All overseas, International and regional, diasporas MUST be made to pay for their own fares to come to Dominica and vote.
ONLY local transport, to the nearest polling station, should take place on the island of Dominica for PRINCIPLE residents (who live on the island 100% of the time) who have no other means of transport available to them.
This is the only way to remove any notion of bribery.
Last night with that group of public so-called consultation was a joke, all I could hear was parrots and monkeys rapping and repeating the same old crazy Crap it was sooo stupid and boring I said to hell with that workers people talking absolute nonsense and making no sense at all my God who are these aliens and where do they belong.Having said that, when I saw who were appearing I wasn’t surprised it was going to be a UWP parrots and monkeys show.
Those same blue bugs talking about removing voters names from the registered voters list are the same ones against
(1)Skerrit giving Dominicans FREE houses from CBI money
(2)Skerrit paying 4,500 NEP monthly from CBI money
(3)Skerrit paying 2,700 senior citizens $300 monthly from CBI money
(4)Skerrit paying paying 300 Yes We Care workers monthly to take care of the most unfortunate.
That is commiting CRIMES against humanity.
Dominica belong to the people who built it after Maria with their blood,sweat and tears.We the PEOPLE will make electoral reform in the interest of the PEOPLE.If Skerrit introduce any voter ID card or if he remove any registered voter from the voters register,there will be a MASSIVE demonstration.If those arsonists,rogues,vagabonds and habitual criminals think they can do what they did on 07/02/17,the must know we will be waiting.When Maria destroyed Dominica those cursed sons of Satan kept a party and rejoiced.Today those same criminals talking about electoral reform.Electoral reform will happen when and how the PEOPLE say it will,and not a handful of blue rejected aholes.
.
That means it doesn’t belong to you, your government and your fellow Red ants. I told you before far from rebuilding our country all you Reds looted and thieved aid and sold it for your own benefit. Greedy corrupt Skerrit supporters.
Did you hear them singing for their super? All these shameless and spineless people singing in front of the CM. I’m speechless, I’m totally speechless.
You realized that Eddison came out of his retirement nest in a certain part of the world to make his presentation, do you? What was he singing for? What was so powerful in that consultation that it smoked him out of his hole? Use your brain!
Boy I listened to this so called consultation and I never thought Yolland Johnjules was so evil as a person that preaches Gods word on national radio. Swallow and Eustos Thomas are two of a kind. Swallow made a big fool of himself since as a person who claims to be born again person one would expect him to give some spiritual guidance; but imagine this man was worse than Eustus Thomas. people like him I just commit to Satan so others could learn
Just because they do not sing the same absurd tune as the UWPwee boys masquerading as “civil society?”
Johnjules loves those dimples and that’s enough motivation for her to speak nonsense like that. What a disgraceful woman.
Attending these bogus meetings and think positive things will happen is like fishing in a pond where nuclear waste has been dumped and think you would have a big catch.
By the way, does Dominica even have an active media association? To be honest, social media is a much better source of information. Most of the local media outlets only repeat the narratives of the ruling autocracy.
ADMIN: The shortcomings of news media notwithstanding, social media is certainly “better” for those who primarily seek to have their own views echoed back to them instantly with little to no challenge – because it keeps recommending the things that you like and have already viewed.
News media (especially in conjunction with an open forum like this one) is more likely to have opposing views that gives each person an opportunity to be informed or get closer to the truth.
DNO: “News media (especially in conjunction with an open forum like this one) is more likely to have opposing views that gives each person an opportunity to be informed or get closer to the truth.”
Surely, you jest! The nerve of some folks.
I don’t want to hear about this Pappy Show any longer. I had enough, this is just another one of Skerrits charades to bamboozle the Dominican public. First of all it’s none of his business to get involved in electoral reform in the first place. Secondly, they are not debating Byrons original draft. They are debating the second draft which was amended on the behest of Skerrit. Stop this nonsense now! Once again he is trying to sell all you a race horse but have a close look, it has a pair of long ears. It’s high time to kick the Horrible PM out of our country!
The only consultation I will attend is the one taking place on Wednesday afternoon. That’s where I will give my advice and I can assure Skerrit that my consultation will not end until he resigns or kicked out. I will be coming with my bed, my pillow, water, bread, pot and everything necessary for a productive conversation. Charles Savarins consultation lasted 47 days until all hell broke loose on PJ but I can assure Skerrit that his will not even last 20 days
Very good. If I was on island I would join you.
Waste of time, waste of resources and waste of talent because Roosevelt and his gang of Evil doers will not do anything good for Dominica because they have no damn interest in election and doing what’s right for the people. So instead of the Media, Church groups, Business Organizations, Youth Based Organizations Trade Unions, Sports Associations NGOs and other groups waste precious time with something that will go nowhere, it would be much better if all of them to join the walk on Wednesday afternoon to voice out their opinions and then there and only there we should all plan to turn this walk in the deliverance of Dominica by removing that Evil gang and then we will put our reform together and tell Skerrit, Byron and Tony to go to Hell with their kind of reform. We must understand that Skerrit is French, Byron in Kittician and Tony is Antiguan. They have no damn interest in our country except to fatten their pockets while we get poorer. So let’s all get them out!
My brothers and sisters give Roosevelt and his demonically lying apostles the cold shoulder. Let the venue be filled with his minions only. The people in charge of this bogus exercise are not seeking consultation but confrontation instead.
Let me remind you of my two often repeated refrains:
1. Everything said by Roosevelt is a LIE even ‘it’ and ‘is’.
2. Everything that King Liar does is for political expediency. (Recruitment of Dennis Byron, Having empty choreographed press conference, appointments of cultural ambassadors, wanting to bring CARICOM heads to Dominica, etc).
