RE:The PM has spoken...
What a joke!!! The GOM is what caused the TRQ share price to colapse and everyone except for the DONKs knows this. Also as Tinto takes a long view to its projects, the pricing offered in any deal for the GOM's 34% would refect this long view.
Although the number of people voting was low , the results were conclusive as polls takedn with far lower percentages are deemed conclusive. I suspect that the low turn out had more to do with people having little faith in the GOM. After being continually screwed and abused by the GOM, you can not blame the large segment in society that ignored the poll. It is also a very spread out country and so those living far from UB may not be overly aware of the poll resulting in a low partisipation rate.
The market also has not moved nearly as much as expected on this news because it is well known that the DONKS are only driven by their narrow blind ideology and do not care about the wants of the people as shown by the house speakers comments. For a lot of these politicians, getting elected means you get to play "Little Chengis" and this means that you are in charge and the will of the people matter not!!!.
The PM now has more morral authority than he ever had to move things forward but the DONKs are still pressent and will ensure obsticles with every move. It may take till the next election to really neuter the DONKs.
JMO As the games continue!!!
