  1. How is St George a battle ground by virtue of simply having more registered voters? Just how is this the case when a person will win that seat by virtue of just getting the majority and that seat goes to the party they represent. Unlike the USA where electoral college votes are at play in each state which then impacts who become president, how on earth is the term battle ground becomes applicable to St George?

  3. Lets say Antigua & Barbuda has 100,000 people. 60% of that value is…wait for it…60,000 people. Now what percentage of the remainder is under the age of 18, hence cannot be registered to vote…and are non citizens…who just will NOT vote in their lifetime….

    soooo
