    Norman and Micheal Manley seemed to have been the best political leaders Jamaica has ever had.

    I am a little girl living in Cross Roads area and I remember that what Jamaica meant to me then was it was my home. Thanks for the interest in the two party system of the time. PNP headed by the national Hero

    I admire Norman Manley. Both he and Busta must have rolled in their graves after what leaders after them did to the country they fought so long and hard for, even to their last breath.

    He truly had great and ambitious ideas. It is a pity they did not come to fruition. To this day, the English-speaking Caribbean is not as united as it could have been. Imagibe if the federation were successful. I note that some issues here may have been reasons for the not so good relationship that followed between the islands. We missed a great opportunity.

    It wasn’t in the interest of England for the islands to form a federation because they would have lost much control over the resources of the islands. See how they and the US own so much of the islands resources and the people suffer great need and are forced to migrate for a better life.

    I find it interesting that the people in the urban areas were more favorable to the Federation idea compared to the rural folk, and I think that Norman Manley's explanation has a lot of merit to it, even though I am sure that the rural folks would probably take exception to his view and may even see it as condescending.....

    I have just watched this video for the first time and feel a certain amount of anger and disbelief. How on earth were Norman Manley and Bustamante made National Heroes?

    This would have been helpful when I was at the Mona campus in late 90 s doing a paper on “was Federation a pipe dream”?

    The People's National Party Should be dubd ' The Humblest Movement Ever'.

    When he didn't join the federation was a big mistake to this day
