    Man tell Roosevelt carpon Skerrit.whar he afraid of? He knows he can’t help Dominica grow by an inch and he knows the people have lost tremendous confidence in him. So why he not resigning? He scared of going to a first class hotel room in the US, where some of his friends are now residing for the next 10, 20 or 30 yrs and designed for people like him and to be suited in a special uniform?

      Awa, so who will replace him as pm, do you see and hear the people around him, including the incumbent wife?
      Just be strategic and you’ll win him in an election. No one thought Trump would win Biden…. yet a landslide win?
