Side By Side They Stand: The People's Partnership and the PNM Manifestos (2010)

Submitted by Taran Rampersad on Fri, 05/14/2010 - 14:22

Finally, with the People's Partnership Manifesto out, we can stand both manifestos side by side.

The People's Partnership Manifesto is available here (3 megabytes)- it was just released today.

The People's National Movement Manifesto is available here (20 megabytes). It was released earlier this week.

[Update: 2007 manifestos that Edmund Gall posted can be  found here.]

That said, I've already skimmed both manifestos and I know that at KnowTnT.com we'll have some commentary on the manifestos.

My first comment: While the People's Partnership got their manifesto up later and didn't upload at the launch as they claimed on the UNC website, they did manage to make their web manifesto more manageable to deal with. Size on the web matters, and being more than 6 times less the size of the PNM Manifesto, it demonstrates a level of technical competence that should be taken for granted in a modern society.

Maybe the people's national movement are not the demonic obeah people they are being hailed to be these days. Maybe they have a purpose.
