RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Elections Prelim Results UPSETIn all seriousness, lets hope PPP wins. If APNU/PNC wins, this could be scary for Guyana. When you read about the history of the country and what the founder of PNC (now APNU) did to the people of Guyana, it's inhumane -- he was a dictator, see this link:

Read the section on "Socialist Nationalization". If his are the same ideology that runs in the current APNU party, then this country could become communist/Socialist. Companies such as Guyana Goldfields, CGX Energy and any others with large scale operations there will need to get clarity from this new government before investing any more money there.
Not picking on CGX Energy, just realize that if APNU wins the election, you need to get clarity on what their policies are for foreign investments. The last thing anyone wants is investing their money to develop a mine or oil production and then have the government tax it heavily or nationalize it. Given that the GDP of this country is so small, the mine that GUY is going to build would easily make GUY the biggest single GDP contributor, now imagine if in 2014/2015 CGX starts oil production, what % of Guyana GDP would that represent? These companies being such a big spotlight in the country will surely be know by everyone and the government. So if APNU does indeed win, please try and get clarity as to what their policies are for foreign investments.
