And in narrowly regaining East Rural (which stretches from the suburbs to Blue Mountain Peak), Damion Crawford becomes the first ever rasta MP. No, not the first MP to wear his hair in braids, that's apparently been done before - the first MP to identify his religious affiliation as Rastafarian.

I'm not normally one to gloat at a foreign election result, but it is nice to see the homophobic party go down hard. Not that I expect popular attitudes will change in Jamaica.

They both are, really. Portia's statement in the debate was a bit of a bombshell. Traditional rastas certainly would have been not amused. Heh. Some people are wary of Portia because she has borne no children.

I think it's good that while the PNP won each area, they did not win by much. The Opposition is healthy and strong and that's how it should be in a democracy.

How can there be a Rastafarian MP? Wouldn't that be the same as a Jehovah's Witness MP?
