    Man you repeating the same foolishness with Lennox Linton.The President must accept the resignation of the opposition,it is not the President business to advise her not to resign.Senators cannot decide who is opposition leader they have no say.There is a conspiracy by the parliamentary opposition and UWP to prevent Mr Charles from being opposition leader because,he has decided to support UPP and not UWP.Now we know the only member of the opposition who was really independent and not a puppet of UWP is Anthony Charles.The only way Victor can hold the position of leader of the opposition is if Anthony Charles agree to support her.If there is a signed agreement between Victor and Charles,Charles should sue Victor for breach of contract and produce the letter as evidence.Lennox Linton fooled the fools by telling them Senators can determine who is,and who is not the leader of the opposition.Based on the agreement Charles should dismiss all 4 Senators when
    he becomes leader.They are…

    One love,you forgot it was Skerrit and Labourites who built Dominica after Maria,so stop your foolishness.Now Mr Iniquity Dominicans,unlike you read the constitution,especially Labourites.Explain what the constitutional crisis is.The constitution Sec 66(1) makes provision for a leader of opposition with the support of the majority of ELECTED members not supporting the government.There are only two elected members not supporting the government.Therefore both have to agree who the opposition leader will be.Then they have to inform the President.The President have nothing to do with the agreement between Victor and Charles,The Senators have nothing to do with who is opposition leader,they are members of the house,but not elected.Sec 66(2) at paragraph 2 makes it clear.Just like they had no part to play when Victor was made opposition leader.If Charles is made opposition leader he should dismiss all 4 Senators.Paris is out of place,the people did not elect him.Victor took advise from UWP.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 3 Thumb down 6

    What is Skerrit going to address tonight? Is he going to say that he, Saverin and his new president have created a constitutional crisis in Dominica and he is going to use that crisis to announce a snap election? Yes, I know he said his speech is going to be about Maria to Beryl but we have seen this movie before with this lying, deceitful and evil leader and we would be fooling ourselves to expect anything that genuinely have to do with hurricane.
    Skerrit, Savarin, Ms Burton and Francis planned a crisis to ensure we would be without an opposition leader today so that they could use the constitution to destroy our country The four evils above knew Jesma Paul was wrong to agree to a deal to share power with Tony Charles after 18 months but Savarin swore them in and then retired. Before Ms Burton was elected Francis was quick to endorse her. Then he went on q95 to announce Tony Charles is a member of his new party knowing well the people of Marigot would be upset. So

    Stupes. gason you have already destroyed our country and no need to listen to your nonsense. I wouldn’t even be surprised to hear you call election tonight because you Skerrit have Dominica as a women that’s been wounded, afflicted, abused, crippled and beaten to death but will cry big tears during the funeral

    o let out one big stupse when i open DNO and see Mr. face smiling for me. Imagine i dont even want to hear the utter rubbish that Mr. have to say. What save 200 dollars for rainy days again? make sure we ready? How can we save money and still be ready? Even with the 200 in my hand that cannot do nothing for me. This man and his fake friends are doing everything they can to destroy this once great Caribbean nation of ours. Daily you see it in Roseau and the rest of the country. If we get another major hurricane people, nothing will change. he will go and cry for money and guess what? he will hold it for himself n his fake friends. Like the money Chavez gave the Kalinago people. He say it was used after Maria to help build back Dominica. Not one Kalinago person or business saw a dollar of that money. CBI revenue, the average Dominican is YET to touch a dollar of that money. thieves. But you want to advise Dominicans? Hmm. the only news Dominicans waiting for is if it have work that day

    Roosevelt warped mind is wandering again!
    Like an inebriated delirious man, he is babbling about protecting Dominicans from something. I supposed this thing is imaginary: if our people are resilient, the earth is resilient, agricultural plants and all the buildings in the country are resilient, everything can bend and return to their original form, what protection is needed?
    Roosevelt Skerrit is powerless to protect himself never mind protecting Dominicans.
    The only protection the people of Dominica needs is protection from the evils of that corrupted crook Roosevelt?
    He ran off his mouth about helping or assisting whoever needs help, meanwhile Dominica is the poorest island in the Western Hemisphere, that’s why all the displaced victims of the hurricane took shelter on other islands, not one went to Dominica.
    His slave masters Gonsalves and Mia has not asked anything of him because they know he is an all talk hand to mouth!
