Someone issued a fatwa without a war plan! Any guesses...The UDP! Now they have to live with the consequences. The UDP thought that a magical Esquivel TV endorsement would overcome Mayor Moya's ground war and television campaign. They were sorely mistaken and now the rogue councillors, Manuel, Boots and the others have to eat some humility. They have to live with democracy.
It can't be said that the Moya win was a product of Southside roots. Mr. Michael even lost in Caribbean Shores and Freetown which are the bastions of the middle class. So, she had solid base....a base that was loyal to her and willing to punish her detractors.
Furthermore, in my humble opinion, the only thing that the voters hate more than a thief is a traitor. So sure Moya was a thief, but Michaels was a traitor. He showed no political loyalty and he paid the price for that...and he wants a division now? Pu-leeze! If he can't handle a damaged Moya, how would he be able to handle a Fonseca or a resurgent Jorge?
So the next general elections might be closer than we all think. If the Espats can gain control of the new PUP and if the UDP continue to self destruct, then the PUP might be closer to regaining control than anyone believes.. The writing in on the wall. If the UDP can't beat back a mayoral candidate, then.....well, we must all calibrate those conclusions.
Finally a note to all Representatives, please don't go sit outside Jules' offices with your personal bank account statements in the belief that because you spent $30,000 that month and only have $1800 left that you are not taking illegal money. Think about it people, these are the people leading our country and they can't even make decent decisions about their own lives.
One can only shake your head with the absurdity of Belizean politics.

talking about General Elections at this moment is too early
She didn win, PUP made her win. Nobody noticed how many PUP's were voting? its best for them... come election time, nobody will want Moya back in City Council.
Look first...it is never too early for national elections...
Secondly...PUP didn't make moya win...in fact the turnouts from the strongest PUP divisions (albert etc) was very low...the UDP gambled badly (just like the PUP before them). Sometimes we just have to face the fact that politicians do stupid things.
The UDP should quit blaming the PUP for everything (moya win, garbage etc) and get on with the job of governing. Paranoia is not good.
Do you know who is going to run against Moya?...from an insiders point of view I can assure you that person is just a token effort.
Why would the PUP want to bring down the best doer of all bad things UDP so early...you gotta give her time to really mess things up :^)
Agreed with annonymous...the PUP made her win.
Everything is not a PUP conspiracy. If you believe that it is then you are giving the PUP more credit than they need...I am sure they will gladly take it though
