The second session of the eighth parliament convened at the House of Assembly this morning with a number of bills tabled for approval.
But before the debate could start, the Opposition United Workers Party, in their usual grand style, walked out of the proceedings.
They did that moments after Danny Lugay was sworn in as their new senator to replace Claudius Sanford who is studying overseas.
The Opposition members who refused to speak to the media following their walk-out say they would give an official statement at a press conference carded for 10:00 am Wednesday.
The UWP has staged walk-outs and has boycotted parliament since January 2010 based on their belief that the December 18, 2009 general elections were fraudulent. The party lost the elections by 18-3 to the incumbent Dominica Labour Party.
Meantime Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says the Opposition is once again demonstrating a lack of interest in the country’s development.
He said parliament has not been able to appoint several committees as a result of the unavailability of the Opposition.
“We have not been able to appoint the parliamentary committees. A very important institution of the parliament which is the Public Accounts committee cannot be appointed because the constitution says the leader of the Opposition shall be the chairman. We would love to have that committee to ensure that there is accountability. The international community is saying that it is unfortunate that we have not been able to appoint that committee. We have our members waiting,” he said.
He continued, ““We have an opposition, Madam Speaker,who come here and talk about integrity, accountability, and transparency and so forth, but who have not said to the House, to the clerk of the House…and say ‘look with all fairness, we have not worked for the salary that we’re getting. And therefore as a matter of principle we shall not accept the money.”
I DONT WISH TO ANNOY NYONE BUT I AM DOMINICAN THEREFORE I HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK ON ANY ISSUE AFFECTING MY NATION. THIS IS MY LITTLE TWO PENCE ON THIS ISSUE. 1. THE MATTER OF THE LEGALITY OF PM SKERRITT’S ELECTION IS WAITING DECISION. IF YOU TAKE A MATTER TO THE COURT THEN YOU MUST WAIT FOR THE COURTS DECISION YOU CANNOT DECIDE IT IS ILLEGAL LIKE YOU ARE THE JUDGE. DO YOUR WORK UNTIL THE DECISION. IN THE EVENT THE DECISION IS THAT PM IS ILLEGAL IN OFFICE AND HE DOES NOT DO AS THE JUDGE SAYS THEN YOU STAGE A WALK OUT ETC, ETC. I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT. 2. IF YOU TALKING ABOUT INTERGRITY THEN YOU MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT IN YOUR OWN LIFE AND SO YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT PAY FOR NON APPEARCNE TO WORK. 3. IF YOU SAY THAT THE PARLIAMENT IS ILLEGALLY CONSTITUTED THEN WHY COME INTO THE ILLEGAL PARLIAMENT AND APPOINT A SENATOR DOESN’T THAT MAKE THE SENATOR ILLEGALLY APPOINTED? HOW CAN IT BE LOGICAL TO TAKE A MAN TO COURT FOR ALLEGE DUAL CITIZENSHIP AND THEN YOU, RON GREEN HAS BEEN A DUAL CITIZEN FOR YOUR ENTIRE POLITICAL LIFE. RON GREEN SINCE ADMITTING THAT HE WAS A DUAL CITIZEN ALL HIS POLITICAL LIFE MUST, I REPEAT, MUST REPAY ALL THE MONIES HE COLLECTED AS AN ILLEGAL MP AND MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT. ON THE OTHER HAND PM AND PEPPER MUST REMAIN IN THEIR POSITIONS UNTIL THE COMPENTENT AUTHOURITY, THE HIGH COURT, DETERMINES THE CASE AGAINST THEM. 4. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN HECTOR JOHN OF SALISBURY WHO CONTINUES TO EMBARASS THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE OF THAT AREA, HE IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF VOTES. IF I WAS IN HIS POSITION I WOULD BE SHOWING MY SUBSTANCE IN PARLIAMENT PENDING THE OUTCONE OF THIS CASE SO THAT I COULD BE VOTED OVRALL AND THE ONLY LEADER OF THE UWP AND MY PERFORMANCE IN PARLIAMENT WOULD ATTRACT NATIONAL SUPPORT FOR ME AS A SUITABLE ALTERNATIVE PM IN THE EVENT THE PRESENT PM FALLS IN HOT WATER. FINALLY, HECTOR JOHN SEEMS TO HAVE PUT HIS OWN PROTOCOLS IN PLACE TO CONTACT GOVERNMENT MINISTERS, WRITTING TO A MINSTER THROUGH PARLIAMENT. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE YOUNG FB GENIUS HAS BNO IDEA HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. ONE CANOT WRITE TO A MINSTER THROUGH PARLIAMENT. YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS OF A MINISTER IN PARLIAMENT BUT TO DO SO YOU MUST PARTICIPATE IN PARLIAMENTARYBPROCEEDINGS WHICH YOU ARE BOYCOTTING. THE MINISTER DOES NOPT HAVE AN OFFICE IN PARLIAMENT THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE DOES AND SHE IS THE ONE ONE CAN WRITE TO. A MINSTER OF GOVERNMENT HAS JIS PERSONAL SECRETARY AND ALSO HIS PERMANENT SECRETARY AND THAT IS HOW ONE CONATACTS A GOVERNMENT MINISTER. IF HECTOR JOHN HAD SPENT SOME TIME IN PARLIAMENT HE WOULD HAVE LEARNT THIS LITTLE PROTOCOL BY THEN. HOWEVER, A LITTLE THING LIKE PRODUCING A COPY OF THAT LETER WOULD CERTAINLY PROVE HIS CASE BUT CALLING THE PM A LIAR IS CHILDISH AND THAT MEANS THAT HJ IS WORST THAN THE PM AND UNSUITABLE FOR THE OFFICE HE NOW HOLDS. HOW CAN YOU NOT TAKE PART IN PARLIAMENT BECAUSE YOU SAY AFTER THE OBSERVERS GAVE THEIR REPORT, YOU UWP STILL SAY IT WAS NOT A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION, BUT YOU WANT TO CONTACT AN ILLEGALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT MINISTER THROUGH NON EXISTING CHANNELS TO MAKE REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF YOUR PEEOPLE BUT YOU REFUSE TO ENTER THE WORK PLACE THE HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT TO DO SO. THIS IS UTTER RUBBISH AND MNUCH TO CONFUSING FOR ME. UWP HAS CERTAINLY LOST THIER WAY. LET ME SAY THAT I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY CORRUPTION SO ONCE COPRRUPTION IS PROVEN THE GUILTY PARTY MUST PAY OK, BUT IT MUST BE PROVEN ALLEGATIONS CANNOT STAND IN COURT ALLEGATION IS NOT EVIDENCE AND A MAN IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.NOW THIS IS MY TWO PENCE I INVITE FEEDBACK FROM ALL BLOGGERS PLEASE. I AM DOMINICA ARE YOU???
UWP WALKED OUT ITS RIDICULOUS. THESE GUYS ARE
NOT EASY. THIS BEHAVOR IS UNBELIEVEABLE.
WALKED OUT AGAIN. ITS REALLY A USUAL GRAND
STYLE. DON’T PAY THEM THIS TIME.
Mr Green Looking like a vagrant there wi boi….lol..
labour supporters stupid eh. de way dey talking is like dey will die if uwp not it de house.lol. allyu missing workers in d house more than workers supporters wi alas.lol. i believe that is de man dat steering d boat and de crew we need cast eyes on cause dey determining our direction so while u dere giving de janitor for your room hell about how he not clean and he lazy de captain heading for de reef meanwhile the band continues to play. who have understanding will learn while fools perish and just because i know dat there will be fools let me just enlighten u by saying the government affects your day to day living more than the minor disenfranchised opposition that we have. its like u crushing ants while a man with a gun infront of u waiting to rob u focus on where it matters and as to the foolish premise that they recieving pay let me say that a lot of people getting pay for nothing such as productivity consultants and board members with no clues, additional advisors not to mention the chronically dependent on handouts.lol.
lololOLOLOLloloLL ESPECIALLY BOARD MEMBERS OF STATUTORY CORPORATIONS LOLOLOLOL GOOD OBSEVATION REAL!!!! THE EDUCATED FOLKS WILL KNOW WHERE TO LOOK TO “GET” THE JOKE!
WHAT ALL YOU EXPECT FROM UWP. THEY HAVE NO MANIFESTO SO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO TELL THE PEOPLE. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE. I HAVE A PLAN FROM LABOUR AND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT YET DELIVERED, IT GIVES ME HOPE. I CANT SAY THAT FOR THE OPPOSITION.WALKING OUT IS A COWARD MOVE TO HIDE BEHIND THEIR INEFFICIENCY.
I don’t really think that UWP interested in electoral reform. Lately it has all been about removing Skerrit. Well, in my mind, the best way to remove Skerrit is to get people to vote against Labour (not against Skerrit, against Labour). So my friends in the UWP, you have three years to convince the Dominican people that there is a better choice, that there is a better group of leaders. Who are they? Where are they? All Dominicans seeing is Labour. Show us a better way and as democratic citizens we will vote for the better way. It always works my friends. Guaranteed.
UWP have done a real disservice to the people and their supporters…
They are just a shadow of the UWP that won the election in ’95…
Right now Skeritt just has to stay silent, sit back, and watch the UWP self-destruct…
The UWP are doing a fine job destroying themselves…
NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU AND OTHER UWP SUPPORTERS, WHO RUN FROM DISCUSSIONS, TO SUBMIT LONG AND CONTINUOUS COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF YOUR PARTY BUT YOUR COMMENT IS EMPTY CAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. PLEASE RE-SUBMIT SOMETHING THAT CAN ATTRACT SOME DISCUSS OK. LET ME HELP YOU DO SO: ON WHAT BASIS DO YOU SUPPORT THE UWP’S BOYCOTT OF PARLIAMENT BUT ENTER THAT SAME PARLIAMENT TO HAVE A UWP SENATOR TAKE HIS OATH? SUBMIT A COMMENT ON THAT PLEASE. STUPES.
Are they the only ones getting paid for no work in the public service. As a matter of fact they are working, they are doing their job, they are out there bringing the issues to the fore. I can’t do it, I do not have that kind of time to invest doing these things, so yes they are working.
You all are petty and just a bunch of people that keep repeating the crap that comes from these less than illiterates in Cabinet. How many of the cabinet members doing a proper job anyway. They sit in an office burning AC and making all kinds of long distance calls running up the phone bills. Then they jump on planes, get per diem, hotel, food and all kinds of shit. In addition they still make under the table deals. That is alot of work isn’t it?
You people need to stop this foolishness about getting paid and staying out of the house. Do you think that these 3 people in the house will make any difference. They will be mocked, harrassed, laughed at and trampled on by the speaker. This cannot be anything but a frustrating waste of time process.
We need to join hands with the opposition to demand electoral reform, less we become another Libya. You all think that this is some type of joke going on.
I am not too sure if you all do not understand what parliament is about, they eyes always have it and 3/4 of the country do not care for what is going on in there, it makes no sense. Gone are the days when politicians had some balls, that a politician irrespective of what side he/she is would stand up for what he/she thinks is right….gone are those days.
I say I will pay all you bonus at the end of the year, do not go back to the house until Skerrit fix the electoral process!!!!
Spoken like a true jackass! How can you in good conscience say that the PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATIVE is doing his job when the PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATIVE is giving NO REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT!! It irks me that Dominicans on both sides are so biased!
THE ELECTORAL PROCESS HAS BEEN THE SDAME SINCE INDEPENDENCE UWP WON ON THAT PROCESS AND SAW NOTHING WORTH FIXING.
I believe these guys have three more years to keep walking out,because the people of Dominica will not give them another chance to even smell the paliament again.So boys take your foot,enjoy your walking out,Idiots
FIFTH ROBBERY IN DA WITHIN EIGHT DAYS UWP
WALKED OUT GRAND STYLE. ACCEPTING A SALARY
WITHOUT WORKING. THIS IS REALLY CALL HIGH-
WAY ROBBERY
MR. GREEN LOOKS LIKE AN ANGRY LONE RANGER
WITH HIS POSTER.
At the end of the day. We need people to be safe and protected if they are ill or not! Where is a leader with charisma and character in the UWP!
Keep the fight going!! Walk OUT!! Walk OUT!!If skerrit and DLP is serious about accountability, transparency, true governance and democracy he would RESIGN!!! Too much crimes, victimization, cheating stealing and lying…You breaking the constittution night and day and u asking the opposition to sit at the table with you? DLP NEEDS TO GO!! THis has been the worst gevernance that Dominica ever experience…UWP needs to show them if it means 3yrs they will walk out…The money the oppposition get payed is peanuts compare to the work they are doing and the rights they are trying to protect…Keep walking OUT until some decency returns to our country…
UWP getting some good opportunities to expose Mr Skeritt and his double standardness and they just tossing it out by walking out. At a time when so many Dominicans are returning to celebrate babies they(UWP) gave birth to like, Creole in the Park and Creole Music Festival, instead of using this opportunity to remind Dominicans of what they did in 5yrs and how it is contributing in a meaningful way 11 yrs later, verses Skeritt who has done nothing to help the economy, those sort walking out.
Also when Skerritt has the gutts to quote the constitution when he said that the constitution says that the opposition leader shall be the chairman of the commitee, them man running? This is the same Skeritt that said that not even the constitution was able to prevent him from contesting the 2009+ elections and went on to do so many things that are unconstitutional. But instead of using this opportunity at list for once to expose the high level of hypocricy that exist in Da, those guys running out man.
To be fair and balance, as bad a leader as Skeritt is and as bad a government as the one we now have is, the lack of foresight to make timely decisions by the opposition (none bigger than when they rushed an election in 2000),sure looks like Dominica is going to sink with Skeritt because the opposition is not able to convince us that the are able to act wisely.
Where is TED…forot his last name
Wikileaks ;
Been engage with the IMF who is presently conducting the third review of our stand by agreement.
However , I will start my comment by asking clarity on the issue , becausing reading the comments and the statement from the PM i am not sure if the people are concerned that no opposition is in the house during the debates or the fact that the opposition is getting paid and not being present in house.
I am getting a sense that most of the comments is signalling that if the UWP decided not to accept payment then their absence would be justified. we certainly wouldn’t be having this debate today.
Moreover,
I would like to ask you wikileaks , that given the current structure of our governance system , how much can an opposition of such miniority assits the development of the country by going to parliament.
The system is set up that the “I” always have it which brings me to the question as to when was the last time in the history of our parliament did someone vote against a bill that was tabled by his/ her party.
You guys talking about going to parliament and direspecting paliament is so hypocitical. Isn’t it the same parliament who agreed for electoral reform. WHY you all not telling The PM to respect the mandate of the house and provide the necessary funds to the electoral commision to do the people work. ( oh i forgot No money. solution the supporters tha are not paying for their land in chance , zicack, portsmouth collect the money or let them know they are holding back the development of the country).
Isn’t this more significant than 3 men going to the house saying yeh or ney to something that they cannot impact because of lack of majority.
During , the last budget debate did any one from the government side had any objection to anything in the budget. ( NO )! Then what would be the effect if the 3 UWP memebers were present. They would get nothing change since they lack the majority. How does that add to our development.
On a different note how can one associate protesting and getting paid to robbing the tax payers money.
People like BUWO suprise me again . Seems like you all need to read about the Trade Unions movement throughout the region and their accomplishment.
Are you all saying when these unions conducted strikes , sick outs etc for better pay , working condition , allowances, holidays etc that we are enjoying today , the unions members were robbing the plantation owners, government , factory owners etc.
Like it or not the uwp action is called taking a stand in defence of the constitution ( though Ron may seems a bit hypocritical here but better late than never).
However, i firmly believe and hope that if the court rule in favour of the PM then The UWP members need to go to parliament even during the period of an appeal.
I am also sure that if the DLP had agreed for the electoral reform then things might have just been different.
By the way , Mr.skerit what was the most recent fiscal year statements to be Audited and submitted to the house and tabled before the public accounts committee. Just checking.
Creole in the park is only 9 years old!!!!
UWP was not there for Creole in the Park.
It was under Prime Minister Pierre Charles in 2002 that Mr. Ian Blanchard as Manager of Cable & Wireless that initiated Creole in the Park.
So UWP gave us WCMF that has never made a profit after 14 years and little economic benefits except for government purse and Lime gave us CITP under DLP which has allowed WCMF to limp along – otherwise it would have been dead already!!!!
Nothing under UWP has remained sustainable and that is true:
What happen to Chapeau Pie?
What happen to Afu a wi radio program?
What happen to Glo Barry?
What happen to the call by Mr. James for a kinder, gentler Nation? He self destroying his own works and all. SHAME
UWP remove the painting on the wall of the Treasury Building in Roseau to no longer remind people of May 29, 1979 boots on the ground and mini revolution that brought changes – positive changes to Dominica. Now he and UWP wants the first generation of Independent Dominican children to put boots on the ground with no history of how our parents saved Dominica. Today PJ is a saint in the eyes of young Dominican children.
Anonymous you said that WCMF has been around for 14yrs and has never made a profit. what you did not say is out of those 14 yrs, your government DLP has been in charge of WCMF for 11yrs and after 11years of something that brings nothing but a loss to the country, your government is not able to 1. Put plans in place to ensure that it brings a profit 2.Why continue with something that makes no profit? Does that not reflect on poor management and in that case, further exposes the inability of the goverment to plan?
But you took time to highlight what UWP did that has not worked but you forgot I guess to talk about or name at list one thing this current administration has put together that has the potential of bringing some cash to the country like UWP did with the WCMF. Did you forget to name one or you just cannot think of any?
me i fed up with dem bull de uwp doin right now cause they eatin my money and they aint doin s**** not goin to parliament and complaining of everyting alu not realizing skerrit dont worry with ALU DE MAN TELL ALLU ONE OF ALU TOUCH HIM AND ALU GO SEE AND NONE OF ALU NOT DEARING SO ALU AFRAID OF HIM THATS WHY ALU STAYING OUT OF PARLIAMENT BUT I PURE BULL S**T A BUNCH A IDIOTIC F((K))G FOOLS DE UWP
what type of sh** is that? you talk about fairness and accountability and its because of you that there is none. UWP can kick rocks with all this bullshit. HOW DO YOU CLAIM TO BE WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE YET U STEALING FROM THE PEOPLE WITH YOUR SALARIES AND NO WORK PUT IN. THIS IS THE WORST FORM OF ROBBERY I HAVE SEEN. ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THIS IS CLEARLY AN IDIOT.
TRUE SAY THEY SHOULD NOT GET PAY. YOU DON’T
WORK YOU DON’T SALARY IN THIER USUAL GRAND
STYLE.
what has the u w p achieve over the past years
Keep up the fight UWP for good governance and against the utter nonsense of this backward thinking government.
Are you call walking out of parliament “keeping up the fight?. This is certainly not a fight. A fight would be that the UWP stay in Parliament and put the DLP in their places, this is what a fight would be. What will they accomplish by walking out? absolutely nothing. You keep doing the same thing every time and expect to get a different answer, I don’t think so. And of course they are expected to get paid, absolutely rubbish regardless of how it is justified. They must remember “one good turn deserves another”. Wait until the shoe will be on the other foot, according to the calysonian WE GO SEE!!!!
UWP needs to be wise in their action. Right now they are losing all their supporters because of this nonsensical act. I think the people of Dominica have gotten the point they were trying to make, so it is time to move on. They should have at least attempted to ask some questions today to see if they would get some answers.
If they do not believe in parliament and the illegitimate government why did they attend to have Danny sworn in as a senator. I am considering reconsidering my support for that party. I mean honestly, when I have to think of voting for someone, how can I in good faith vote for a party who just stays out of parliament for so long. The party has nothing that I can see that is attractive. This is more than enough, this does not make any sense anymore. It is time to move on. Enough already. UWP, word of advice, you are losing the rest of supporters you have and you are not attracting new ones because the young voters are not seeing what the party is about. Come one.. wise up. We get the point but you are getting weaker every time you pull a stunt like this. and about that salary, how do you feel when you receive it? are you spending it or are you saving it to return it at the end of all this?
But what foolishness i reading dere naahh!! Who tell you UWP losing their supporters?….lol. That must be a figment of your imagination.
They are on the losing side in all ways you look at it. LOSERS
i fully back the UWP on their actions thats the way to go to get things done…
if elections arent fair the process of development and progress wont be fair..
dominicans are really wicked eh..look at some many people this regime has vitimise…
it was a fact that dominicans are ignorant..they just dont get it period and will be forever short changed…any kind of crumps and they happy for it what a shame…
lol @ regime..
OBVIOUSLY MAILER YOU ARE ALSO IGNORANT BECAUSE YOU SUPPORT BULLSHIT. HOW CAN YOU MAKE STATEMENTS ABOUT FAIRNESS AND PROGRESS WHEN YOU YOURSELF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HINDERING THAT SAME PROCESS. HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND WITH A STRAIGHT FACE STEAL FROM THE PEOPLE BY ACCEPTING A SALARY THAT YOU KNOW YOU HAVENT EARNED.
you won’t tell me how to think as a Dcan . If you say something is wrong and as such you’ll have no part to play in it , then you should be consistent . Why get into the arena which you claim is illegal , non-democrat and unfair ? now you participated is clear to all that (1) you either not sure about your decisions or (2) know fully well that the system is correct and you’re wrong about it . I think the UWP leaders need to come straight and just like the Gonzalez issue they used against mamo which led the Top to pay and admit he lied by apologizing to Mama on public media , they should do so now and swallow their pride quit like boys and be men say Dcans we fooled you all into pretending Dca is non-democratic . So forgive us . We will go back .
You said no reform no , Id’s no voting . You claim to be staging walkouts due to lack of democracy , and illegal election . What happened in Salisbury and Marigot ? who won? Was it legal elections held , did you have reforms then , were bus loads and plane loads of voters ? Was the electoral list cleared then ? Tell me if it good for goose i find it dam good for gander . You’ll participated in bi-elections which were free and fair , so you lose UWP your points on the card are null and void . According to your results democracy is present here in D/ca . go back to parliament , you and spragzz and , lugay , edo and chuckie , dam UWP fools .
UWP only put,s another nail to thier coffin by these folish acts,tell dem to whell an come again
UWP is continuing what the labour party started. Didn’t the labour party boycott (stayed out of) parliament for a number of years while in opposition? Check the hansad.
I am old enough and experienced enough to know that parliamentary proceedings is just a darn formality. Every opposition that I’ve known in my life time staged walk outs. Mike and Rosie Douglas did it during Eugenia days , Brian Alleyne, Rosie et all did it during Edison days and now Edison and Ron are now carrying the lamp. How many of us can honestly say that the opposition truly influence government decisions in parliament.
When the cabinet makes a decision most times not even all the members are on board or even know about it yet the matter goes to parliament with the full support of the government side – some blind folded
Who really is the opposition? Most Dominicans were against the state house even if some people pretend to be in agreement for partisan sake and the government knew that Dominicans by reasonable thinking could not support the construction of a state house particularly in this present time yet the government went ahead. If 18-3 gave them the right to ignore the masses then why cry about the foolish behavior of the UWP zenzens who really have no voting numbers to alter cabinet decision.
Do we really believe that if Hector John goes to parliament then the government will truly cast an eye on Salibury when in 18 other locations the people are much to ashamed to cry out – farm access in every district in Dominica is deplorable. When Edison and Ron were in power they exhibited the same level of arrogance . Many of us will remember the arrogant comment by Edison – “ We on the stage now”
It is time to stop being paper dolls and see beyond these politicians Red , Green or frigging Blue. It is time for us to WFU and stop being so F*888888888 stupid.
DNO ADMIN, Please delete this man…why is he posting with my screen name…UWP still not original, no ideas, nothing new…
Alas, not even a blog thay can come up with their own screen name
ADMIN: You are Wikileaks the other person is Wikileak….no S….there is a difference.
I mean after all, that is a low down damn shame man. Putting party politics aside, this is shameful. You guys are suppose to be learnt, ethical, patriotic men.
You guys are in the dawn of your careers and most probably your lives and this is the way you guys want to be remembered.
Magwaysah, all you attended Parliament just long enough to appoint another member, just to get another free salary and then walk out?
If that is not thievery, if that is not bobol, if that is not corruption, then I don’t know what is? I will repeat again, that one man, Mahatma Ghandi with a staff in his hand, brought down the mightiest colonial power (Britain), all by himself. There is nothing that the 3 of you could not accomplish if you all had the will.
Neg Bawi (Hector John), I sware to you my brudder that years from now, you will look back at this time period and you will regret and regret so bad. You will curse the names of these guys that you allowed to have control over you. This is the legacy that you are going to leave behind. And this is all that a man ever leaves behind, because flesh and bones rot away, but his legacy continues through generations. This will follow you the rest of your life, my brudder.
Weh boy, in all that dirtiness, Dominica and Dominicans are the losers….
I watchin’ still!!!
If it was not for a selected few Ghdafi would still be in power. The fought for the liberation of their people. A selected few in Dominica is fighting to uphold the constitution and we are bashing them. Why dnt we take some time off and read the constitution and determine if the laws were violated. Regardless of who the perpetrators are we should stand to withhold the law.
Would Dr Savarin be OK now if the hospital was efficient. Our Prime Minister if taken ill would go the hospital and he would also have to go out of Dominica to be treated. The Prime Minister is a good man so are the doctors and nurses but they have to have the right equipment, leadership and dedication. Please let’s all get a good hospital in Dominica!!
Dominica National Anthem!
Verse 3
Come ye forward, sons and daughters
Of this gem beyond compare
Strive for honour, sons and daughters
DO THE RIGHT, BE FIRM, BE FAIR
Toil with hearts and hands and voices
We must prosper! Sound the call
In which everyone rejoices
“ALL FOR EACH AND EACH FOR ALL”
UWP, please i’m paying my tax money and you not doing me right. You not for me and i for you… take note of the last verse of the national anthem.
You getting paid for nothing, that not right.. do the right thing, i think the ruling party has gotten your point already. Please do not disappoint me for the next session of Parliament.
MAYBE THE LAST VERSE IS ” EACH FOR ALL AND ALL FOR EACH”
I honestly thought Skerrit went to Gaddafi’s fenaral
Good job UWP keep it up! We the people approve!
shame,shame again. What then must the up coming politician think and do? Is this a joke? Men that are educated and to show the example, disrespecting the high house in such manner and still get paid for it. This is the kind of thing they are teaching we the young people. Go to work, say morning boss and leave and get paid for your day. Then they turn round and say Skerrit this and that, the speaker this and that. Well grand mother always say, you can’t force people to do what you want, but that shit the opposition is doing it will come back and hunt them. Dominica is not Skerrit and the Labour Supporters, its all of us to build. When ophelia passed it did not wet only labourites,we all felt the pain. its time the opposition but their dirty pride behind and come together to build our beautiful country.
If I had a voice in the DLP, this is what I would recommend to the PM – use the Dame Eugenia Charles hammer!! Mamo denied Hon Mike Douglas the position of Leader of the Opposition by allowing Hon. Jenner Armour and Hon Conrad Cyrus to remain on the opposition, thus having a 2 – 2 tie with the DLP (Hon. Douglas & Hon Urban Baron); thus no Opposition Leader and no Opposition Senators.
Let’s strip the title of Opposition Leader from Hon. Hector John and let’s get Ron Green, Ezekiel Bazil, Danny Lugay and Ronnie Isidore out of the House of Assembly since that’s where they want to stay. The plan is simple. You “have political capital” according to G.W. Bush, use it.
Allow 4 DLP Parl Reps to form the legal , official opposition. one will be the Opposition Leader, who will then appoint 4 Senators. Then all the Parliamentary Committees will be appointed. 7 guys are being paid a month’s salary for a 5 minutes work-day. We can at least cut it down to the 3 elected stooges!! That’s a plan to consider if given fair warning and they do not change. Move the Parliamentary Secretaries and 2 ministers across to the opposition. Beat these guys at their own game!! I’m kidding! That’s just a joke. Dominicans, don’t you have a sense of humour?
In fact chapter IV, Section 66(5) of the constitution will not allow a government Parl Rep to become Opposition Leader. But there is some ambiguity as to whether they can legally force the title to be rescinded by forcing the UWP into a minority within the opposition. Parl Reps have a right to cross the floor and become opposition. That would at least kick out Ron Green and the other Senators and deprive Hector the privileges of Leader of the Opposition which he squanders.
Section 42(2) also allows for alterations to the constitution with a 75% majority and even a 66% majority to alter a Supreme Court Order. Remember the 18-3 gives the DLP an 85% majority. So be careful what games you play, UWP!!
apologies the Princess Hospital but it needs a saint to make it better!
I need to See a Mike Douglas of the 21st Century, Who will it be? All we the young people can hear is Mike Stood alone and fought Mamo, but that kind of excitement does not exist here any more. To us (the young) it is just History…. (to me that Selfish), parliament is just a seating of 18 boring people saying I and No No’. For those young people who have interest in politics Pattern on the British and When these folks are Gone we can Bring back this Tradition and Respect to the house and the People who Voted for us. (Sorry Da Parliament Too Boring) No Opposition.
UWP Please could you take up the cause to get funding for a new hospital. With a new attitude and probably new staff. A friend of ours is in the hospital very sick and the doctor (Dominican in charge) does not even have the courtesy to ask how the patient is feeling. The hospital is so full the patients have no privacy! Some of the nurses and doctors have no pride in their work or the patients! If you go to the hospital you are likely to die! Why is the Government spending all this money on a state house when we need a hospital that cares about the patients, feeds the patients, looks after the patients treatment and has some system for the protection of patients! Please someone do something to help the citizens of Dominica be protected and maybe help the patients that come to the hospital. The St. Margaret’s hospital is a disgrace!!!!
PRINCIPAL, SKERRIT,DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORD IS SPELT AND THE MEANING? THE PRINCIPAL IS TO RESIGN BECAUSE YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE,YOU HAVE NO RIGHT IN THE PARLIAMENT.MAYBE,THE UWP IS DOING YOU AND THE PARLIAMENT A FAVOUR.WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU LOOSE YOUR CASE? ATLEAST, ONE THING THAT WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY YOUR ILLEGITIMACY IS THE PARLIAMENT COMMITTEE.
Haha … this IS funny.. telling Skerrit he doesn’t know how to spell ‘principal’ … when he really means ‘principle’ … comment here really make my morning! comedians!
Ron for God sake, you lost your US passport. your seat, they made you put on a suit,tell all about your finnance. Stop being a fool.
thombs up to the united workers party.you all are stunding up for dominicans
standing not standing and no they are not. They gettting a free check…oh thumbs not thombs

I am now livid
NOT FOR ME.THATS PURE NANCY STORY.
sh** u talking sacrea sort for ur stupid ass they standing up. ur jackass u hAVE NO REPRESENTATION N U HAPPY ABOUT THAT SHIT.
SANCTUS: You call me jackass thank you very much.I would rather be a jack ass than to support your smartass party. Have a nice day.
SANCTU: I think you misunderstand my comment.
Stuppesssss. Do you call that “stunding” up for Dominicans. To walk out everytime. What is their contribution? Answer me please. What are they ‘stunding’ up to. We must be careful of the statements we make. No meaningful contribution and to even think that they will win an election under those conditions. Kevin boy open you eyes and answer me ‘ Are these guys doing anything or contributing to the development of Dominica and its people? Kevin please answer me with some facts and not what you hear on the streets etc. I want concrete facts.
but wait these men getting paid,for non representation,now that is a waist of money,this needs to be corrected,this is to dam bold,on tax payers
but u all a bunch of dam fools or u all are doing it especially a question to u if parlument a held 4 times in the year as a belected parlument what shoud u do stop representing your people after parlument are over i want u all to understand that is just 5% of the work a parlument have to do .when the speaker will stop fantasing on eddy will come back.
WTH was that about? Did you even proof read your comment? “parlument”? “belected”? “fantasing”? Am I suppose to understand the rubbish you have written? OMG…..SEND HELP!
OK, point made the first time they walked out.
So, now they’ve done it again. I’m left to wonder the following: 1) Are they actually aware of the point they were trying to make the first time. 2) Are they still making a point out of stubborness and are trying to save face.
Surely now that we await the judges decision re the dual citizen case, now is the time for them to show/tell us what their plans are for Dominicas future should there be an election.
Sadly no morals, no commitment, no ideas, NO FUTURE.
The placard big enough for Ron to hide under, I mean look at te placard they give the man to hold. Perhaps he did not read it
YHE OPPOSITION IS FULL OF CRAP AND SH** .NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO WALK OUT FROM NOW TILL DOOMS DAY BUT WILL NEVER COME BACK IN GOVERNMENT.THATS WHAT I SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN MY TRUE DOMINICAN SORT YO SORT. AND THEY HAVE PEOPLE FOLLOWING THEM U KNOW . S***TTT MAN
Well done Guys, You are doing this on behalf of the peoplee of Dominica, we connot wait to become the next Lybia. Dominica must maintain it’s institution and ensure free and fair election.Dominican must be given the freedom to earn their own money.
how fair you wanted tie election to be again stupid
Vini mor a chouw,eveh LYBIA MAJIEW.
for real? do you even live here? well i do! they aint doing nothing on we dominican behalf. Libya? you compare us with Lybia, boy hush your mouth before you make ridiculous comments. You want our peaceful country to become a war struck, confused island. We have spoken in 2009 and if elections are called today we will speak again… DLP all the way , until the opposition can come with solid plans of development. Tell me is that what they gonna do when they in office? walk out on the nations business when the stress becomes too much? MAN BE EDUCATED, THE OPPOSITION IS NOT REPRESENTING WE DOMINICANS INTEREST!!!!!
Surely any monies earned MUST be worked for.
What exactly are they doing on our behalf, I could see your point if they were listening and learning, but they are adamant they will see this childish thing out no matter what.
I’ve been on the sidelines re which party to vote for, but sadly I for one refuse to be influenced/led by those with a self destruct mission.
Pedro?????????????? On which people behalf- those who voted for them??? Pedro We must be careful of the statements we make. No meaningful contribution and to even think that they will win an election under those conditions. Pedro boy open your eyes and answer me ‘ Are these guys doing anything or contributing to the development of Dominica and its people? Pedro please answer me with some facts and not what you hear on the streets etc. I want concrete facts. Pedro you have the audacity to ask for what is happenning in Lybia to happen here. Are you serious??? We will be at peace in this land until the next General Election when yoru guys will try to win again but alas they not doing anything for that day. Pedro the time is soon upon us and all they will present is “walkoutmania”. Pardner please love your country and pray for your leaders so we will leave in peace and our people (innocent) and others won’t be murdered if we resort to violent and what is being portrayed in the other parts of the world where there is unrest. Do you really love your country and the people within????? Anser me Peds!
SAME BULLS****,CRAP,DOG S***, PIG SHIT DIFFERENT DAY…ALL U SUPPORTERS SHOULD BEAT THE S*** OUT OF ALL FOR THIS NONSENSE AND NON-REPRESENTATION ON ALL U PART….I SAY SHAME, SHAME, AND MORE SHAME U BUNCH OF NINCUMPOOPS!AIRHEADS! BUNCH OF FOOLISH MEN
Congrats UWP keep the pressure up…never let the guard down!
the focus must be kept up!
one thing for sure in the 4 1/2 of UWP we were never rated the Poorest in the Caribbean.
Under DLP with all their Hollywood show type the country citizens as extremly poor…the agriculture industry is dead, no production in the island…
if things were that great why the folks cant buy tickets for the WCMF…shows lack of focs by DLP…they have driven dominica to the bottomless pit…what a joke!
ALL YOU SEEIN IS BLUE WII.
ARE U SURE THAT THEY CANT BY TICKETS FOR THE SHOW? EXAMINE YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWERE. THANKYOU.
????????????????????????? Facts ???????????????Facts????????????. You must be blind and not seeing. what pressure they keeping? Are you serious – Men acting like children whose toys were taken away. Are you repeating or are you reading and do you know what is happenning around the World?? God Bless Dominica and Father thank you for your mercies over this land. Who rated us the poorest???? Thought that was an Excellent move by you but alas ahwah. Put down your stats down.
Why don’t you try in an “Excellent Move” to revive the ‘agriculture industry ‘ In another “Excellent move” start some kind of production and employ at least 1 person. You can produce something even if it is talking, parler, parler, parler and come up with a master plan.
hope to hear from you soon.LOL
Get a job man, get a :?:ing job
we the voters that a left to suffer and the tax payers of my beloved country Dominica.god heal my nation and its people.
I just wish to say to the opposition that they are truly forming the Royal ****** in this country with this senseless protest with no real objective nor end in site. You guys should be outer “shooting down what’s bad” and giving support to all the positive proposals of the government. BESIDES THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION IS THROWING HIS CHANCES OF GET REAL POLITICAL EXPERIENCE TO THE DOGS WITH THIS FOOLISHNESS.
They probably have no meaninful contribution to bring to the house. Pride comes before a fall Ron.
Its obvious that u are not a UWP supporter…is your constituency being represented by any of them? would you like any of them to lobby parliament on your behalf….what do you want dem to say in there for you……i know you dont want dem to represent u….so what u want from dem…….
Do you consider electoral reform good for us or do u think it is bad?
de PM has already agreed to a national I.D card…….if you are in support of the PM on that issue then you agree with UWP that DOMINICA needs electoral reform……….however you will supprt a national I.D as described by Skerrit……and you are not in support of a particular VOTER IDENTIFICATION CARD.
STOP FORMING DE ROYAL**********
YOU CONFUSED OR WHAT?
STUPES
Would it mean more to you if the same question was asked right on the floor of parliament
Nothing since this what they are already contributing … Nothing! What I also need from them is to step down and let someone who wants to represent people take over.
According to you:-
“Do you consider electoral reform good for us or do u think it is bad?
de PM has already agreed to a national I.D card…….if you are in support of the PM on that issue then you agree with UWP that DOMINICA needs electoral reform……….however you will supprt a national I.D as described by Skerrit……and you are not in support of a particular VOTER IDENTIFICATION CARD” This is pure camouflage. One cannot speak about the above and do some suggestions etc for development of Dominica. Whilst protesting, Can;t they something meaningful in their community and working with the constituents? Instead of protesting and parlering etc.
You mean to say that you are saying that there is nothing else important in the country to do than to only parler about “ID Cards etc” Come on retire hurt and let some fresh blood take over.
for real i second that
UWP playing stonewall for electoral reform…..hahahaha
DLP playing stonewall on de MOU…….hahahahaha
Seriously though………Both of these issues are important to ALL DOMINICANS not just the Chinese-Dominicans, and other foreign-aligned Dominicans of convenience.
Too much passports out there….we need to strengthen our democracy.
What are out values? What do we really value as Dominicans?
Would this MOU add value to our nations conscience as we move to the future?
Will electoral reform destroy our Democracy?
HAVE U THOUGHT OF HOW MUCH PASSPORTS OUR DOMINICANS LIVING ABROAD HAVE. ALL U WANT AMERICAN BRITISH N FRENCH PASSPORT N ALL DOH WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO HAVE ALL YOU OWN SACREA MODI EVEC SORT.
MY MOUTH OPEN WIDE!!!! AWA AWA AWA AWA AWA!!!!… you know wat.. THESE PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO GET ON MY LAST DAMN NERVE!!!! Is there any provision in the rules to allow parliament to continue its work in the house after several walk-outs? THERE SHOULD BE ONE BEcause these damn UWP PAKA BA’w Valeh pour lajan’w LMAO
THEY NOT UNDERSTANDING THE COUNTRY’S WORK WILL NOT GO FORWARD WITH WHAT THEY DOING?? WHY WHY WHY THESE HAVE TO DO THAT? AH AH AH MAGWAY SA!!! WHY is thos robots that find themselves in parliament nuh??? SOMEBODY FIX THEM SUPLAIS!!!! THAT IS VERY IRRITATING!!! It wudnt be a surprise that they do it again
abbott & costello syndrome
WORKERZZZZZZZZZZZZZ PWEEEEEEEEEE ENCORE
A LAS BONDIEU
WE VOTING CORRUPTION if workers continue to do foolishness
WE VOTING CORRUPTION if DLP continue to send our kids overseas to study
WE VOTING CORRUPTION if UWP continue to wlakout of parliament
WE VOTING CORRUPTION if the friendly states continue to look after DOMINICAS; DEVELOPEMNT

LUV THIS DELIVERY
Take note EXCALIBUR! Excellent Move! Pedro and all the others qui ka ani parler et parler. Bring facts and dispute what WE VOTING CORRUPTION SAYS. Time go look for a scholarship to do some studies so you can contribute some meaningful suggestions etc
It apperas that the editorial staff of DNO have not respect for the opposition actions and the manner in which they the opposition want to get their message across, and i refer to the article which states that the opposition in their usual grand style walked out of parliament, you cannot be an editor and refering to opposition as a grand style, this is disrespectful to the official elected opposition, in feature use proper language, it is street language to use the term grand style in refering to the official opposition
LOL well they need to start acting like the official opposition, and by now their actions deserved a name, in my opinion i doh see a problem with the style it is Grand isn’t it?
Isn’t it obvious that DNO is not abona fide journalistic enterprise? That is so so obvious, but at least they are letting us know what is going on and we are thankful for that! Watch it they might just get a sisserou award for their work!
CIA, you pathetic. Where did you go to school?I don’t have much love for the present regime either but really, the opposition would have lost the election, fair play or not. They should show some real balls and represent the people that voted for them. This way they’re losing the little respect they’ve got left. Come on, even if I were the only member of opposition in the house I would wear my batch with pride, no matter how much ridicule the ruling party would throw at me. Edison James too bloody sensitive!!Stop thinking about self, be a real man and think of the the people!
You folks are such Jacks same old sh**on a different day
What a shame, big men acting like spoiled children! They don’t get what they want so they just run away. How can their supporters stand for this foolishness. The UWP was beaten fair and square in the general election, but they still have 3 constituencies that depend on them for representation in the House of Assembly… come on guys do the job you were elected to do, this is really getting old!
I am by no means an admirer of these dumb politicians in Dominica. .Right now is “ Tiway Boodeer matais Pi”. Sixty thousand a corrupt government with corrupt opposition no jobs , no opportunities I’d it’s time for the people to take back the country from politicians. Fresh blood, revised constitution making special provisions to deal with corrupt politicians, police, senior counsels, magistrates and passport agents.
As for Ron, Eddie, Angelo and others I would put them in a retirement home. Look at Ron in the photo- he even looking hungry. Please note that the stock farm prison should be expanded so we can put away those thieves – we all know who they are. Then we will hire an international investigation to recover moneys hidden in offshore bank accounts and on accounts of family members overseas. Thanks to my FBI friends following the money trails we know where three of them have accounts
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE U.W.P WALKED OUT OF PARLIAMENT AGAIN, I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I HEARD THEY WERE GOING IN THE HOUSE.I AM THINKING OF WITHDRAWING MY SUPPORT FROM THEM. WHAT DO U THINK
I think you should the fans put them there to represent them, and see that they walk out everytime, cannot talk on their behalf
AND MY SISTER WANTED ME TO VOTE FOR UWP. NOT ON MY LIVING BODY MAYBE ON MY DEAD BODY.SIS STAY ON YOUR SIDE BYE AND HAVE SWEET DREAM.
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A FOOL TO STILL BE THERE SUPPORTING SOME JACKASSES THAT DONT REPRESENT YOU AT ALL. DONT YOU REALISE WHEN THEY WALK OUT YOU DONT HAVE A VOICE? TELL THAT DAM SPAGS TOP SIT HIS IN PALIAMENT N LET RON GREEEEEN
T.
DOITRIGHT, If the opposition is displaying a new form laziness, what would you say about the minister of agriculture, the common cry in Dominica is the demise of the agriculture sector, what would you say about foreign investment and most of all its a down right Lazy government that could allow the level of unemployment to be so high. pl get this lazy government to do it right my friend DOITRIGHT.
Assuming for argument sake UWP wins the next election and Hon Hector John becomes the Prime Minister. How will he handle parliament when he would have had zero experience attendending?
What skills will he have in dealing with the technicalities and intricacies of parliamentary procedures?
Hector John needs to find himself in the parliament to represent his people, learn the ‘know hows’ of parliament and develop himself into a decent, well composed, carismatic stateman growing his brand as a person of exemplary hard worker working for his the people of Dominica against all odds. That’s what Patriotism is about and that’s what we the citizens will grade him on.
GO TO PARLIAMENT AND REPRESENT US ALL!!!
thats a typical nonsense blog did skero have any experince…
thats why dominicans are consider and rated with a thumps down in the caribbean due to the lack of thinking..they only see what they want to view..
These guys are irresponsible,they re the type of individuals spoken of in the Lynch speech of 1842. their envy is greater than their love of country.
Their behaviour is of the mentality of slavery,they are obstructing progress of their own fellow men.
They don’t understand the meaning of the word democracy.
I used to respect them but i am ashamed of these grown men behaving like spoilt children.
Hector John f you want to be a future leader in Dominica, do your duty as member of parliament and head leader of the opposition in the house.
The question UWP supporters should ask themselves is are they getting value for money from their representatives.
I mean, where in the world can any of us walk into our job for five minutes, walk out and then get paid a full salary? These men are being paid with tax payers money, hard earned money. Whether we are UWP or DLP or DFP, the tax man still comes for his due for he knows no party colors.
UWP people bawling money tight and yet they allowing their representatives to get a full salary from the same money they bawling about.
I am calling on the government to stop paying these guys and donate the money to some charity on the island, maybe the Grotto or CHANCES. Something worthwhile.
Hahahahahaha
red clinic
Even Red Clinic…..I don’t mind. As long as helping people in need.
Haahahahahaha
And if it becomes a threat where they gonna lose the salary you will see how they all gonna run in the house. them man have no plans,no vision and their main goal is to distract the focus and mission of the government.let’s be serious peoples parliament really ??
an official UWI poll shows only 8% of Dominicans feeling that this DLP government is worth their talk……talk about value for money
How does that relate to the amount of time Parliament meets for each year…….every week we have a Red Clinic….compare that to the number of times parliament meets each year….Parliament meets for about 3 days in each sitting……if i were generous as to give this government 6 Parliament sessions in any one year period that would make it less than 20 days a year……..talk about value for money….huh
All this talk about a west coast highway, state house and college…..these are all Chinese accomplishments…….what are WE doing in Parliament?
I trying to recall when last i hear Petter St. Jean ask Blackmoore to fix the road between La Plaine and the Junction at Delice….or maybe he tell him in private…..but i want records because if he did say it why isn’t anything being done about it……..talk about value for money…….STUPES!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha
I would like to know who is the WE you talking about there…becaue you don’t even live in Dominica. When last were you in Dominica? lol lol.
So you saying the west coast highway and the state college are Chinese accomplishments and they won’t be of benefit to us? lol lol. I guess the college will be filled with Chinese students and only Chinese filled cars will be on the West Coast Highway.
Hahahahahaha
You “give this government 6 Parliament sessions in any one year….”
They are the government. They work at their ministries and in the field every day. Don’t they? Or, shouldn’t they?
and how many have the UWP memebers attended? they really need to stop with that nonsense and go make a better life for their supporters and Dominica(can). STOP BEING PUPPETS… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
@Excalibur, They should go to parliament everyday, not steal UWP say DLP stealing the money nuh? Let them give their account as to what the money was used for… But oppsss they won’t know cause they weren’t in parliament to hear…. THEY REALLY NEED TO GROW UP
True sa Hahahaha
Set the example. All u always breying about Ministers of Government getting big salaries. But my gosh they work for a monthly pay. All u just receiving a monthly pay on the backs of tax payers for nothing. All u conscience not beating all u. It is time this nonsense stop.
The old man with the placard go keep your young family warm
de old man along with the other old man in Marigot need to get into retirement and allow new and young blood into the party.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT MY COUSN SANDFORDE IS OUT OF STATE STUDYING….ITS AN EMBARASSMENT TO ME PERSONALLY AND A SUPPORTER ( unsure if I am still one ) TO BE SUBJECTED TO SUCH CHILDISH AND IRRESPONSIBLE CONDUCT. I THINK THOSE WHO DO NOT WORK SHOULD NOT BE PAID,,,,,THAT CPMEDY FROM THE UWP MUST NE ENDED ONCE AND FOR ALL ! ITS FRUSTRATING ! DATS DAMN WHY THE PM SAID WIN LOSE OR DRAW HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO TO PUTAN END TO THIS FOOLISHNESS.
THE UWP MUST PUT ITS EARS ON THE GROUND TO LISTEN TO DOMINICANS AND NOT THOSE ARSSSSSEEE TALK SHOWS . THEY HAVE TO RE-ORGANISE THEIR PARTY…A**ESS SERIOUSLY WHY WE CONTINUE TO LOSE SO MUCH SUPPORT///IT WAS 5000 LAST ELECTIONS IT WILL BE MUCH MORE WHEN SKERRIT CALLS A SNAP ELECTION AFTER THE COURT RULES again WIN LOSE OR DRAW ! SOMEONE MUST BE MAN ENOUGH TO TELL WORKERS DAT ITS FOOLISHNESS THAT THEY ARE DOING AND IT HAS TO STOP. WALKING OUT AND BOYCOTTING IS NOT HELPING US ITS HURTING US !
I AGREE WITH U MY DEAR.
I would stop paying their salary!
skerritt can pay learent for doing nothing but the oposision shou not have there salary .jesus christ.
Come On nuh Fellas, ease up nah, represent your , and stand by your promise to your people. That’s not a good thing u all are doing, young people are watching. How can i vote for somebody who is never in the house? Yes the Govt may have some issues but u go there stand upright and Debate them with all your might. Shake them with your ideas make the govt know that we are not going to drink what they are saying let them for once go back to the Drawing board. i Doh know what to tell all you men again.
A uwp friend sent this to me
UWP self must decide what they up to, this nonesense of running in the house just not to be miss three seatings and walking out is very unbecoming. They are recieving salaries, they need to stop that rubbish, there is no excuse for this. Seat there moomoo, but by all means bondieu stay in the house, then is Skerrit that voleh. Isn’t that theft by deception by the very same uwp?
I getting tired of supporting that. We make our stand and they know where we stand. Its time the uwp start representing the people. It cannot be all about Skerrit and against Skerrit.
WHAT ABOUT DOMINICA
they do not care about Dominica as they say, such HYPOCRITES
AND SKERRIT IS GETTING PAID FOR BEING AN ILLEGAL PRIME MINISTER
But he is actually doing work right?
NOT TRUE THE PEOPLE PUT HIM THEIR, SO GO BEAT YOURSELF
AT LEAST HE IS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
yack what is your point. Although illegal, he still working and getting things done. So they getting paid for being a “walkoutmania” and doing nothing.
???????? who would you prefer to be Illegal PM and working or legal and not making no meaningful contribution. I would rather be the first one.. but I sure you’d prefer to be no 2 from your comments.
retard!!!!
AND THE SAYING GOES LIKE THIS jalousy CE FAMIE A SOCIER. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
Well said PM Skerrit!! Shame on the opposition
WHY DONT THEY REFUSE THEIR MONTHLY PAYMENT THEN?
Now I’m convinced old age have caught up with Ron. The man is really senile. Dr Benjamin and/or Sharma needs to be called in as a matter of urgency. PLEASEEEEEEEE SOMEONE HELP THESE POOR, SORRY SOULS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really getting sick of these guys and there new form of laziness !!!!!!!! Go do the people work in paliament and stop this rubbish.
FOR TRUE
