The Westminister model of government is remnant of feudalism that has failed Europe and other parts of the world that adopted it, it’s flawed. Only those that moved away from it and become dictatorships have been prosperous.
Our only salvation is to return to the model of democracy that Europeans dismantled and totally destroyed on the African continent and enslaved its People in the name of their god jesus, with devastating effect; where we’re stuck.
I encourage you to do just a little research on this before responding to this comment. Hint: it was age-based, and no nuclear weapons pointing at each other to maintain peace or civility.
@ Caribbean Dignity.
Well look bowdel.
Africans dressed as muslin running a Christian school? They were forced to drop their spirituality in exchange for a god in image and likeness of any foreigners with guns. Christians burned and shut down the Africans spirituality, held up 3 fingers and told them is 1 God, here we are today making mockery 💰 🤑. Get back to your Spirituality or fail.
Send them back to their own country
is there a Dominica Nigeria association in Nigeria?
Another UWP do nothing Booloukoo.Go read the constitution if you can read and you will see and know the President duties.No wonder Thompson Fontaine have all you empty headed ignorant BOO-LOU-KOO being arrested.
She hasn’t done a thing. And the reality is, a handpicked president doesn’t have to do anything; since the citizens cannot say that they voted for her and she has disappointed them. So lady, sit back and relax and take pictures. The tax payers have no choice but to pay you heftily while they continue to suck salt.
Sometimes I also doubt the effectiveness of the Westminster system. It could be a solution to have an Executive President following the Co-operative Republic of Guyana model: the PM and the President would be the same person.
