Leader of the Opposition United Workers Party (UWP), Lennox Linton, has called on party supporters to advise opposition parliamentarians on how to perform their duties in light of what he describes as their “ridiculous” treatment in the country’s parliament .
Speaking on the UWP radio program on Q95FM Radio, Linton said the Opposition has been given the shorter end of the stick on more than one occasion and he is calling on the people who elected them to give them some advice on what to do.
“I have a problem. I have a serious problem and I want guidance from the people of Dominica especially the Marigot who I represent at the Linton parliament of Dominica because this is getting to be very ridiculous right now.”
Linton pointed out that UWP parliamentarians received notice for a meeting of the House of Assembly on the 26th of November 2015 on Saturday 14th November. He said one week before the meeting, on November 19th they received the order paper and the bills proposed to be dealt with at that sitting of the house and the questions that they submitted on Monday the 16th November, were not on the order paper.
According to him, the standing orders of the House of Assembly provide at section 11-3, that “not less than 12 days before the date of a sitting, the clerk of the House shall post or otherwise dispatch a notice of the sitting addressed to each member at his usual place of abode or such address as a member has registered with the clerk of the house as to that which he wishes such notice to be sent.”
He continued, “the Speaker of the House sticks to the minimum 12″ and then pointed to section 22-3 of the standing orders, which he says states that the reply to any question may be referred to the next meeting of the house unless the member asking the question shall have given not less than 14 clear days’ notice in writing of his intention to ask the same.
“So here you have a provision that if you do not get your question in 14 days before the sitting, that question is likely to be referred to the next sitting of parliament. So if you know that as speaker, and you’re the one setting the meeting for the parliament, you know that the members will need 14 days to get the question in to you. Why are you insisting on using the provision of 11-3 strictly as it is provided for, forgetting about the ‘may’ you are going for the ‘mandatory’ now, you going to say that there shall not be less than 12 days’ notice so you give me the bare 12,” he argued.
He lamented that “given the conduct of the speaker there is no way we can get questions into the current sitting of the parliament that may be relevant in terms of the time.”
He explained that because the country is not having sittings every month, after this sitting of parliament it could be months before another sitting is set and the questions that they have submitted could be no longer relevant.
“And we are saying that this is deliberate,” he said, adding that this is a ploy used to avert questions by the Opposition.
“I want the people of Marigot, the people we represent in parliament to guide us because this is getting extremely nonsensical right now……I am not a happy camper regarding those consistent machinations to stifle the opposition, to side-line the opposition, to ridicule the opposition, to denigrate the opposition, and basically to undermine the position of the parliamentary opposition in its work in the parliament of Dominica.”
The Opposition Leader had other concerns about the treatment meted out to opposition parliamentarians saying they are considered strangers, denied five minutes to wrap up their presentation, their time to contribute to a budget debate is shut down before time and given insufficient time to read and understand the recent Asset Management Corporation Act which was just passed, among others.
DNO’s attempts to contact Speaker Alix Boyd Knights have been unsuccessful but we will continue our efforts to seek comment from her on the matter.
in simple terms… its the rule that needs to change not the person. The house speaker is not the problem she is acting withing the rules. If you have a problem with the rules focus on changing the rules not attacking the person following the rules. Plus attacking people will not win you any friends because you have to work within and with the strength of others… making enemies with the speaker of the house will not make her help you. How can someone who thinks this way have any political saavy much less the ability to mingle politically with international leaders in support of running a country?
Instead of complaining about it and publicizing it… why didn’t you just put a motion in to amend the mandatory minimum from 12 to 16 day that way everyone has 2 extra days to formulate their questions. thats part of a normal system where you identify ares where there are weaknesses and offer or take steps to improve or strengthen.
the mindset of constantly opposing and accusing and pointing the finger will get you nowhere the world does not revolve around you. you don’t have the mind of someone who solves problems but one who complains about them and does nothing. either you change your mindset or step away so a real problem solver can take your place while you tell him/her all your problems.
Well said Hon. Linton. You and your colleagues are the most decent and honourable people in Parliament today. Please continue to stay focus in representing the oppressed people of Dominica from this corrupt led Skerrit.
We are awaiting an audit from the Director of Audit into the Bin and Fertiliser bobols…….question, who stole Dominica’s money……..The Minister of Finance must account and take responsibility and answer to us Dominica.
This is such a cunning statement made by Linton, the treat of a skilled manipulator.If you read between the lines he is seeking to get a consensus from his supporters to come out in large numbers for a demonstration causing political unrest. Why Linton does not understand, he needs to change his political strategy, you cannot be doing the same things over and over again and expect to get different results, such a strategy will lead to self destruction
The people who elected him did so because they understood he had vision and all the answers to move the country forward and now he is calling on them for answers, what a joke.What Linton needs to do is stop the shenanigan.
Thanks for raising these important points and observations. We need consensus to get rid of this wicked manipulative, cunning and skilled (bin) bobol government.
The vision of this leader and government has been to move the country forward to poverty, corruption and manipulation. Dominica is in poverty, we are broke, except those in high political office and we must ask the PM to clean it up, or is he able to?. One would need Dominica`s highest award to achieve this.
Wait! were these laws enacted recently? or they were on the books prior
to Mr Linton elected.I believe these laws may be outdated and needs revision
but to ask the constituents for help is all psychololgical
Lennox never ceases to amaze me!!!!!!!!! Bloggers read his comment below:
“He continued, “the Speaker of the House sticks to the minimum 12″ and then pointed to section 22-3 of the standing orders, which he says states that the reply to any question may be referred to the next meeting of the house unless the member asking the question shall have given not less than 14 clear days’ notice in writing of his intention to ask the same.”
He said “NOT LESS THAN 14 DAYS” This means he can submit his questions way in advance, like 20 days before….. He said the question may not be RELEVANT anymore, what does that mean???Lennox garcon ALL QUESTIONS YOU ASK SHOULD BE RELEVANT IRRESPECTIVE OF WHEN IT IS ANSWERED!!!!!! This article shows you off as the NOVICE you said you wereshame on you!!!!!! SMDFH!!!!
Thanks Lennox, keep up the good work, we are al amazed, some a blinded.
Continue to open our eyes….
Three years ago, I presented you a blue print on how to operate with the hon. Skerrit. What has become of it? You all sat down and WAITED till now it has become too late. Still want my advice? Call me at the same number.
HOTEP!
1. Why the people did not demonstrate for democracy, transparency, and corruption during the donors conference ?. I think that would have probably expose the regime.
2. Why the people did not demonstrate for democracy, transparency, and corruption during the OECS meeting recently held ?. I think that would have probably expose the regime.
3. Why didn’t the people create chaos a few days before those conferences, to the extend that the regime would be forced to postpone or relocate those conferences ?. I think that would give pause to those persons attending those conferences.
5. Why not file a formal complaint with all the organizations that Dominica is a part of (.i.e OECS, OAS, CARICOM, UN, etc.), expressing your concerns that democracy is being trampled ?. Why not have petitions signed and present those to these agencies ?.
6. You might be concerned that the police will rough of protesters, but you want that to be filmed and for the world to see what is taking place.
Lennox you do not want my honest opinions about what to do in this current climate. Plus DNO would not post. I will suggest this. Know the Constitution and procedures inside out, higher a good lawyer and take good records for evidence. The law is your friend use it wisely.
Hire
I need help too and on what the Leader of the Opposition is trying to tell us. Is he saying that the Speaker has changed the Rules in Parliament or is it that the Opposition does not want to follow the rules of Parliament? I believe it is the later.
For instance as I understand the rules of the House, it is the Majority in the House that agrees to give the extra time to the member and not the Speaker. Knowing that, and here is a piece of advice to the opposition arrange your contribution in such a way that you will not need extra time.
Formulate your contribution much better. Don’t come here and blame the Speaker or the Government. You know or should know that the Government side does not have to give you extra time. and the opposition cannot give you extra time.
Stop showing us you do not know the workings of parliament. We have one Government Cabinet. You are the opposition. Know that and use better time management. Where is the disrespect?
It seems to me that the standing order of the House of Assembly needs to be revised so that the two conditions are not in conflict.
It does not make any sense to allow the speaker of the house 12 days to notify the members of the house a date for a meeting and then require the opposition 14 days to submit their questions.
Some people only want their way. They see matters as they feel and what they should be to satisfy them.
Some people want others to change for them. They see matters as they are according to their mentality and not according to the rules and regulations and authority of others.
We cannot have it our way and our way alone. We must be considerate and compromise. How many people do that? Linton must comprehend that.
Furthermore, this is an opportunity for loyal and dedicated Labourites to get a good laugh at the Uneducated Wicked People in opposition. It is entertaining to see the level of weakness and incompetence of this failed party and empowering to know that we were justified and correct when we voted for our powerful and beloved Supreme Leader. Supporters of the Uneducated Wicked People are now saddened and disappointed at the choice they made last year. They are now realizing that their party is weak and can make no difference. Their party is just a set of men who has to stand aside and watch as the Supreme Leader and His Cabinet move our beloved Country forward. They (The Uneducated Wicked People) wants a piece of the glory and praise that our dear Supreme Leader receives but they are ineffective and irrelevant when it comes to any significant policies or issues in government. Their supporters are both coward and scared. It is quite laughable indeed. The best joke of 2015!
This naïve P.M has thoroughly demonstrated time and time again that he and his disciples are incapable of handling the affairs of state and they only occupy their positions of P.M and pal rep. for personal gain. The insane strategic maneuvers this pharaoh like creature adheres to enforce on poor Dominicans are similar to that of a pimp and a prostitute. While we the Dominican Israelites wallow in the mud pits, Mr. Pharaoh Sits in his multi-million dollar pyramid statehouse and rule from a far and rips the benefits while doing nothing to lighten our plight. Our daily lives continue to be dictated by a bully who keeps telling us we have to make more bricks with less straw; the equivalent of Skeritt commanding his slaves pay higher taxes with less income. It’s a shame that the pilgrims who come from overseas to vote him in are not the ones who are left behind to feel the whip lashes from this slave master. Erika pass, nine more plagues to go. Only then will we be freed
This article is quite laughable as it points out how incompetent and weak the “Novice” and his Uneducated Wicked People in opposition really are. The “Novice” is seeking assistance and advice from his blind and brainwashed supporters as to how to proceed in Parliament. Is this some kind of joke? The “Novice” should do the honourable thing and admit that he has no idea what he is doing in the House of Parliament and that he is a failed politician. The fact is that if our precious and ordained Supreme Leader calls on his people to come out there will be more than 30,000 loyal and faithful Labourites on the streets willing and ready to die for their beloved Leader. If, however, the “Novice” calls on his supporters all they will do is call a certain radio station and blah blah blah but not more than six to ten of them will come out to stand beside him. If that is not a sign of a failed politician, then what is? The Novice needs to resign as soon as possible. Go find a real…
It is a very good article, with good intention. We love it. Well done Lenox and the UWP
Is that a call for riot
send the first stone Mr Linton don’t hide in the shadows and expect to be a rear admiral
Yes it is unfair, but don’t blame the speaker. Blame it on your predecessors continued boycott of parliament that caused this situation to develop. You see the absence of the oppossition from parliament allowed the government to apply rules that favor them. So now that the oppossition is back in parliament a simple letter to the speaker stating your concerns could fix this situation. What were the questions that the oppossition had? Were any questions submitted?
As a reporter writing this piece instead of just a he said, she said or she says nothing you c/should have looked up the statutes being referred to and also provide an analysis of the issue.
Time to hit the streets bro. You have done enough talking and reached across the aisle as best you could. Call for demonstrations until the cabal leaves office..period! Boots on the ground time
Assertive, Never Aggressive!
Try it and get crushed under the Mighty Labour Power!!!!
I think should stay out of parliament until the speaker is gone
Or just retire and leave politics for good, Mr. Novice! It is the right thing for you to do.
The opposition tried that as a protest a few years ago. The only effect was that after missing three sessions, they were kicked out and had to win their seats again in by-elections.
we are living within a wicked and undemocratic system …like a mafia gang style as they did with the politicians in Italy
He is calling on Marigot people for guidiance I’m wandering when last he visited and socialize with them.
MIne, stay in your Lane. Lennox always visits Marigot , and socialized with his people.As recent as Yesterday . Bad minded.
don’t worry bro. all wickedness will be exposed and the wicked will be scattered. the Dominicans that support wrong doing will be like wolves on the same people they adore, worship and love more than Jesus himself.
Let`s boycott the parliament
Typical Uneducated Wicked People supporter response…how laughable and predictable!
Why do you think your questions will be irrelevant if not addressed immediately. Is it because they are questions questioning the pm or is it because they are questions questioning immediate actions and not long term actions. Well if this is the case go back to the drawing board. Secondly you should be ashamed asking the Dominica people for advise mr know it all. After you beat your chest like King K. U asking for our advice. Well aller sookway sac ou la ou vend Chabonne… All I have to say on the matter.
As demonic as the speaker maybe, we need to stop blaming her because she is not an elected member of the house. She was put in there by Skerrit, to help our democracy, but to do his dirty work. Therefore the problem is with the Skerrit . So Mr. Linton, you and your team are too clean to be in that mess. My advice is the opposition needs to resign and get out of Dominica, and let the people get ALL of what they deserve. They too damn wicked!
Get out of Dominica and go where? Where that team of failure can go? You see most of them run back Dominica shamefully after failing out there and now team up with the other failures of the team here.
Obviously democracy is dead in Dominica, stifled by Skerrit with the help of the Speaker. It is a charade. I suggest the opposition wear a black ribbon or armband next time they go to the House as a sign of mourning and remain totally silent till after the House has opened and then file out with dignity as a clear sign of protest at the futility of that House. Sometimes silence is more powerful than words spoken in vain brothers. Make sure the questions you have tabled are published in the press, here and abroad.
i like that
Those empty barrels make the most noise and cannot shut up with all the nonsense they talk. That would be nice if they did shut up but that wouldn’t happen.
\” Linton said the Opposition has been given the shorter end of the stick on more than one occasion and he is calling on the people who elected them to give them some advice on what to do.\”(Lennox Linton).
Lennox, there is nothing the people who elected the members of the opposition can do to change the status quo of the Labor Party!
The government does not want any opposition, all your supports can do is perhaps demonstrate in the streets, that will not help when in our country the opposition practically has no say in the running of the day to day running of the affairs in the country. You are powerless to do otherwise.
It simply this; whenever, a meeting of the parliament is called, the opposition under no circumstances should walk out of the parliament, it the oppositions duty to remain in the house whether you wish to support a Bill or not, debate it and let the nation judge the conduct of the ruling party Dominicans are not all ignorant, the will be the judge…
the only way is for supporters to take to the streets but everyone seem scared in this country so it is what it is
Seems scared? You Uneducated Wicked People supporters ARE scared!!! And Labourites are more than happy to see it finally being admitted in the Public Domain.
Labour of love stop, are u speaking for yourself?
My advice to Mr. Linton is that he makes a pledge to change the constitution so to avoid this kind of behavior by Speakers to come.
A few godly virtues to practice which will assist you and to get along in Parliament are, good communication, cooperation, compromising, respect and obedience to regulations whichever comes first. There are times you must relent. Know when you are right and when you are wrong. The problem is, you may think that you are always right and the other side is always wrong.
You may never be happy with any existing rules in Parliament. You will be blaming everyone as also the Speaker of the House but yourself.
You cannot always be in a fighting spirit. You should not bring up what is redundant but adhere to the – your present concerns of your constituents and as discussed in Parliament.
Imagine an employee hates the employer or supervisor, management in general. This person will never feel comfortable among them and being employed there.
The best thing to do is to fervently pray to God to assist you. The other alternative, if you are incapable of coping, resign.
So what is left to be done.
We tried free and fair elections…..the DLP dem robbed it….stole it
We try fairness in Parliament…they shut down parliament “just like that” …”abruptly”
We try joining in partnership with Cabinet upon invitation, we accepted and we are disrespected…no vision, no meetings etc.
We are called to parliament impromptu, just like that 24hours notice (forget Sunday),. Not the decency to share papers with UWP at least 5 days sooner. It is a rushed bill.
We try…we have tried….we continue try……..we will try again…but………..alas
The country to nice , we need a koolwash brigade. A peaceful one
Après Bondie Ce Later, mei tout govelmaye DLP voleur Dominique democracy
We have more guns on the street dan in the house
Good Lord! Is this what we are to go through for the next 4 years to come?
Linton keeps talking about questioning–why the questions; why not ideas that will be good for Dominica and her people. This sort of huffing and puffing is bad for our Dominica and the minds of our people.
Linton entered parliament on bad terms with the House Speaker and the Prime Minister; if his grievance is not against one it is against to other, and it sounds a lot like he is building mountains out of molehills .
What is he calling for, from the people of Marrigot–to help him to start a brawl at Parliament? This sounds so childish–in my opinion! Why won’t he start to put aside, all of those negative mentality of his mind–but then again “a leopard cannot change its skin” Help us O Lord!
100% on point! You are so insightful!!! No one could have said it better. A true Labourite has spoken!
Thank you!
And while I am at it–I need to tell you that you make me laugh when you write the “uneducated wicked people” Lol!
Your response and testimony is ridiculous and outdated,
Get a hold of the real situation in Dominica and analyse before you write such utter rubbish.
The leopards are in government fleecing Dominica and Dominicans.
You that Elizabeth had to link yourself to the most ignorant, most dumb person writing nonsense on DNO, that is a match made in hell, both of you are already burning in hell.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Elizabeth, boy I burnt you up in a piece, you are lucky DNO did not post it otherwise you would be silent for a whole year, you would have to change your birth name to escape that. Anyway, time will tell!
The day you insult me again I will level you like a pile of paper pulp, you little deep head.
And doh ask me what is a deep head because I doh know, when people cursing in Antigua that is what the call their enemy oui!
The role of the opposition is to keep the government in line and ask questions on the behalf of the state.it is highly unfair and immoral for the speaker of the house to block the opposition from demanding from the government answers. .
The Speaker of the house should comply with the constitution of Dominica that provide for the asking of questions in the house.
For to long this speaker has been blocking the opposition and shielding the government. ……
Such action on the part of the speaker is highly unacceptable and unjust and lacking charity or goodwill
Keep in mind, there are always two sides to a story.
I feel your pain, Mr. Linton, but the are asking the wrong person. Ridiculous as it sounds, you should ask Tony instead. I am sure you will not have a reply to your request by the Speaker or Skeritt. Within the next few days, I predict, Dominicans will hear the voice of Tony on one the radio stations like DBS or Kairi commenting on the matter.
Typo: you are asking.
Since when you don’t know what to do. You cannot copy and paste anymore? You always have a masterplan. What happen? You have all the bright LAWYERS on your team, all the academics, etc. London. Bridge falling down? Ha ha!
If you ask me I think it is Dominica that is falling down. I live near London Bridge and it is solid
One day Dominicans will need the advise of Mr Linton but I hope it won’t be too late, Stop putting party before country and put right where right is. The issue is not Mr Linton.
Stop trying to speak for Mr. Linton he is clearly asking his Marigot constituents for help in handling what appears to be a simple matter. It is no longer captain please tell me what to do but a call from the captain to his sailors/crew to mutiny
. If Linton is serious about representing the people of Marigot he should lead not asked to be lead.
@Just my advice…. do you even know what you are talking about? When a man who has been elected to represent people in parliament has run out of ideas to as to how to tarnish the good name of a seating PM, what do you expect? Lennox has never had any love for people so he is a mis-match…. now he is admitting that he is definitely not qualified for the job. Lennox has no understanding of how politics works… he got into this for all the wrong reasons hence his demise right now….. Lennox boy, get out while you can… this is definitely not your cup of tea!
…Then Kinta, you and your loyalists and this corrupt government are the ones with corrupt plan killing us into more poverty.
The answer is let’s take it to the streets…we need to stop the talking and put action in place .., we should not allow these ppl to take down our country anymore
When one decides to take it to the streets, one have to decide to take it to the extreme, it has to be organized in a way to be as effective as when Savarin took it to the streets in 1974 or there about when he overthrew Patrick John.
That I would not advised, since Democratic governments around the more developed world usually hesitates to deal with government who gain power by such alternatives. If that\’s the only alternative, the entire country must play a roll in the uprising!
And you do not start something like that unless you know the civil service, including the police is in your support. If the civil service gets involved that is the easiest way to cripple the country until Skerrit voluntaries his resignation, and that of his puppet government.
It will not be a surpise to take the street is their hobby.
When you do, please remember the Salisbury riots and uprisings. Remember how they were decisively crushed by Labour Power and know that the next time things will be much worse for anyone who foolishly believes they can defy our divine and ordained Supreme Leader!
Idiot, Patrick John had more fire power than what that little Mountain Chicken may have! John even had the American murderous KKK behind him, yet he went down. Give Charles Savarin all the credit for that.
Guns and ammunition is one thing, but when people decides to sacrifice their life\’s by walking into the bullets, the dictator will be the looser, because if he kill even half of the country, the other half will eventually turn on him, hence he will have nothing to govern, even if he escape with his life!
In a riot, or civil war the government does not have any real advantage, the members of the government can also loose their life. Have you ever thought about that. You are boosting over what Skerrit did to a bunch of old people, comprising of old women and children? If you are knowledgeable of thiamin Square You will remember a less than five feet Chines stood in front an armored battalion of tanks and stop them dead in their tracks! Keep it going boy, you and Skerrit will…
Linton has the Speaker broken the law ??? You’re clearly not with it. You moan about the Government continuously and they’re so used to your continuous winging that they just get on with the job at hand. You’ve clearly admitted that you’re totally incapable of leading your Party by turning to your supporters for advice. You’ve rightfully admitted that you’re politically bankrupt and you should now do the decent thing and resign!!!
@Cyrique November 22, 2015
This is good one!
If Lennox does not have the answers on behalf of the people of his constituency, who does. They put him in Parliament to speak on their behalf all in all–but he needs social etiquette to do so. Could it be that he doesn’t present himself with such attributes–the reason he is being ignored,
The Prime Minister must resign in 30 DAYS, or he must do this, that, and the other thing IMMEDIATELY Lennox seems to think that he is the Primary Leader of Dominica–but he isn’t’ that is the torture of his mind, which him alone can overcome–if that can ever be done
When Lennox is asking the people who voted him in to tell him what to do, in his time of so-called crisis; does he expect that they will vote at the next election? After all!
Elizabeth, you are a welfare queen in Canada, you never work one day in your miserable life in Canada, all you do is sit down and collect welfare from the government. You said I am a parasite; okay I accept I am because I am living off your blood!
Nevertheless, I know how to work, you do not!
All you look forward to is to get your welfare check at the end of each month from the government, they make you stand in the welfare line and beg. Lennox does not have to do that; neither me! You are a human leach living on the Canadian government, you sucking the taxpayers of Canada blood!
What is the difference of a parasite and a leach? ( I is parasite: you is leach)!
Parasite = one who exploits the hospitality of the rich and earns welcome by flattery.
Leach = that thing we find in swamps in Dominica: main purpose; remove nutritive, or harmful elements from the soil by percolation, when they stick humans they do the same: Who the heck is Skerrit that Lennox cannot suggest…
Who the heck is Skerrit that Lennox cannot suggest he resigns, maybe if he resign Colgate-Palmolive might change their mind from pulling out of Dominica, and all the rest who left and some like Brisbane may start operating again.
You ad Facts, and some stupid Dominicans worship Skerrit like a god. Skerrit is nothing, he is a nobody! Without politics, he is nothing, he could not make a living in Dominica, never mind out Dominica. Your teaching career commenced at age twelve, and ended at age twelve, you are a dunce, who do not know what he is doing, all he can do is sell passports, and thief all the money, rich like hell, and you poor like a church mouse talking about Lennox.
Get a job Elizabeth, I have one working for me you do not have one, and Skerrit not going to call you back to teach; you think I doh know dat is what singing for? You see what you get for calling me a parasite, cockroach, lizard and rodents like rats!
Hahahaahahhahhahahahaahahahaha!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque November 24, 2015
I do not care about your definition for parasite–mine tells me that you are a vermin which is the rat, mouse, cockroach, worm, snake among the others. You are part of every one of those, and the others.
Also lying and cheating is your way of existence; you cannot survive without those traits you should be ashamed of yourself for being so damn coward and weak–for you have nothing against me without lying.
You nastily lied pertaining to the things your said about me here–but I am not surprised; as I have said before, you have no character of a human being–you are not one of us
That is my regret but you would have done the same thing otherwise, because you are just not human.
You have not spoken about me here; but continue with your disgusting lies, if that is your food–you are no difference from the man who slaughtered his girlfriend in the above news article; I will say that you are worse than him.
I realized the call is for uwp supporters and since I am not a supporter of any political party, I don’t know if my advice will be considered. But as a lover of country, my advise to Mr. Linton is to withdraw himself from the mess of Dominicans and allow the people to fight for their freedom if they really care about their future. I think Mr. Linton has played is part in trying to restore democracy and good governance, and that he has most times stood alone. If the people do not want to defend their freedom, then Lennox should just pack his bag and to hell with Dominica. You can’t stand alone sir, sorry.
He wants to stand alone becuse he wants to be lawyer, judge and jury. He made his own mess.
Lennox is playing a political game he is not capable of managing. He spends way to much time trying to be articulate with big words which alienate him even more from ordinary people. His arrogance has won him few marginal friends so now he stuck he asking people. He is not the real deal. UWP needs a new leader and a new way of challenging the government. He stuck so now is “Check mate” they frustrating him out of a job.
Well said Concerned! Lennox Linton does not realise that his constant senseless attack on the Prime Minister is doing his image more harm than good… but that is all he knows how to do so after all his efforts to tarnish the PM has failed, he is now asking for help, to do what? The people elected you to represent them and now are asking them how to do your job? Lennox is slowly burying his own self…. my advice to you Lennox is stop attacking the PM and go walk the streets of Marigot and come up with some viable projects and/or programs to move the constituency forward. Get to work on bringing development to your constituency…. it is the right thing to do and leave the PM alone…. you are not god Lennox!
@concerned November 23, 2015
Very well said! I could not have said better
