‘old’ GSLP status quo? That remains to be seen.<br /><br />Have a good weekend all the same. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-7416400939707925312011-03-04T22:15:31.037+01:002011-03-04T22:15:31.037+01:00Anonymous said...

For someone who writes as eloquently as you do, I find it odd that you can interpret a recent poll suggesting a 9 point swing as significant given. Add to this that fact that only months ago the Chronicle had almost the reverse picture. But hey if this sits well with you, so be it.<br />On wisecracking, i think it might well be that the GSD has learned about wisecracks given the 15 year onslought by the GSLP.

But when a post amounts to nothing more than a poorly written vehicle in which a person is able to deliver their “hilarious” witticism at the expense of actually answering a question that’s been put to them, it is then that I think the person writing that post should really try a little harder to be taken seriously and contribute to the discussion at hand.<br /><br />I consider myself to be a propagandist insofar as the next person on Llanitoworld : ) I initially put forward the question to those wisecracking GSD supporters asking why the GSD have lost a significant amount of support since the last election as set out in my 12:02 post. I’m disappointed that aside from yourself, no one has been able to provide any explanation or justification, of any kind, despite having been quick in the past to comment and arrogantly advocate the many ways in which they consider Gibraltar to be prosperous and successful. <br /><br /> Again, to those anons I ask the following: In your opinion why have the GSD lost the majority of the electorate's support as indicated in the Panorama poll? (the accuracy of which has already been established and generally agreed upon)<br /><br />I agree with your assessment that the GSLP will need more than new credible candidates in order to definitely succeed (despite the fact that it seems that the majority of Gibraltarians would rather vote for the GSLP as opposed to the GSD at the time of the Panorama election poll a little over a week ago) but it is my personal belief that with a strong and credible line-up (made up of new as well as existing faces), that the GSLP will be a reinvigorated party prepared to introduce sound policy based on the momentum they have recently been gathering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-50019280092762712842011-03-03T19:11:55.853+01:002011-03-03T19:11:55.853+01:00El special K este es el no va mas.
