Jamaica: a new prime minister

As Girl with a Purpose reports, the governing Jamaica Labour Party was defeated in yesterday's general election, and People's National Party head Portia Simpson-Miller is Jamaica's new prime minister — “a leader whose educational background is not as brilliant as her competitors,” observes Abeni from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, “but one who has that something which draws people.”

    i am a jamaican, and i must say that jamaicans do not like discipline,because the jamaica labour party was trying to bring about some disclipine to them that is why they voted out the party.the people down there need some of the rules like what they have here in the u.s. they like to steal, take the money from the country on their personal business instead of making the country better. i love my country. but i love disclipine
