The world’s biggest show pretending to be a Democracy and smoke screen for fiscal budgets. Why on earth do the citizens of DA allow this clown, who refers to himself as the PM of DA, to fool them on a daily basis. Even a 12 year old child can see through these wolves!
Joseph Isaac (Modern Day Judas) is a contortionist. He bends his person in unimaginable position even defying the Laws of Physics to please Mr. Skerrit.
Hypocrite, you dirty Hypocrite, you gonna pay the price someday.
I’ve just listened to a live parliamentary session from a neighboring island. The Ministers were answering questions put to them by the Opposition leader. There was no rancor, disrespect, frequent interruptions, insults nor jeering. It was so refreshing from what usually obtains in the fish market (parliament) in Dominica.
The Speaker executed her role impartially and seamlessly. This is exactly how a county should be governed and parliament should be presided over.
Well done Montserrat!
Don’t worry pal soon they will pass a law that if you do not speak English and stammer like Skerrit anything you say will be illegal.
or impuning improper motive or inciting unrest. Or whaever else they can come up with.
Dominicans your parliament is in disarray, the public service is dysfunctional, the economy is like a flat tire completely deflated, healthcare is abysmal, national security has turned into national insecurity. My point is simply this. Dominica is an abnormal place. The country under Skerrit’s stewardship is the WORST governed jurisdiction in the Western Hemisphere. Just watch the living standards of the majority of residents, the lack of infrastructural developments and sporting facilities for the youthful population, and the mushrooming homelessness.
A people gets exactly what they deserve in life. The docility and passivity of most Dominicans in light of the disrespectful and disparaging treatment meted out to them by the corrupt regime is mind-bogglingly astounding.
And Speaker cannot speak! Lord have mercy! While the Opposition makes a fool of themselves! Oh my God, Dominica lost!
I watched and listened to a bit of live parliamentary session a little while ago. It’s a circus. Decorum, decency, civility, veracity and sanity all flapped their wings and flew far away from inside that House.
The parliament is dysfunctional with this supremely unqualified Speaker bending the rules to please an audience of one (Mr. Skerrit
The Opposition Leader, Mr. Lennox Linton, was hardly allowed to complete a sentence by the buffoon in the Speaker’s chair and the unprincipled hungry hyenas.
The Dominica parliament has been reduced to a useless instrument. The non-stop interruptions, disrespect, buffoonery, and the lack of seriousness make the parliament a place where pigs go to frolic.
This House is not democratic. I hear the leader of the opposition blocked from challenging Skrit on his airport statement. You don’t have to be supporter of any to know this is wrong. Lennox Linton is muzzled in the house and ridiculed and he has more freedom of speech outside the House than outside. That is wicked and nasty. Right or wrong, let the man speak. You think is only a platform for Skrit then.
Different day same old pappy show. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit pronunciation and articulation is so poor! And they said he was an English teacher! Really?
Even when Mr. Skerrit reads a prepared script the man is ineloquent, incoherent and makes you cringe in embarrassment.
Over the airways someone publicly claimed to have assisted the double doctor with attaining his degree. I don’t know how true that is but judging from Mr. Skerrit’s inability to articulate fluently on any issue there has to be some credence to the allegation.
The man is supremely unfit and ill-equipped for the position he now holds.
