Former prime minister of Jamaica  Edward Seaga was the longest person in parliament in history, he was prime minister for 45 years(1962-2005). He states that the most memeroble event of his political life was winning the 1980 General Election, the reason why Seaga states " "Because it changed Jamaica's history, and had it not been for that change I don't know where we may have been in terms of the future of this country," he said yesterday"

1980 will always be remembered for several other reasons, as it was regarded as the bloodiest election in Jamaica's history, and it probably marked the only the time the Jamaican electorate was ever faced with such a clear-cut ideological choice between socialism and capitalism.
