Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow.

Ramdaye: Aaa, aah, aah, aah that was serious mayhem! It never occurred to us that Mayor Mossi would violently disrupt our meeting. The message is now very clear: he will not allow any meeting to discuss his ouster,

Seymour: It certainly was. The hooligans were very brutal. (Demonstrating) But I drew my gun and refused to run away. I dared them to touch me!

Ted: One of them aimed a rock at my head. I never though anybody could handle such a huge stone. It flew past my head like a rocket-propelled grenade. It missed my head by the thickness of a pig's bristle!

Seymour: (Looking at Hon. Ramdaye) I was shocked you could run as you did, at your age! You whizzed past me like an express train! I never thought you would ever come to a stop!

Ted: I doubt they were just hooligans.

Seymour: Yes, their organisation and speed suggest there is more than meets the eye. It was like a military operation.

Ted: And there was smoke all over: burning tyres, papers, mattresses and sacks, combined with tear gas smoke. Sadly, we never anticipated this. I think the Mayor is a good organiser.

Ramdaye: He is called Mossi-oa-Tunya, the smoke that thunders! He is a master schemer and a go-getter!

Seymour: It is very clear that we at war. We need to carry on with our plan, to the last detail. We will not be cowed! We must mobilise the entire Municipal Council to pass the no confidence motion against him.

(Looking at Hon. Ted) And, to get down to business, you remember we tasked you to talk to Councillors and Aldermen and assess whether they will support the no confidence motion.

Ted: Yes, you did, and as you know, our political landscape comprises Councillors and Aldermen of mixed ethnicity as well as those of the Afro and Indo descent.

Ramdaye: Oh, yes, it does. So?

Ted: I was on the phone almost all night and very little support was forthcoming. I assumed wrongly that we could whip up racial and class prejudice to get many of them to support us. How mistaken I was! After talking to them, I realised that our chamber members are of different categories that we must keep in mind even as we seek to woo them to support our cause.
