UWP meeting still on; party ‘favourably disposed’ to new presidential nominee

Political leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), Lennox Linton, has announced that a meeting originally planned to protest the nomination of Alix Boyd-Knights as president of Dominica is still on but with a new twist.

At the same time he revealed that the party is ‘favourably disposed’ to the new presidential nominee proposed by Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit.

“We will go to the meeting on Friday afternoon for a different purpose,” he said on Q95’s Matt in the Morning on Wednesday morning. “We are happy that Mrs Boyd-Knights is no longer in contention for the presidency of Dominica and therefore we have a victory to celebrate, a very important people’s victory.”

On Tuesday evening news broke that Boyd-Knights “had withdrawn” from the nomination for head of state.

The nomination of Boyd-Knights to replace Eliud Williams whose term expires at the end of September, was vehemently opposed by the UWP and a meeting was called for Friday evening near the state house to protest “peacefully.”

News also surfaced that retired public servant, Jennifer Wallace Lafond, was proposed as the government’s new nominee for the job.

Linton pointed out that the UWP will engage the government ‘responsibly’ on the new nominee.

“We will engage Mr Skerrit responsibly on the new nominee he has put forward to whom we are favourably disposed,” he stated. “However we are insisting that the process must allow us to engage meaningfully in consultation…”

The UWP leader is calling on supporters to turn out in their numbers despite the rapid turn of events.

“The meeting is going ahead,” he stated. “It will have a different focus but we are calling all people across Dominica who are elated, who are happy at this very interesting turn of events…”

Linton is still insisting that the nomination of Boyd-Knights was a bad decision by the prime minister and his cabinet. “The planned appointment of Alix Boyd-Knights to the presidency was scandalous, it was disgraceful, it was not in the public interest,” he said. “It was only we the people acting together and standing together that was going to prevent that from happening. And we have achieved that.”

    Now that Alex Boyd-Knight name is not on the table any more and a new individual Jennifer Wallace Lafond in the new PM nominee We want to hear from the leader of the UWP and more over to be fair to the Constitutional procedure we want to know if he’s following the process. Mr. Lennox Linton we want to know who is your patty’s nominee for the job as President… Jennifer being from M’got and a retired civil service is not enought for the position in my book Mr. E.Williams was and is a better choice but he allow Skerrit to fool him he show have taken the advice of his good friend Sir Brian and we wouldnt be in this mess.

    The UWP supporters are hiding behind their computers, which they use as their political platform. When it’s time to show strength in numbers, they fail to show up because they are ashamed to be identified as supporters of the very party they are raving about on DNO. Let’s see how many of them show up for that meeting by their so-called leader.

    We Dominicans are hilarious. We thrive on mediocrity. We bully a legally qualified individual to withdraw herself from the nomination for the Presidency for a less qualified individual. And then the very “unqualified” leader of the opposition party is “favourably disposed”, whatever that means. Well I guess in his world that makes perfect sense. His party just voted him over the more qualified Mr. Sandford as their leader.

      U r such a qualified Bias person that you cannot even identify the difference between Legally qualify and Legally Political.

      She is Legally Political and as such she is not Legally qualified for office of presidency.

      PS. I was going to use another word instead of BIAS.

    I would like to applaud Mr. Linton for all the hard work he has done in fighting down the ruthless PM Skerrit and his band of desperadoes. The fight to bring Alix Boyd-Knight to her knees was such a success. “BRAVO!” Note now, the new goal of being “favourable disposed” against the nomination of Jennifer Wallace Lafond, “WOW”.

    To those who may critize me and to those who fill justified in bellowing accolades to Mr. Linton on his great achievement. Oh! sorry our achievement. I ask this of you. So soon?

    So soon we have rallied behind a choice that seems fitting but is actually not in so many ways. I say to you that as before at the inception of the UWP. The same praises and glorification were given to Mr. Edison C James, a man I knew had more integrity than Mr. Linton but failed to make a term. Mind you, I do not doubt Mr. Linton’s virility as a fighter. It is in that regard I think he is the wrong choice. Not saying that he will not or can’t be a successful PM. Lesser men has made strides that have changed the world. But in any fight you need to know the enemy and picking your battles in this modern type of political warfare is an important gambit. Despite what the majority of UWP supporters may, say it was a failure on many levels. For one I see the recurring actions and statements against lost causes. This being the first of them followed by dirty rhetoric.

    Though some of you may not agree, the ABK nomination could have been a play to watch Linton’s/UWP reaction or you the people. Note, I said could have been. In my opinion this was a trivial matter compared to other issues I have been waiting to hear the opposition challenge in house. Like the failing universal education system, the minimum wage, the port import and high export percentages, the banana crisis that will never end and what should replace it. In my opinion these are some of the things that are more pressing. Note, the increasing unemployment rate. Soon will come the starvation and increased crime rate. Not forgetting the lost of homes.

    Is Mr. Linton going to reside himself to running away from his opposition responsibilities by boycotting the house of assembly and continuing to engage in a forum that is by UWPs’ definition designed to battle for the rights of the people and has done squat. There is only one forum for that purpose and the opposition need to use it and use it to its’ full potential. Otherwise relegate themselves to accepting partial responsibility for the state of the country. Let’s face facts the PM has no opposition and Alix Boyd -Knight is a lousy excuse for not going into the house.

    We as a nation need to know that Mr. Linton is prepared to remedy these issues and if he can’t. We need to know. Personally I don’ believe he can. In particular on a foreign basis. We as supporters need to make for certain he is not just talk, that he would not justify his failure by blaming the labour party if he is unsuccessful.

    I have listen to Lenox Linton’s interview locally and on CMC news. Some of the questions put to him in particular on CMC were never answered. Infact his strongest acclamation was towards his nomination being due to the people. No other answers to what makes him qualified.

    His CV is important, his background history is important. What ever he does in the publics eye is important. After all Mr. Linton has echoed the very same notion about PM Skerrit and his band of misfits. We the people should not ignore that. While we as UWP supporters see it fit when supporter of the ruling party asks for Mr. Linton’s CV and questions whether he is qualified to handle the business of the government. We chastise the supporters of the ruling party by asking for their CVs as well. All is fine and dandy with that. Guess what we want them out because we say they are not qualified. Should we not ensure that who we put is qualified and capable.

    The greater percentage of UWP supporters will agree with all action and decisions Mr. Lenox Linton makes. Just read some of the statements made today on DNO and it is quit apparent people want to demonstrate. Is it because some of us a tired, disgruntled and need to be heard? Interestingly enough, I remember on many occasions mr. Linton has had the opportunity to demonstrate with the people after having influenced key persons to do so. While promising to join, not even his ghost was present. Food for though.

    Hear I stand as a long supporter of the UWP since its’ inception and I knowing what I know about Mr. Linton. Surely I say onto you he will fail and that is even if he becomes prime minister. You all who rally behind him now will turn against him just as some of you have turned against the Labour party government. Remember the dame, who styed in power for 15 years. The new labour party there for 14 years. The same reaction as with her as with Skerrit, etc.

    If the nomination of Alix was a bad one, what would you say Mrs. Lafond’s own is? Come on now! Does the reason why this nominee finds favor with LL have anything to do with the fact that she has roots from the constituency which you intend to contest?

    simplygeorgeous70 let me tell you something.diction is for calypso,i think you get 30 or 40 points for good diction in calypso,so maybe lennox should try singing calypso or maybe ask the calypso association to take him back to judge for them,although i dont believe ghost will want him back,in judging calypso because he is trouble.best u advice lennox to stop talk and go out and see if he can win a few votes,so he wont be too embarassed by the outcome of the election results

      Dear Sandra,
      Simplygeorgeous70 is correct, and you are wrong.
      Diction is NOT only for singing or calypso it is also related to every day speech.
      It is the ability to be clearly understood when speaking. Since Mr. Lintons comments were carried on radio simplygeorgeous70 could also be making reference to the clarity, choices and style of expressions in Mr. Linton’s innocuous comments. The fluency and coherence stands tall above all.

    UWP A PARTY OF TECHNICALITIES

    In 2000 They lost the General election with less votes than the collision Government.

    The claim the largest votes as a block. True but the collision had the peoples mandate. The UWP never conceded defeat. they tried to lure members of the government’s side to topple the Collision. no problem.

    When Lorene crossed the floor to them she was the biggest traitor.

    That is the nature of the UWP.

    They are not about people. They are about personal business deals.

      This is the very same high school drop out through his investigative skills that forced those university graduates to pay back over half a million dollars into the treasury. That alone qualifies him to be pm. Imagine without a high school diploma he was able to do the job of the whole audit department with their degrees. Have u ever listened to ur university grads in government speak? Compare that to the high school drop out and he puts them to shame

      • nonchalant
        September 11, 2013

        That thing about Linton being a high school dropout and so not qualified to lead a political party and ultimately be a Prime Minister is so lame…so lamebrained…so foolish.

        One has only got to listen to speak and see the man’s effortless eloquence. One has only got to see where he has worked and what quality of work he has turned out to see the man’s obvious above average intelligence. One has only to observe how he has taken on the issues of governance to see what utter rubbish the high school drop out thing is.

    • Shameless
      September 11, 2013

      The truth of the matter is that the high school drop out is more well rounded, more honest, more sincere, more Dominican, more educated, have more common sense, have better command of the English language and have better leadership capabilities than El Supremo. Hence, that makes him more qualified to hold the office that El Supremo is now holding. But be mindful that “Change Must Come” and that high school drop out is leading the CHANGE effort.

    UWP A PARTY OF TECHNICALITIES

    In 1995 the UWP came into government with less than 33% of the popular votes and were satisfied to seat in government with the minority support. Technically they form the government with 11 seats but less votes the Freedom Party. They had no problem with the electors list.

      Mr. Linton was and is the wrong choice to lead the UWP. He will quickly realize that being a Political leader is not the same as being a propaganda spreading investigative journalist. I still can’t believe that the stalwarts of the UWP has stoop that lowly at a chance to get back in power. That should tell the people out there, the UWP has no real development plan for the country, but instead want to lead by fear and division. Dominicans need to put all this bullshit politics aside and work together to develop the country and stop letting all these power hungry politicians, whether Red, Blue, Green, Purple mash up the country.

    There are a few desperate persons who will try all technicalities to make the views of the UWP look popular. They will always disappoint themselves whenever the result of the general election is called.

    Do you remember Angilo Allen stayed on the hangman gallows on then Queen Mary Street during the 1990 election and Prevost still lost Roseau?

    They will keep eluding themselves and fool their supporters to believe that the election was stolen from them.

    They have never conceded defeat.

    Just an observation:
    *With the Exception of one minister the Rosevelt Skerrit Cabinet unanimously supported ABK as a nominee for the office of the President.
    *However, we are learning now that members of that same cabinet that overwhelmingly supported ABK, suggested to the PM that if he does not change his mind about ABK as nominee for the Office of President that they will publicly voice their opposition.
    Question:
    What has transpired since their overwhelming support for ABK until now, how come they have a change of heart?
    *Is it because the DLP is losing support
    *Is it because Skerrit is losing support
    *Is because they have gotten wind that the crowd for the protest would have numbered into the thousands
    *Is it because of the UWP’s visionary Astuteness in exposing ABK for what she really is
    * Or is it all of the above.

I will be laughing as usual when u all lose again. what do u think u can do right that Eddison James did not do right when he was in government. Do u think that if UWP had things under control when they were in government , they would only last for one term, give me a break.

      Instead of using a coherent arguement and thesis for your basis of being against Lennox, you come up with hot air and nothing else. ‘Power hungry’? For a man who has been running a terrible governance for over ten years, I think that title can be awarded to R Skerrit.

    Every time I read a statement from Lennox he sounds more ridiculous than ever. He repeating the same gibberish. What is “favorable disposed”? Is this who some want to be Dominica’s Prime Minister?

    • Everybody Peeping
      September 11, 2013

      alas, labourites cant understand basic terms. Let us educate you. To be favorable disposed means that you most likely will support, but have not made a firm commitment just yet.

      Dear Anonymous,
      The expression “Favorably disposed” means:

      Open to the idea…
      In favor with…
      No immediate objections…
      Willing to consider…

      An yes, Lennox is someone whom we should want as Prime minister.
      However, I can understand that you would have some difficulty with Lennox’s speech, as he is fluent, well read, well learned, and an orator of the highest caliber.

      Something we have not been hearing from the present cabal.

    • Nature Spice

      Favorably disposed; not antagonistic or hostile; “a government friendly to our interests”; “an amicable agreement”. Favorably disposed is used for friendly or amicable.

      “Favourably disposed” woshhhhhhh, that one pass straight over your head. Disposed : inclined, likely, willing.
      Favourable : approving of, sympathetic to, positive about. If you put the two together then you’ll understand what it means. But just in case you are unable to do this simple task then I’ll help you. Inclined, likely or willing to be approving of or sympathetic towards the nominee.

      Anybody who is dumb enough to write and make stupid comments using the name Barrack Obama, is less than a fool; no one should dignify your comments by responding to your crap.

      I agree DNO knows who you are, and allow you the space, to have some fun, but who are you to question Lennox ability, and his educational background?

      As I said formally, if all it took to run a country is a degree, then Dominica would not be to date the poorest, and most backward place in the Western Hemisphere.

      Since you are so educated, you may spend some time asking yourself, how come all of the ministers of government presently have degrees, yet they are unable to function, unable to develop a plan which can be utilized to attract and encourage foreign investors to take an interest in Dominica , and invest in industries; thus, creating jobs for the youth of the country.

      Legitimate jobs means less dealing in drugs, and stealing as many of the youths do in Dominica these days.

      The sale of illegal drugs seems to be the only industrial; industry, on the agenda for Dominica right now.

      Shouldn’t you be concern rather than making yourself a darn fool calling yourself Barrack Obama?

      Don’t be surprise if the Secret Service of the United States investigate you for impersonating the president of the United States, because that is exactly what you are doing!

    DNO UWP indeed vehemently opposed the nomination of Alix Boyd Knight but I believe more so that the people of Dominica at home and abroad are the ones who effected the change. We were not going to allow it and Friday’s meeting organized by the UWP would have shown Skerrit, Tony and Hartley ” comma poule ca pon” – to Hartley that means we have taken enough crap and we will teach you, Skerrit and Tony a lessen.

    The UWP voted for Alix Boyd Knight for Speaker of the house after the 2005 election. Read the Hansard of the House of Assembly. They complemented her.

    Their reaction towards her nomination is their sour grape of the decision of the court. Their attempt of protest is to console themselves that their wrong is right. This is a very dangerous political precedence on the part of the UWP. They are anxious to test the waters “before a chicken excretes they say it is eggs”

    They have felt a small pulse of their badly wounded party and have started singing songs of victory.
    This is a sign of a very desperate party very scared of an election, prepared to do anything that would make them look popular other than an election.

    To elect a leader who is not smarter than a fifth grader is very telling on the UWP.

    To make matters worse he was kicked out of school in fourth form for violence in school. He has no CV and cannot publish one. He is a self confessed novice who thinks he is smarter than Judges, pastors, priests, Bishops, Lawyers and everybody who took the time to qualify themselves or establish a credible profession while he was seeking endorsements.

    How can the people of Dominica trust his Judgement in the judgement of who should be the President of the Commonwealth of Dominica?
