PR feels like IRL Revachol sometimes. The NPP the article mentions is by far the dominant party because of brain drain, half of the gen X people who’d vote for the feckless lib colonialist PDP left the island years ago. But the NPP is currently on a crusade to privatize our energy infrastructure as thoroughly as they can, and the party is split according to which American company they want to sell to. The winning candidate, JGO, is a corrupt POS Republican aligned bootlicker who has spent, to my knowledge, grovelling at the feet of gringo overlords, and wants to sell generation off to Genera PR (only transmission and distribution were privatized previously under LUMA Energy).

But to make matters worse, the left is extremely weak and made up almost entirely of students. The brain drain problem means that even though some people grow up in radicalizing conditions, they just leave to Florida where they’re drowned out by gusanos anyway. Bleak stuff.
