I've been reading a lot of comments online about the elections and the feelings of those who post
comments.
Many have not yet realized the importance of the elections and many don't seem to know the
changes that have come about.
Many are still talking about who will be in power and who will not be in power.
This last part is the sad part.
WE, the PEOPLE are the ones with the POWER and WE must NEVER relinquish that POWER.
WE voted for 15 Parliamentarians to represent US. It is the hope that all 15 will do so, whether
from the opposition benches or not. When WE believe that WE are not represented properly, WE must tell them. They will make mistakes, because they are human and we could forgive them.
There are many ways that WE can bring them all in line. The question is, will WE be ready and willing to do so, when the time comes. Will WE continue to see things through the eyes of politicians or will WE tell the politicians what WE see.The Parliamentarians are there to work for our Country, for US.

A few years later, I suggested another improvement to the system and I repeat that suggestion,
because I believe that change is necessary. http://www.simadom.com/crowpoems/basicidea.htm
We are heading to Country status and we should not be represented by someone 'brought along' by others.
Let those who get the most votes overall be the elected ones.
This gives a small party like the CPA a chance to get a seat in the future and gives a voice to those
who share its views.
I believe this can lead to building a stronger Country St. Maarten in the future.
Blessings to all.
