Dr Thompson Fontaine is MOT intelligent,he is NOT smart,he is educated.Outside of economics the guy is like a fish out of water.
Anytime me bray you are exposing his high level of stupidity.Boy you cannot touch Skerrit if all you handful of notorious liars want to win election.Lennox Linton told the idiotic and foolish me he was not involved in the Aljazeera investigation,they swallowed the liar’s bate right down to their stomach.It turned out Linton was playing the leading role in the Aljazeera investigation.All those a holes do is Skerrit this and Skerrit that,while they are buried up to their eyebrows in S_ _ t on q95 and in foolish town hall meetings.Mark is right.Which one is unity party?
The UWP does not need an armchair commentator. It needs a leader who is willing to roll up his sleeves, lace up his shoes, and one who is prepared to walk the streets and the back alleys, the dirt tracks, knock on every door, to sell and spread your message of hope for a brighter future regardless of political affiliation.
Your message should be that with the implementation of your policies political tribalism and victimization will come to an abrupt end. The national resources will be equitably distributed, jobs will be merit based, the civil service will be apolitical, corruption will never be tolerated regardless to social status.
Another commitment is the UWP will create the environment to unleash the
entrepreneurial spirit of the Dominican people.
This is nothing personal against Dr. Thomson Fontaine. The good doctor is quite intelligent but not a good leader. He acts asking though he is just an armchair
commentator. Someone more energetic, active, aggressive is…
Bipolar MEME UWP and their acolytes have been calling Skerrit corrupt and a liar for 21 years.The people are not listening so much so UWP cannot go to Hillsborough gardens village to campaign.They cannot go to the La Plaine,Jimmit,Castle Bruce,Georgetown,Plate Ma Pierre and Bathestate housing they cannot go to none of the housing projects to campaign.They cannot engage any of the 5,000 people in the NEP neither the 300 in the yes we care or the 2,700 getting $300 monthly.That is why UWP have to use town hall meetings and q95 they cannot engage to people one on one.You think UWP can talk BS to a poor person who was given a $250,000 house by Skerrit.The will send HOT WATER.
Are you stupid?Door to door where?Not in the FREE $250,00 $300,000 and $400,000 houses Skerrit gave to more than 6,000 people.They cannot talk to the 5,000 in the NEP,and they surely cannot talk to the 2,700 people who are receiving $300 monthly.Tresspass in the house that Skerrit built and when all you get what all you get,go on DNO and post bsAs Mike Wallace what happened to him in Bathestate.UWP cannot go house to house at least not Johnson Boston,not Nicholas George and for sure not Lennox Linton.It is those truths DNO fear to post.UWP is dead.Which political parties are going to form coalition in Dominica.UWP cannot win more than Marigot and Salisbury,and no other political party can win a single seat.That is a fact,that is the reality on the ground,next election will reflect the will of the people,it has been so since 2000.
That’s what i like to hear. Go out and meet the people, have caretakers in all 21 constituencies please, (you all don’t), making the people aware of the corruption that has infested the Skerrit Labour Party. Don’t forget to call Skerrit an inveterate liar. Dont forget our missing passport sales money. Those meetings should be held in all 21 constituencies within a stated time period.
When you all are forming the royal fool i criticize, (i will ALWAYS do that). When you are doing what is necessary i give plaudits.👏👏👏👏👏👏
MEME, let’s be brutally frank. Both of us are on the same wave length concerning the direction of the UWP or lack thereof under the ‘leadership’ of Thomson Fontaine.
The electors need to be inspired. Caretakers should have been already chosen/elected to each of the constituencies. Door to door campaigning should have been ongoing for the last two years to win the minds of the people.
People don’t vote in a vacuum. They have to be convinced that the UWP is a viable alternative government to the DLP. Campaigning is brushing and tough. Meet the eligible wherever they are. It could be in their houses, on the street corners, at the bus stops, parks, playfields, everywhere.
We want someone who is eloquent and charisma but a rabble rouser at the same time. Inertia is gripping the country as the main opposition appears to be indifferent and lackadaisical. When will the caretakers for the various constituencies be identified? Should have been two years ago.
When will you guys figure out that it’s going to take more than just criticizing Mr Skerrit to win an election? You have to show that you’re going to make a difference in the individual’s life before they’ll give you the opportunity to do so. Nothing short of that approach is going to work. Singing the same old song of all things “Doom and Gloom” on island is not going to cut it.
This is not rocket science so wake up from slumber land if you really want to win. First step is placing candidates in all the constituencies, second step is laying out your agenda for making life easier in Dominica and lastly, giving it your all, demonstrating that you really want to win while canvassing the constituencies.
@Mark
You lie.
UWP has never focussed on criticizing Skerrit only.
Your liar!
You hear what you want to hear?
Stop your lies.
Wa happened, your memory is failing you or what?
@Point
You are an idiot. You don’t understand basic english.
You are just as empty as

@ Mark, what you are suggesting requires hard and dedicated work something that the UWP seems to be incapable of. Give them everything they want in electoral reform and their is absolutely no guarantee that they can win an election when all the people hear from them is gloom and doom. Their whole plan seems to be based on finding the so called missing billions that Skerit and his cabal have hidden away in foreign banks, what if those billions never existed?!

Roosevelt’s lies must not go unchallenged. He and his sheep-like apologists send out scripts of falsehoods to the media on a daily basis. Lies become truth when they go unchallenged. Therefore, it is imperative that be called out for exactly what they are, LIES!
Why are you that silly, the UPW has done all that you suggested, https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/media-telecommunications/uwp-to-prioritize-engagement-with-the-people-as-party-sets-eye-on-next-general-election/ right now they are drowning and gasping on a straw. It is not what you like to hear, it is what the electorate wants to hear. The people of Dominica are not interested in what the UWP is proposing and worst of all their mischievous Operandi. during the process. What more does it take for you to understand the deceptive approach of The UWP actions during the electoral reform process, wow.
Are you real, Gary? A political party that is agitating for a level playing field with the electoral system, it is not seeking any sort of advantage, and you referring to them as deceptive? Do you even know the meaning of that specific adjective?
Anyway, your post is somewhat unfathomable. Are you suffering from verbal diarrhoea and mental constipation? Just asking.
The United Workers Party has given up on Dominica by boycotting elections instead support the Unity Party of Dominica https://unitypartyamerica.us/unity-party-dominica
A centrist party that will never give up on you!
@Andrew Gi.. stupid…
What’s the latest with this party? That’s what you call Dead On Arrival. WASTE OF TIME. Was it a branch of the DLP?
Am not coming out, but am listening from my Labour- infested hole…
Coalition governments seem ideal but only on paper. They usually don’t last for long. Egos get in the way over selfless governance.
The Caribbean is replete with examples of this. It was tried in T&T, St. Kitts & Nevis, Bermuda (etc) and they splintered into fragments.
