Let’s start by the people electing the prime minister, leader of the country, not his political party. The judicial system is headed by a Supreme Court with both primary and. There are other changes, like an elected Senate, that will enhance Jamaica’s democracy but I believe that gradual change will be wise. Following the elections, Holness was appointed prime minister and sworn in on. Does this means he answers to his party not the people? So long as he serves his area and not the nation, he can remain prime minister since he was elected by a small portion of the populace. The most powerful person in government was not chosen by the people but chosen by his political party. Remember he was elected as an area representative but the support of the majority of area representative made him prime minister. The prime minister in the Westminster system can decide who becomes a minister of government, not the people. It is no wonder that prime ministers in this system make decisions that is best for the party. The leader of government in this system is chosen by the party, not the people in general. He succeeded Bruce Golding as prime minister, and decided to go to the polls in the 29 December 2011. Holness previously served as prime minister from October 2011 to 5 January 2012. The election showed me how the Westminster system encourages people to vote for party rather than the best suited candidate. Andrew Michael Holness, is a Jamaican politician who has been the Prime Minister of Jamaica since 3 March 2016, following the 2016 Jamaican general election. I expected him to win because the narrative he told was optimistic and urgent.
As Boris Johnson won the election in the United Kingdom, it made me think of the need for Jamaica to elect its prime minister directly.
