TRINIDAD-POLITICS-Opposition plans to vote against new proportional representation legislation
Sep 03, 2013
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The main opposition People’s National Movement (PNM) said it would vote against legislation to introduce proportional representation in Trinidad and Tobago, and has accused the coalition People’s Partnership government of “naked political expediency”.
PNM and Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley, speaking on television here Monday, said opposition legislators would not support “this sleight of hand” strategy by the Kamla Persad Bissessar led government.
Rowley said the opposition would vote against the Local Government Reform bill that comes up for debate on Friday and accused the government of seeking to undermine local government bodies even before its members are elected by the population.
