TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: PP face more difficulties
The ruling People’s Partnership (PP) and its main constituent party, the United National Congress (UNC) are going through a torrid time, with the UNC suffering its fourth electoral defeat this year in the St Joseph by-election. Some of the blame can be attached to the fall-out with former minister Jack Warner, who has been taking votes away from the ruling coalition with his Independent Liberal Party (ILP), but Warner has not made as much progress as he would have liked since his triumph in the Chaguanas West poll in July. The UNC and the PP now have 18 months to return to electoral favour before the next general election in 2015.
