The Cayman Islands had an election yesterday, viewed as a judgement on the performance of the People’s Progressive Movement (PPM) which won in a landslide in the 2005 elections there.
The public was obviously unimpressed as the Opposition United Democratic Party (UDP) took a commanding position in the polls (with more than 80% turnout), while voters largely rejected the wide array of independent candidates.
Cayman also yesterday passed a separate referendum on a new draft constitution that features some “modern” features missing from Bermuda’s own, reinforcing the checks and balances of local government.
