EVERY election year, political parties, whether large or small, use their platforms to tell the public of their visions for Trinidad and Tobago, their plans and their policies.

This year is no different with 17 political parties contesting the April 28 general election.

Immediately after Prime Minister Stuart Young announced a snap election on March 18, candidates for TT’s two major parties, the PNM and the UNC, along with several smaller parties, took to the podiums on the 40-day campaign trail.
