Poll: Premier John John and other possibilities
(CNS): Tomorrow, voters go to the polls to elect their constituency representatives, but once that’s done, they must then sit back and wait to see what kind of government emerges from the horsetrading that follows. The only thing that most people agree on is that it’s unlikely that a single party will emerge with enough […]
CINP, PPM, TCCP or a Box of Frozen Squid
(CNS): In October 2011, CNS conducted a straw poll about which political group its readers would vote for at the next elections: the PPM, the UDP or a Box of Frozen Squid. The UDP is no more, but we still have the PPM plus two fresh new parties. So we thought we’d try this again […]
