The parties were fiercely divided along ideological lines. The JLP won 51 of the 60 parliamentary seats. It was a devastating loss for Manley's People's National Party, which won the 1972 and 1976 elections in convincing fashion. The Election was held October 30, 1980. #Electio

The chart shows a dramatic shift: Jamaica went from one of the most engaged electorates in the Caribbe
