Same kind of inanity on UNC’s YouTube channel btw. Caption on a live video of the Local Government Minister’s moving of a bill includes this line lol: “Parliament lists Minister Ameen as the member introducing the Bill and moving its next stage during the sitting.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Lj...

Watch The Honourable Khadijah Ameen, MP for St. Augustine and Minister of Rural Development and Local Government, lead debate on the Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Bill, 2026 during the 11th Sitting of the House of Representatives, 2nd Session of the 13th Republican Parliament on Wednesday 7 October 2026. Parliament lists Minister Ameen as the member introducing the Bill and moving its next stage during the sitting.
The legislation forms part of the Government’s local government agenda and deals directly with Trinidad and Tobago’s municipal corporations and local governance framework.

pretty insane to be using (I assume) AI to such an extent that your account regularly posts inane things like: “Parliament lists Persad-Bissessar as the current Prime Minister and Member of Parliament for Siparia.” www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Screenshot of a post from the Facebook account of Kamla Persad-Bissesar:

Watch The Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC, MP for Siparia and Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, contribute during the 11th Sitting of the House of Representatives, 2nd Session of the 13th Republican Parliament. Parliament lists Persad-Bissessar as the current Prime Minister and Member of Parliament for Siparia.

Follow the Prime Minister’s contribution as Parliament debates proposed changes to Trinidad and Tobago’s local government structure, municipal representation and the delivery of services to communities.

Under this bill, a state can waive certifying the project complies with federal standards, which both *forces the federal agency to treat that as being certified* and *can't be challenged in court*. So Virginia can just waive reviewing data centers fucking up the water supply.

Text from the BAAJA:

If a certifying authority grants a certification appli21 cation or if a certifying authority waives the certification requirement for a certification application, the agency with jurisdiction over the Federal license... shall consider water quality requirements satisfied for the purpose of considering the application"

Also from the BAAJA:

"A waiver of the requirement for a certification under this section shall not be subject to judicial review"

if this passes, then, regardless who voters choose as their councillors, parties will be able to remove a councillor anytime they feel the need and replace them with another party member democracy eh? www.ttparliament.org/wp-content/u...

“(1A) For the purpose of subsection (1)(g), a Councillor or Alderman is deemed to have resigned from, or been expelled by, the party to which the Councillor or Aldermen was a member at the time of the election or appointment, as the case maybe, where -

(a) a written notice of resignation, signed by the Councillor or Alderman, as the case may be, is delivered to the party; or

(b) a written notice of expulsion, issued by the party, is served upon the Councillor or Alderman, as the case may be,

and a copy of such notice, certified by the party, is delivered to the Chief Executive Officer.

Would be wholly against Data Protection laws. The FOI Act is applicant blind and the identity of the requester should typically not be considered at all by the responding authority, never mind shared to a third party.

"Suggest you google this guy" Manchester City Council responded to my 2013 Freedom of Information request for details of their deal with Manchester City by flagging my background to City's chief communications officer. Deeply inappropriate (and that's being generous).

everyday I read something so incredibly stupid: what does it matter if a local government election ends in a “tie”? why does that situation need to be prevented 🤨

On August 1, Guardian Media’s political column reported that Government was looking to increase the number of corporations from the current 14 to 17 to prevent a tie in the upcoming Local Government election. UNC officials had cited ongoing work by the party examining trends and boundary changes.

like the 2nd paragraph implies, calypso would naturally be a medium for commentary on the fortunes of the West Indian team (which itself is also intertwined to self-determination of the various isles)

if the committee appointed to review corporation boundaries produced a report which led to the new bill proposing these changes is the committee’s report going to be laid in parliament?
