1984 Caymanian general election

General elections were held in the Cayman Islands in November 1984.[1] The ruling Unity Team led by Jim Bodden lost all eight seats due to a scandal over Caymanian banks being used to launder drug money.[1] The opposition Dignity Team of Benson Ebanks won three seats in the Legislative Assembly, but the majority (nine) were won by independents.[2] Ebanks subsequently became Chief Minister after forming a coalition.[2]

gollark: Ah.
gollark: What? The only information I can find on rwasa is some random politician.
gollark: (also I may eventually want to use ARM)
gollark: On the one hand I do somewhat want to run osmarksforum™ with this for funlolz, but on the other hand handwritten ASM is probably not secure.
gollark: > Well, the answer is a good cause for flame war, but I will risk. ;) At first, I find assembly language much more readable than HLL languages and especially C-like languages with their weird syntax. > At second, all my tests show, that in real-life applications assembly language always gives at least 200% performance boost. The problem is not the quality of the compilers. It is because the humans write programs in assembly language very different than programs in HLL. Notice, that you can write HLL program as fast as an assembly language program, but you will end with very, very unreadable and hard for support code. In the same time, the assembly version will be pretty readable and easy for support. > The performance is especially important for server applications, because the program runs on hired hardware and you are paying for every second CPU time and every byte RAM. AsmBB for example can run on very cheap shared web hosting and still to serve hundreds of users simultaneously.
