(We do have a Governor General who represents her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and is appointed by a special Gov't committee. SHE is fully bilingual (speaks fluent English 'n French), was born in Haiti, educated in Canada and is of the black culture. (We adore her.) <BR/>To date 'my' country however has had fourty elections and a total of twenty-two Presidents (some who have been relected).<BR/><BR/>CLASS is over!!!! Aren't you glad?

Thanks so much for sharing it with me. I found it really interesting.<BR/><BR/>(In our country Canada I am hoping some day they will adopt the way the Americans do it. Here we vote for a PARTY. The member candidates of the PARTY choose their Leader first, and IF they win their Leader becomes the Prime Minister of our country. (There are numerous Parties but only one Leader per party.) In our most recent election we had; the Leaders chosen this time around I feel were the deciding factors and to who won and who didn't.)<BR/><BR/>HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448232093136217051.post-35552884067811339212008-11-18T12:48:00.000-08:002008-11-18T12:48:00.000-08:00Hi my precious little Trinidadian (love that word)...Hi my precious little Trinidadian (love that word)...this was a great post!
