Just had a big dream that the ruling APRC party won the September 22nd election. From my dreams APRC polled 56% of the vote, ARC 35, and NADD 9%. The beach party behind the State House is happening very shortly. Congratulation President Jammeh for the victory. God bless Gambia.

Fortunately it's only a dream and not reality. |
Justice must be served as impunity brings more repression and corruption! |

| I also have a 'dream' that NADD won the election by 42% of the votes, APRC got 39% and ARC got 19%. Any marabouts to shed light on this 'dream'? |

A marabout ? A basic Freudian analysis will tell you that dreams are mere reflections of brain activities (conscious and subconscious) during your waking hours.They could be factual like Kekule's dream and discovery of the structure of the benzene ring , or fantasy .
Whether Jammeh will win (or not) as claimed by Ebra remains to be seen .
I look forward to Sept. 22 , 2006. |

| Hehehe, blackerberry having day dream. NADD and UDP coliation combine will not pull more than 45% of the vote. The reality is on the ground, only if you refuse to realise it. Is like looking at the river saying that it is a mountain. You will be very very disapointed on the 23rd September 2006. Halifa, Darboe, Hamat, Seedia, OJ, Waa and the old PPP SAMPURSANGS got to go and leave politics with younger generation. We need new system,new poltical parties and all these current political heads (opposition)have failed the nation and need to dissolve or ban. They will surely end up with the like of Sheriff Daba Dibba and Hassan's vanish GPP. |

EBRA:
You seem to be dismissing the opposition outright. Are you advocating for a one-party system in the Gambia ? What kind of "new system" are you calling for ? |

| I have been calling for national unity whereby the National assembly will comprise of equal representation of all political parties. In this case no party will dominate the house, and any bill that is not geared towards the national interest won't pass. The executive too to be decentralize in the same manner. The other option is the injection of younger generation into the politics and new parties form, whilst these present ones be ban. |

EBRA:
You have left me with more questions than answers , but thanks for your reply.
I wonder what happened to your concept of democracy (freedom of assembly) by saying that the present opposition parties should be banned.
You have not explained how you would achieve "equal representation of all the political parties" , or the decentralization of the executive. The electoral process maybe ? Most of the time the electoral process will create a national assembly dominated by one party (usually the ruling party). This is important for the president to be able to carry out his programs , but it also presupposes that the national assembly members are legislators independent of executive influence.
I am also curious why you think new opposition parties will succeed better than the existing parties. |

To answer your question with regards to the formation of new parties is that the current ones, have done more harm than good to each other thus bringing the voters at brink. So it will be difficult for them to win the heart of the voters. In the event of new parties with new faces comprising of intellectuals will surely bring difference.
I want to ask this question were does Kemeseng Stands at? My thinking is that he is there (NADD) for this paycheck. We have not heard from him about any role he play in bring the two opposing parties together. He never talk anything against Darboe or UDP. I think he should be expel from the party before he resigns and start castigating against them (NADD) |

Your avatar looks mean but lean in comparison to this,
Big and mean. You might consider changing to this:

EBRA:
You are killing me !You have not answered any of my questions , instead you are making more and more UNDEMOCRATIC STATEMENTS. Where did you get the power to issue a ban on any opposition party ? And who has the power on what basis to expel Kemesseng because in your perception he is not speaking against UDP ?
These are very reckless utterances that demonstrates complete ignorance of democratic civilization.
No wonder your DREAM ! |

| Kayjatta, I was busy with exams and was unable to respond to your comments lately. Am entitle to my opinions like anyone else. So if you think my opinions are undemocratic, then show me what democracy is. Let me assure you that there is no real democracy anywhere. It is base on one's conceptual beleive. Citizens go by the constitution of the state without endorsing/approving for its contents, and hence those laws are enforce forcifully on them you think thats real. Haven't you heard or seen NAM been fired/expelled from the political parties they belong to when their performance is below standard. Being in USA does not mean you Kayjatta knows more than anyone else. Let me assure you that am confident in myself that, I am expose to the current global situations more than you. Maybe you see my location as Gambia thinking that am those guys whose thinking capacity is as remote as yours. I maybe your neighbour pursuing my careers in USA. If you think my statements are undemocratic then I will surely act undemocratic on you. Please do come up with any country as an example of democractic state, then I will prove to you that it has its own loopholes, and hence no real democracy exist. |

Ebra :
Thanks for your response , although very much colored by your emotions. I have a tendency to withdraw when my opponent has come to lose all sense of what he is saying.However , I have to clarify a few points here.
ONE:The fact that you are entitled to your opinion oes not make your opinion correct. That is why you need to appreciate others critique your opinion . To refuse that is fool-hardy.
TWO:The fact that there may be no "PERFECT DEMOCRACY" anywhere does not also mean that democracy does not exist.This is the kind of STRAIGHT LINE thinking that some people mistakenly do.There are standards that must exist in any democracy , however such : freedom of speech , freedom of press , freedom of assembly , freedom of religion,equal rights under the law , separation of powers and others.
THREE: In a democratic state the constitution is never forced down the throat of citizens. "WE THE PEOPLE" have to approve it before it becomes the supreme law of the land.The fact that a NAM can be fired from a political party demonstrates how sick Gambia's democracy is. And you want to congratulate Jammeh for winning again ?
FOUR:I don't have a clue where in the world you are , and I don't really know you , although I have seen some attempt in your writings to reveal your identity . It is sufficient for me to view everyone in the light of ALVIN TOFLER 's modal man (if you know what I mean ?).But there are three important ways to know about people: how they dress , how they talk , and how they write.
If you think I am attacking , then you have missed the whole point my friend. I AM CHALLENGING THE WRITINGS AND OPINIONS OF AN ANONYMOUS WRITER. |
