The opposition leader is one who command”s majority support amoung the elected members on the opposition side.Charles from Marigot and Paul from Salisbury.Who supports who for majority? Four senators on the opposition side.Skerrit has tied up the opposition like crabs in the market on a Saturday.Bwa- Banday and Ibo France nominated by Paul,and Meme and Jonathan Y St.Jean nominated by Charles.
I think PM aim was to get that fighting none no sense opposition out of the house
Especially men like Danny L
And the rest
Good buy
Hope we never see them again
My humble advice to you my young lady, is this: Don’t be blindsided by Labour people. When you are faced with difficulty along the way, seek God for guidance and strength. Because your task is bigger than you think. For sound advice on the ground you must have telephone numbers of strong patriots like Arthie Martin, the Honorable Lennox Linton and so forth. People will be praying for you all over the world and also for the other freedom fighters. Together we will drive out the parasite from Dominica. God blessings be upon you, and thanks for the courage to stand up for all of us.
CONGRATULATION
Miss Paul thanks for keeping the fire burning in Salisbury skerrit thought he could come to salisbury and talk his BS after he try to …. the entire villiage . Skerrit salisbury is not for sale . In 22 years you did nothing for the people, than give them tear gas and have them grining in court on some nonsence charges . You pretending it never happen, take it to the people that have no back bone and the ones you give your crumbs , Salisbury will never forgive you for what you did to them, and you have to suffer for that, karma is a B. Skerrit you have money, it have people who had more power than you they die miserable, Saddam Gaddafi,, Chavez , Pinochet, Ferdinando Marcos ,Gary , Amin, and many more, your turn is around the bend. Power to the people of Salisbury. December 6 is declare Salisbury independence day.
Hmm lmao then they get mad and want to block road when they don’t get representation smh
So you are saying that they must only get representation if Labour wins?
So you are saying that they must only get representation if they vote Labour?
@Observer
They have 100% right to protest, and if needs be, block roads, when they are refused a slice of Dominicas largesse. They pay their taxes, so they deserve all the things that you, (obviously a greedy Skerrite) are getting too.
Get out of here!!!
Congratulations to the voters of Salisbury who gave a black eye to Skerritt. Skerritt, you must realize that the brave and patriotic people of Salisbury are not for sale. Take that. Congratulations to Jesma Paul.
Are you still in a dream state, what black eye to The PM you are referring to. Do you really think Jesma Paul victory is about brave patriotic people of Salisbury, let’s say when the people of Grand bay voted Vince Henderson does that make them less patriotic or unpatriotic than the people of Salisbury, are you that ignorant of the dynamics of the politics in Dominica with the way certain constituencies vote. I hope that Jesma Paul can deliver for the people
of Salisbury when she goes to Parliament now that she is elected.
Congratulations, lady!
I hope that this translates, finally, into real representation for Salisbury and Morne Rachette. Please, leave that Spaggs era of daybah and laziness behind and work towards progress.
Congratulations to the people of Salisbury and your new Parliamentary Representative, Honorable Jesma Paul.
You did not give Prime Minister, Honorable Roosevelt Skerrit the 21 seat mandate he wanted to be like Mia Motley of Barbados and Keith Mitchell of Grenada
Hon. Paul,
By default, you have become the new opposition leader in the Dominica parliament.
Let’s work together to build our nation. Best wishes!
Congrats to you, but my advice to you is stay close to labour and consider proposing a portfolio from Skerritt and do your work, do not mix with the opposition. Remember you are not a party, you a just independent.
Hahahahah, nice try! Why do you insult the lady like that?
You Reds are a very desperate bunch and the clock is ticking… Tik tok Tik tok
Congratulations young lady. Self respecting Dominicans appreciate what you and Bawi have achieved!
Congratulations Jesma, well done. Now go out and advocate for your constituents in an honest and accountable manner. Do not let anyone break you down, stand tall. I wish you well in your endeavours.
Similar sentiments to Mr. Charles who won in Marigot, Congratulations sir.
Congratulations to you Jesma Paul…
What a vibrant and “No Nonsense” village!
I just LOVE Salisbury people!!
Wow. You go, girl!!
PRAISE THE LORD! Hallelujah
Girl! You made my day. You are my PM: mammo
