The first thing they have to do about the Carnival in Trinidad is make it mandatory that all bands cross the stages Downtown and in the Savannah, failure to comply should be made to pay a hefty fine, you just cannot have bands boycotting the main stages.

The last paragraph in Mark Lyndersay article says it all.
Classism is at the core of all ills that T&T faces today, the VIP, ORDINARY VIP and ULTRA VIP is taking our country to the cleaners. THE SAD TALE OF A ONCE BLESSED PLACE.
