Why pick on Tivoli? We have been selecting PMs since the dawn of modern JA using the very system that you berate. The Westminster model may not be perfect but it has within it checks and balances to prevent the results you fear. It is up to the people to speak their mind in a GE and that decision should not be made by 'foreigners.'

It is this model that has to be changed before you can talk about giving diasporans the vote. A federal system like the U.S. system is more flexible and amenable to extending the right to vote to overseas Jamaicans. The reason is that grassroots representation for seats in Parliament would then be the exclusive right of residents.
