This blog has been on my mind for a while and finally I decided to go ahead and get it started. What better point to start off than with the election in Jamaica at this time. After all the posturing and campaigning and all that goes with it, the Jamaicans abroad like myself have been trying to stay on top of the situation. The major newspapers dedicated some column inches to this and I will provide links to some below:
Sun-Sentinel - South Florida's Jamaican community tunes in to island's election
Sun-Sentinel – Editorial Jamaica's election is crucial to its future
The Miami Herald had some articles as well and The Associated Press reported in a Miami Herald article that Portia lost.
A couple media outlets with more Caribbean element to them reported on the election as well:
South Florida Caribbean News reports that groups of Jamaicans congregated in various locations to stay on top of the elections.
Hard beat News: Victory for JLP?
This election I believe opens some major doors about politics in the future. One Miami Herald article pointed out we can stay informed the world over due to the internet. Not only as a tool for campaigning but for informing Jamaicans abroad as well, the internet may just prove to be revolutionizing Jamaican politics.
