Election predictions

Hi, peoples. Sorry to have left you hanging in terms of the profiles but I wasn't well for a few days. Since time is against us and I have 18 candidates outstanding, I thought it would be easier for me to send you to the BLP and DLP websites to check out the candidates and I would do a bit of predicting on the outcome of tomorrow's elections.

Now, as I said before I'm no pollster or election pundit, nor do I owe any allegiance to any political party. I'm just a sucker for punishment with a blog. All predictions are just my gut feelings and based on feedback, but remember that the electorate can be very unpredictable and a large percentage of persons were categorised as 'undecided' in the polls. Also, we have to allow for any swing away from the incumbent BLP which might occur. If that happens, even the weaker DLP candidates might be elected.

Anyhoo, here're the 30 candidates and my predictions on the winners. We'll compare my list and the real thing on Wednesday. You can view the BLP candidates here and the DLP candidates here.

St. Peter - Owen Arthur (BLP)
