In a comment on last week’s Future Notes, Mr. Mike Persaud said, ‘we need a Constitutional Reform idea that would trend or move the people away from this over-racialized politics’, and then asked ‘Any ideas on this question, … Jeffrey?’ He then proceeded to suggest an idea: ‘I have proposed that we should go back to elect authentic candidates from each of 53 Electoral Districts (EDs) – they must run for seats in the parliament w/o endorsements from parties. They must be held accountable to their constituents. This should at once reduce heavy racial voting. And, it will reduce the intensity of the nation’s ethnic politics by 50%. The other 50% will be addressed by racial parity laws – let the power of law do the rest.’ I am not certain what precisely is meant by over-racialised politics, how Mr. Persaud came to the conclusion that his suggestion would reduce the intensity of ethnic politics by 50%, what racial parity laws he will devise to reduce the other 50%, how he plans to arrive at such laws, etc. etc.
