Voodoo politics
Unlike Jamaican rum, the proof for numerology is zero:

Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller made a very big deal of playing on the number 7 in her July 8 announcement of August 27 as the date for Jamaica's next general elections, called by her, Jamaica's seventh prime minister.

Of course, we Americans know better than to have silly mumbo-jumbo in our politics.

We just have two slates of major-party candidates with religious advisors and gushing claims of "faith." 'Cause we're so much more sophisticated.
