ISAAC: Electoral reform is ‘a red herring’ for the opposition

Joseph Isaac, as Minister for Climate Resilience and Urban Renewal, at a government function 

Minister for Climate Resilience and Urban Renewal Joseph Isaac is lending his voice to those who believe that electoral reform is not an urgent requirement for free and fair elections in Dominica.

Isaac said on the radio programme, Focus on Government and Development that political parties in Dominica have won elections in a system which has served the country well.

He said while there may be room for improvement in anything that the country does, he believes that the topic of electoral reform is simply a red herring for the opposition and they’re grabbing at straws.

“Joshua Francis said to the opposition that, that is not a big agenda for him. He won his seat without electoral reform. I, myself, won my seat without electoral reform,” he stated. “Governments have changed for many years without electoral reform that they asking for.”

The United Workers Party (UWP), the Dominica Freedom Party (DFP) and the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) have all won elections without electoral reform, Isaac pointed out.

“Freedom Party came in, they won, same electoral laws, same thing. Labour came in they won. Workers actually won some seats that they did not actually have without the same electoral reform they talking about so they are just looking for something to talk about,” Isaac maintains.

He is of the view that the voters and the people in the country are not concerned about what the opposition is asking for.

“When you talk to voters and people in the country, they are not too concerned about that. So, if all parties could win with the same laws in place, the last election they actually won seats and took it from the labour party, so what are they talking about?” the former UWP member of parliament asked.

Isaac said amendments to the election laws were taken to the parliament but it was the opposition who did not show an interest in debating the amendments.

    From this man’s words, actions and track record, the UWP should be celebrating the guy’s departure from the party. He’s a huge embarrassment to the country. I’ve heard older folks remark, “You never see fowl bottom until the wind blows.” This should send shivers up one’s spine to witness how low money and position can cause a person to stoop. Joseph Isaac has reduced himself to a shameless panderer.

    Why are the uwp gang so afraid of Joseph Isaac? Does he know something that is hidden by them, Something sneaky and detrimental to their credibility and approval ratings?
    Remember how they came out on Sam Raphael? Was it because of the information he gave about the CBI programme ?
    Maybe both these victims of their hatred will divulge more information when the campaign starts for real. Its going to be hot, hot,hot for so. The fire is going to fall on those blue bubble blowers. Just you wait.

    Most Dominicans on both sides of the political aisle hold Joseph Isaac in very low esteem. A traitor can never be trusted as his only loyalty is to himself for the money he can hoard. What he did, by switching parties for monetary gains, amounts to political prostitution. He is, without a scintilla of doubt, a political rental boy to the highest bidder. This atrocious human being is in politics strictly for personal gains. The people’s wellbeing doesn’t even cross his mind for a minute. Traitor, imposter, fraudster, con artist, double dealer, hoaxer is Joseph ‘Hoodwinker’ Isaac.

    You used to have a Nokia and a Motorola flip making calls and the calls were going on just fine. HOWEVER, time has given us new ways to do things, improvements , faster better. The internet at your home is not what it was 10 years ago, the cars not are not the same from 20 years ago, the way you build houses now is not the same way from 20 years ago. The way education is provided on tablets is not the same way it was 30 years ago. And I can go on.

    But when electoral reform is mentioned, Oh the freedom party won with that same way 30 years ago, X party won 100 years ago. True, but a system this old can be exploited many ways that it couldn’t have been exploited in the past. There are things you could do 30 years ago and get away with it but you can’t do it now because of how technology and other areas of the world has advanced. Come on Issac, for a man people boast of having degrees, this is the point you making? I would wash you so bad in a debate if you tell me that garbage

      Feller you are talking about a supporter? a regular joe who approves the messages of the uwp. Now how do you know how much they paid for their house? are you their accountant? or their loan officer? Dominicans always want to think they know people business but they never know theirs. Now …… like you Mr. Clown fail to realize that the uwp of 20 years ago isnt the same as today. totally different players. Same as the DLP of 40 years ago. You act like you forgot the DLP had tried to sell the country to KKK operatives and all other sorts of corruption. but people not checking that because we know PJ not running for politics, just like how Earl, and Edison and the rest of the UWP from 1995 are NOT running. But you fools still living in 25 years ago acting like it is the same people going up for elections. When we speak about the dlp’s non performance we dont mention PJ. We speak about relevant issues of the day and mention SKERRIT, BLACKMORE and the rest. So take your cool out and go.

    My people of Dominica, I want you to read the nonsensical BS, penned by this confused Joseph Issac.
    “This failed confused Joseph Isaac, as Minister for Climate Resilience and Urban Renewal, at a government function….”
    “he believes that the topic of electoral reform is simply a red herring for the opposition and they’re grabbing at straws.”
    Issac , you have placed yourself into the political corrupted abyss of inept Skerrit, so you stay there and take it. You soon will be out of this position that you hold. Your colours have been changed for the worse, this dangerous Red Clinic Koolaid. Enjoy t while it lasts. To hang around Failed Skerrit means that you have also compromised your reputation and what yo stood for under UP, re the decency in poitcs and governance. You are now in the company of failed bedfellows. Enjoy it while it last, but that stain you brought to yourself will live with you for a very long time. The most dangerous pickled red pill in your company is Skerrit…

    Issac, come clean and tell us really what is it you are talking about. From the time you exit yourself from the decent UWP, under trusted professional Hon Lennox Linton, you have been talking alot BS, nonsense to secure you in the abyss of failed Skerrit and his corrupt DLP. When you were with UWP, you spoke out loud in principle and people listened to you . Today, now, no one cares and respect you, nor acknowledge what you say because of the nature of your desperation to go over to failed corrupt Skerrit`s government. That is how you have reduced yourself to nothing and amoung the failed jokers like Skerrit and others. Your fake party with this failed Skerrit will lose the election and you will disappear onto the abys and stay out of Dominica’s politics and government. You have betrayed us and you ran across to the immature Skerrit and his failed Corrupt Labour government. You put Skerrit first above our people. UWP,…

    Electoral reform is necessary in 2019 considering all that has been going on in our general elections for the past 15 years. The corrupt strategies adopted by this Government to win elections were never used by other political parties in Dominica.

    Joseph Isaac it is time you relax and do some reflection on yourself.

    The arguments against electoral reforms put forth by Modern Day Judas are those of a Grade Sixer of average intellectual ability. To appoint this simpleton as a Minister of government is deeply troubling. What obtains yesterday, more than likely, is irrelevant today. Government is not static, it’s dynamic. Now it’s pellucid as to the reason he ruined the once thriving bakery. This imposter will also do to the DLP what he did to the bakery. Harnessing money for himself is the imposter’s sole objective. For him, he’s not even remotely concerned about the wellbeing of others. This guy is dismissing the findings of at least two reputable organizations, the Commonwealth and the OAS, to please an audience of one man, Skerrit. He, Judas, has further reduced himself to just a pathetic idiot.

    Clearly the DLP wants NO CHANGE in the Electoral System no matter how messed up it may be..The intention is to maintain the status quo as it has worked in DLP favour and forget about anything called voter ID cards or cleansing of the voters lists.. The questions then are   what are civil organisations and the political opposition groups going to do now in face of stalemate and after all the discussions on the subject.  Is there a working strategy and actions to achieve electoral reform in face of stone walling by DLP, their acolytes like Tony Astaphan and his ilk  and the Electoral Commission

    Hey Judas, Issac, you said that it’s only the opposition that’s interested in electoral reform. Well, I ace news for you Judas because the Pope and the Bishop of Roseau, the business community and decent Dominicans all want electoral reform. Two reports following the last two elections called for electoral reform and Skerritt gave his word that this will receive urgent attention before the next election. We know what Skerritt’s word is worth based on the number if times he’s promised an international airport. You say that the opposition was not present that’s why the amendments proposed by the government were not passed. How about the number if times the opposition walked out if Parliament and the inept government went ahead and passed the legislation it wanted. Stop giving us this lame excuse Judas. Electoral reform is bit a red herring. Ask Pope Francis and the Bishop and all concerned citizens and patriots. You and your corrupt Labor Party are out on a limb on this one.

    Now, your taste has shifted to a group filthy stained corrupted bedfellows and that is where, it appears you now stand, but at the same time you are derelict and out staged because we know that you are not comfortable where you are among a bunch of corrupted Labour people with a stench of fraudulent behaviour and illiteracy to the decency of good government. That`s what you pledged when you joined the decent UWP. You are now stained with filthy political behaviour as you hang about with failed Skerrit and that corrupt Labour government, as you told us loudly. What is it you want from Skerrit? Cash, love, affiliation, a job, to be a minister that you thought and had no confidence that your UWP would not make it? Well, smell the stench, you know nice Skerrit and his corrupt Labour failed Government have lost.

    The electoral reform should not be made political, I think it’s something which demonstrates maturity as a society and even a political system but it’s being used as a tool of leverage through the importation of voters, manipulation of the demographics. It’s clear that something has to be done…

    Mr. Isaac when you were with Workers you were more fluent and coherent since you left the party in the unceremonious manner that you did is pawol sot alone you talking bro.

    We agree that previous parties won without electoral reform however you have stated clearly in several media presentation and on the public record that electoral reform was of necessity since Skerrit took election campaign and winning elections to a new low. You remember how empathetically you expressed all the reasons why SKERRIT MUST GO? Joseph Isaac if you recall a statement that you made about DLP offering you a cool out (aka a bribe) and string you along until closer to election to release it so they can influence your vote?

    Joseph Isaac you are a very dishonest and politically unintelligent person. You continue to seal your political fate with every comment that you make on the political debate. I leave you with the words of another international wet like yourself; JI can buy, he can sell but he will…

     I must say in this case he is ignorant of the comments he made prior to the following.

    “He said while there may be room for improvement in anything that the country does, he believes that the topic of electoral reform is simply a red herring for the opposition and they’re grabbing at straws.”

    He has ultimately contradicted himself, and that is one of the traits of people who are delusional, disoriented and lives in confusion!

    If calling for electoral reform to him now is a red herring; that only proves the man is a confounded hypocrite, because while he was in the opposition before he sold out, sold his corrupted soul for money, bought by Roosevelt Skerrit, he pushed for electoral reform.

    Why would anybody in the country, even his immediate family vote for a boy like that, one with no human morals or dignity?

Election reform might not have been of importance 20 years ago, but might just be necessary now. The days when a cask of rum could buy votes are gone. We are in a technically more advanced society were something as simple as voters ID cards can aid in facilitating a more fair election process. Government ministers need to present themselves as being capable of governing rather than open their mouths and spew ignorance.

My advice to you is to get out and be that intellectual you are. From the time you link up to this fail political clown Skerrit, you are the one laughing at yourself. You abandoned the credibility within the UWP Team and you had the guts and blind loyalty to hook up and position yourself well within the company of Skerrit?

It’s very possible that he may lose his deposit. Joseph Isaac, Blackmoore and Charles Savarin are the three most hated and unpopular scumbags in Dominica.
