Green concerned about rumours of snap general elections

UWP political leader Ron Green

Political Leader of the United Workers Party Ron Green is raising concern over what he says is the possibility of the  Dominica Labour Party calling snap general elections anytime from now, in their bid to wipe out a number of court matters which they face.

Green, who was speaking at the seventh session of the People’s Parliament in the Kalinago Territory last night, said that snap elections is one of the newest threats to Dominica’s democracy.

“There is a new threat and we have seen signs of it…Yesterday, more signs again in Laplaine – and this new threat is the possibility brothers and sisters of a snap general elections being called by the Skerrit-led Labour Party in the next few weeks or months,” he said.

“A snap general elections to do what? Just one year ago we had general elections. They claimed 18-3 – a resounding victory. Why would they be considering a snap general election now? The main reason would be in an attempt to wipe out the court cases that we have right now – the case of allegations, the case of allegiance to France of the prime minister …and Petter Saint Jean. The case of bribery that we have in the court, the case of unfair access to state media. All of these matters we are told by our lawyers if there is a snap general elections they will be wiped out of the court,” he added.

He urged supporters to be on their guard “because overall our country is in bad shape.”

    Would anyone be suprised to know that UWP is the source of this Rumour which the UWP leader is concerned about?

    I think not!

    Boy if is one man I know that does read every post of Patat on DNO is one Mr. Green.

    I not lying but I does make one Mr. Green spend plenty money on cell phone calls an call plenty emergency meetings.

    If is one thing , UWP does not take chances when Patat post something.

    When Skerrit make patat a Senator in d House after d April 2011 election and put Patat a Minister is then all you will know the election rumor was true.

    Party calling snap general elections anytime from now, in their bid to wipe out a number of court matters which they face.( Ron Green)

    I am convinced that Green has probably gone mad!

    I do not see how calling a snap general election will wipe out any court matters pending in the courts of Dominica!

    And beside Green should be happy that a snap election would be called since he believes he was robbed in his constituency, this snap election should give him a chance to become prime minister for one day in his life since that is his ultimate goal.

    Ron, it is all over for you politically!

    Play senator, as you are allowed to right now, however, by the time the secession is over, you will have to face the reality that you will be so senile; by then Edison, Spags, and the UWP, will declare you redundant!

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

    Go home Ron, go home!

    The Dominican people are ready for new elections since it is clean, free and fair. We have seen the next level and we do not like it. We are afraid of it.

    I read an earlier comment where a reader said that the comments posted here can in no way help to shape policy in Dominica. I beg to differ with that person. My analysis of the commentators on this board concluded that there are many persons who write bull-crap, many who will support their party with poisonous venom regardless of whether the position taken is popular or not.

    However, many others provide sound and intelligent advice lending towards healing of the nation. If our leaders take time to read the comments they will definitely learn about their negative ways, shortcomings and errors.

    This goes for both government and opposition. From time to time government ministers and opposition leaders make rash and irresponsible statements and are criticised constructively, maliciously and negatively. What needs to be done is to read the comments with a sifter in order to pick sense of out nonesense and positive from the negatives.

      Love your statement. Wish there was more Dominicans like u out there. Right now when I read I feel like some of us just have no sense. And I feel a bit ashamed to be honest. And as for politics, I think Ron and his party should really come here with some policies and stop attacking skerrit. Build his party and show his future for Dominica. How he going to bring us there rather than just saying stuff every week. If his statement are true he should take them to court and then tell the public. We need positive criticism and positive debates. Only then, when Ron calm down and keep. Hallenhing for open debates we will ge the plans for the country. And live tv debates would do just fine

    New elections was one of the demands of the UWP right after the last general elections. The UWP had complained about election fraud, bribery and other charges harboring on the elections not being free and fair.

    So if there are rumors of a snap election being called the UWP should be happy for that because this they had asked for.

    The best thing for the UWP to do right know is to rally for the government to implement the electoral reform recommendations made by the Caribbean observer group that monitored the last elections i.e purge and generate a new voters list and assign ID cards to voters.

    If the government fails to do so then Mr. Green, his party and his supporters will have a legitimate complain and will have the backing of the Caribbean community and others. They the UWP will have every right to not only protest but to boycott the elections entirely.

    Then if the government proceeds with the elections which ofcourse the Labor party will be the defacto winner, then a constitutional crisis will follow. Therefore, if the UWP really believes that a snap election is in the making they should immediately start doing their home work and stop bickering.

    What if the PM calls snap elections, will other parties be ready? For months now the UWP has been talking and talking about the last elections and their court cases. How is the party getting ready for the next elections, whether or not they are this year, or in 4 years time? What is the level of organization? Do they have candidates in each constituency? Are they running leadership development programs and seminars to build their leadership skills? Are they on the ground listening to peoples ideas for moving the country forward? Are they developing their website to keep people informed of their work? Have they reached out to the Diaspora to assist with projects? The opposition parties need to pull up their sleeves, put on some heavy duty boots, and start stomping the ground. Get ready …dont get caught with their pants down.

    I just wish that they would just get on with bein opposition leaders. Stop making allegations and if you do, take it to court rather than exposing it in public first. Build your party and hold elections. It’s obvious to everyone in Dca and the diaspora that skerrit n dlp is the more popular party in Dca. Not that I support em but I’m just a fair person. It’s the truth.

    Uwp concentrate too much on making skerrit look bad that they lookin like fools themselves. And skerrit is actually looking great! I mean plan and build good policies. That good politics. Not slandering. I want to hear policies, I want maps and roads for the future. How the people getting jobs after education and how the tourism and agriculture going to grow and be revitalized.

    That’s politics. No he say she say they say and then we all say and hey hey.

    Both uwp and dlp killing the country with this sh*t!

Mr. St. Jean is not even in the country! Just now Ron will see monkeys climbing his walls. Such entrenched paraonioa. And guess what? He wants to put that same crap into the few remaining UWP supporters!

    If i was Mr.Green,i would think before saying.It has happened before and to all the opposition members.What if that is a lie? how will you feel Mr. Green? I feel sorry for you when you come under fire for making these silly comments.I remember reading something from SPRAGHETTI JOHN and 20 minutes later,the matter was cleared because he misunderstood the statement.I think there is an insider feeding you guys with rubbish,just to make you guys tick and clown about.It is foolish to jump to everything you hear.I feel sorry for the UWP clan.In all honesty,i cannot vote you guys…. what will i be doing?You guys are indeceisive and troubled,i feel hatred and anger,fear and venom.It is really not nice to read all those premature statements and interuption of peace in this lovely country.Mr.Green,let the others open their clappers,but you don’t say another word,because comments i read after your statements,makes me very sad.Choose your words carefully and wisely. Maybe retire.

    So fed up of Dca politics. It’s been two years of allegations. So fed up. Spend time on building your party and their plans for the country. Reveal them. Drill it in people’s heads. Then say it over and over like the allegations. Show your map for the future. If you did that from since u lost then snap elections would be fine by u. The more u attack skerrit, the more popular u make him. Just leave the man alone and concentrate on you plans. Build something worth voting for.

    The more u allege things, the worse your party looks. Actually looking uneducated right now Ron.

      you make some sense but if you were clever dont you see nothing works in dominica once a country is corrupted is keeps a cloud of ignornace and negative growth…so cant serve to masters bro…thats why dominica has excelled in being a double standard island….are you spirtual if something is wrong you cant case it aside for being right…

      its only in dominica he could be still in office…is shows that dominicans dont care too much they settle for less at all sectors once they get a bite either small.medium or big thats all…

      dominica and dominicans dont set high goals and hold foilks and institutions accountable..

      jhow you expect a island to excell when one senior counsel runs the show..keeps the slavery aspect still alive in terms of misleading and keeping your minds set to please his cause..

      dominican lacks any depth at all..their proffessionals dont have any class, many policy makers dont care much about how upper levels is like a animal farm..

      look at more spin issues your so called illegal PM speaks about hotel for crew to be close by and lobg drive to Roseau but yet the hotel is moved to Portsmouth without no statement of truth and facts to the people,all they do is just say thank God…

      i would NEVER NEVER encourage anyone with investments plans to every show interest in Dominica as Dominicans are real and they dont stand for Justice….this island is a place for retired folks from UK and US…..Dominica is not heatly in any aspects thats a fact take it to the Bank!

    Well let’s sit on our laurels and criticize Ron Green from now till Kingdom come, this is not going to change a thing.

    The country is being governed poorly, health care in crisis, unemployment on its all time high, tourism is not promising, services are nowhere, agriculture has been burried, drugs and violence is increasing, our justice system is questionable and our democracy is under attack. Yet we sit and criticize Ron for simply speaking out loud of some disturbing rumour.

    Burry all you head as deep as all you would like in the sand, and support stupidness for no real reason and turn around tomorrow when things not working out and blame everyone and everything else but yourselves.

    elections snap or in before 2015 or in 2015…doesnt make much of a difference dominicans are patrotic at all..they care about a young PM giving them hands outs and keeping the upper class system up…

    Dominica will never be a fore runner in the caribbean….thats why no Major Investor will ever embark on anything Large scale in Dominica…

    the ignorance level is so damm High in Dominica..the churches are uphold it as being spirtual..

    its a major struggle to clean Dominica up…all i repeat all their sectors have major issue when it comes to standards and accountability….its a massive Joke…

    so the wise thing is dont fuss and leave Dominica and Dominicans in the beloved Corruption which they cherish till Death……Best advice and its on its way folks who are for clean and justice aspects is to migrate to areas both in the caribbean and further out…where the rule of law and standards are practice and justic is dealt with when its being breach..

    Lennox is just wasting his precious time every saturday preaching nothing will ever come out of what he is doing as the citizens are too timid cowards and only hide behind the comfort of their homes to call….

    Lennox please dont waste your time,Dominicans dislike folks who try to bring light to darkness!!

  28. Speak the Truth always
    January 28, 2011

    You all may spew hatred of Ron as you wish but Dominica has never seen a ‘Leader’ now illegal, like Skerritt holding high office who is consistently embroiled in so many controversial illegal acts. Skerritt could never possess the honesty, integrity, capability and wisdom of Ron. Where in Dominica’s history that a leader has lied so often to his people? When in Dominica has it been proven, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that a leader has used Public Office to gain so much wealth in so quick a time? Who OWNS the VILLAS? RON? SKERRITT? BUBBLES? YOU? MALIN? So stop running away from the truth.

    First time in Dominica’s history we are witnessing an ILLEGAL LEADER of the country because of him disobeying the law on NOMINATION DAY. Skerritt knew all along that he possessed DUAL CITIZENSHIP, yet he deliberately entered the race, LIED to the T, even boasting that NO LAW, NO CONSTITUTION, NO LAWYER could PREVENT him from being NOMINATED. That illegal Leader filled a Nomination Form, took his time, read the instructions, must have read that he could be fined and/or jailed for LYING on that Form, yet LIED to the Electoral Commission, Dominicans and the world. SKerritt and his mouthpiece are now trying all kinds of tactics, all kinds of political interference, aided and abetted by some persons in the Judicial System to turn and twist the facts and the court.

    No right- thinking Dominicans should be surprised at the attitudes of some of our fellow men and women to attempt to demonise the messenger. Some will chastise and do not even want people to speak against those corrupt practices. Skerrit and his cohorts will try anything to put a SPOKE in the WHEEL of JUSTICE. That DUAL CITIZENSHIP case is a classic. That case is HISTORIC and Dominicans must keep their EYES and EARS wide OPEN. All Dominicans know that Skerritt did possess a FRENCH PASSPORT, so he had allegiance to a foreign country at the time and disrespected the Law BIG TIME. Have you all heard Ron in any of those irresponsible, controversial acts that Skerritt is involved in? I could name a TON of illegalities that Skerritt has been involved in directly or indirectly. The truth is a stubborn thing to accept. Speak the truth. Let the Truth set you all Free.

    I don’t really care much for what anyone says about Skerritt – but i must say, that man has some brains! He has outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted the UWP. He is a survivor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much Skerritt does, it’s always the UWP who comes out looking the weaker party!

    Skerritt says nothing, and the UWP makes asses of themselves.

    Skerritt speaks, and the UWP still make asses of themselves.

    So….. one of the most important lessons which I am taking out of this – Skerritt is a powerful man, who seems to have gotten his strength on the back of the UWP.

    It’s like the game of survivor – you don’t need to be the strongest, most physical person… you need to also play a social game, and by the looks of it, the 18-3 was the social game.

    It seems that Skerro is working the people while the UWP is trying to work Skerro!!!

    But at the end of the day – Skerro cannot make the UWP win elections, it’s the people!

Where in the western world u can hear a prime minister getting away with so much nonsense, spending tax payers money for night landing, NO LIGHT LANDING, having dual-citizenship and not resigning, just because we have some people receiving handouts whether it is jobs or favors they all quiet, u see why we are the second poorest in the OECS.

    Im suggesting to Green/ UWP and DFP dont concern yourselves just get boots on the ground get yourselves in position go out and preach the messages of electorial reform ID cards and the level of crime and corruption on the Island plus much more issues out there go to all the villages and above all telll us Dominicans what your parties can do to change things around you all cannot run for election just on the fact PM had a french citizennship when he ran for election you all have to do better than that get moving do your own research.
    I also believe after the election if at all it does take place both parites should consider joining as one it’s time that both parties know that seperately they will not make it puting Dominica and its peoples first we the Dominican people deserve a better and stronger Oppersition party make one party from all those who get elected from both side and form a new Opposition party and once and for all deal with the matters that are plaguing our lovely Dominica.
    As Dominicans we have to realized that corruption have reached in every GOVT institutions and some private businesses on the Island and we should not be surprised that the COURTS and the court system is included the Justices and some Magistrates all of which believe they can do as they want dragging out cases for years which is ridiculous all of that got to stop.
    UWP and DFP come together and make one Opposition party because now that Mr.James have resigned this being his last term he was the only person so far to get under the PM and his party skins you have to find someone as strong or even stronger to carry on the job of keeping the GOVT on their toes
    .I am fed up of what is going on on the island today I am even wary as Canival will soon be here what can happen God help us as everyone goes out and have a wonderful time without any inccident

I will not tell all you to go and sell all you soul like the labor party did for money, and I know Dominican like miete, but the country is in trouble, real trouble, so come up with a winning strategy please! The first time UWP won people got together and got rid of what was perceived to be a common enemy. (Freedom Party) This time we had a real and dangerous enemy Roosevelt Maddard Skerritt & Tony Astaphans & Charles Saverin’ the axis of evil.. They are taking over beloved Dominica to hell in a hand basket.

    blah blah blah,,,, the question is whether labourites would go to the polls if indeed a snap election is called,,,,,in our good conscience would u all go to the polls to vote if indeed such occured????

    Of great concern is the lack of hard news coming from the latest round of the People’s Parliament. Increasingly, this attempt purporting to promote the people’s involvement in their governance at the grass roots level, is proving to be an exercise in hopelessness.

    Seriously, the UWP needs to act in ways that position itself as a viable alternative if Labor’s rule suddenly becomes untenable.

    For all its recent tactics, the UWP leadership is aiming to make Dominica ungovernable under the current Labor regime. The UWP therefore owes it to the populace to be ready to hit the ground running were it to become the government of the day.

    Truth be told, Mr. Green called for new elections in 18 months time, right after the 2009 December polls, if only to legitimize Labor’s 18-3 win. Or more significantly to show the UWP could win in a “fair” fight.

    Now, one would think the UWP, driven as it is to unseat Labor at any cost, would have done the necessary soul searching to find out what really caused such a bruising 18-3 loss; then strategically rebuild, prepare and plan for Mr. Green’s predicted snap elections.

    Regardless of some of the weaknesses and inefficiencies in our political system, it is the prerogative of the PM to call snap elections when he deems fit. It is one of those unintended consequences of our democracy. And several of our leaders have used this strategy as an inherent part of our political system.

    Supposing a snap election was called, Labor wins and the civil questions before the Court that Mr. Green alludes to becomes moot, can not the UWP pursue criminal charges (on summary) against the PM and St. Jean for “knowingly lying” about their dual citizen status while filing their nomination papers?

    The UWP would still get its proverbial pound of flesh.

    On the other hand, even if the Court rules against Mr. Skerrit et al in the pending cases, both men would naturally appeal. This very process would be long and tedious. It would delay any action directed by the Court, unless it rules that both men vacate their office and by-elections be called with immediate effect.

    Sympathy for Mr. Skerrit would increase; his stature and popularity would hit the stratosphere, given the broad acceptance and support Skerrit holds among the masses, especially with the less fortunate.

    The appeals would run their course, possibly for the life of the current Labor government. Mr. Skerrit may be bruised, but I suspect, unbowed. He may even become more embolden. Now that he no longer holds French citizenship, he is free to contest the elections in 2015, and still lead Labor in trouncing the UWP a third time in a row.

    What would the UPW do next?

    Ron Green and his party have consistently said that the 2009 general elections was a fraudulent one and that the Labour Party led by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit used illegal means (bribery, corruption, fraud etc etc) to get elected to power. They and their mouth pieces on Q have been singing that tune for more than a year now. They were even rewarded with “personalities of the year” status for keeping the bribery and corruption refrain alive in 2010.

    Shouldn’t Ron be happy that the illegality he has been complaining about is being corrected? That is, if what Ron Green is now saying is true. Shouldn’t he/they be happy that the wrongful election of Prime Minister Skerrit, Ambrose George, Kelva Darroux, Ashton Graneau, Gloria Shillingford etc they so vociferously spoke about and opposed is being corrected?

    You see Ron Green and his bunch of political mal-contents does not want to see any thing corrected. What they want and are aiming at is to ensure that Prime MInister Skerrit is sent to prison. So that with Skerrit out of the way they believe their chances of winning would be greatly improved.

    Mr. Ron Green, stop making a damn fool of yourself. Any political commentator will tell you that there is no reason for Prime Minister Skerrit to call elections now. There are a number of reasons for that.
    1. Despite you and your party’s unbridled charge against the name and character of Priime Minister Skerrit, he still commands the love and admiration of the vast majority of the Dominican public – more than 61% in the last general elections. What do you have to indicate that that support base has been eroded? Your party’s 24-7 media bashing of the Prime Minister and everyone else who care to offer a word of support in his favor has not landed you all the desired results. Your efforts at winning the people’s heart continue to be frustrated despite “people’s parliament” no. 7.

    2. There are too many government projects in the pipeline for which they willl most certainly benefiit from to call elections now knowing fully well that in two years time all of the major projects already on stream would be completed. Some of these include; West Coast road’ West Coast water (Salisbury to Capuchin), Airport Road Phase 2, Hotel at Marigot, Portsmouth Fisheries Complex (now nearing completion), New State House, New College Campus, New schools at Thibaud, Newtown, New Houises for Roseau, improvement to Roseau Roads, a new exit bridge on the Roseau River (the bridge that is going nowhere Ron and them say) etc etc)

    3. The opposition really is not serious about what is being reported. Their real plan is to speak to certain elements among their supporters who could create a situation of social dysfunction where it will become ungovernable for the governmenmt and so set the stage for anarchy and chaos. Remember when Eddy spoke last week about not being involved in any plans to over throw the government, he was actually speaking in parables directly to these people who he believe can be pursuadedd to take up arms against the government. hear them on Q everyday. Watch that man. watch old man Eddy

    In 2009, the opposition spoke about their readiness for general elections and they dared the PM. When the announcement came those who were making up their faces simply could not control the brush. Others led by the UWP have been crying foul to this day.

    So Ron again stop living in the political doldrums. You are more intelligent than that. Stop behaving as though you do not have common sense. Realise that it is the UWP that rushed to the polls more than six months before elections was due and they lost irrespective of “tout par tout”. Skerrit went 9 months before and has left you weeping more than a year later. Just one year later, he certainly has no plan to send you to your political graveyard before 2014. You and Eddo are his best political assets now. Any astute business man knows that an asset has to be exploited to the fullest. You were rejected by Eddo and now you are his best chance for coming back to government. Can you imagine that?

    Mr Green your statement reeks of lacking confidence in winning a snap election, why? Dosesn’t every one know like you said this government is no good and corrupt? This will be a cakewalk, YES?

    Some people express a lot of undemocratic sentiments. For many on this forum, the best thing for Dominica would be a one-party state. Meaning no one but Labourites should have any say. Those very same people when you take a look at their situation, the poor in Haiti are better off than them. They have nothing but yet want to crucify people who criticise the wrong doings of the government.

    Give me a break!! Some of them operate just like “Mooton Batalie” and the rest like Sol – A fish with both eyes on the same side of its head. The few who post on DNO are not even capable to discern right from wrong or fact from fable. I call on the Father forgive them for they don’t know better.

    I hope this is not true. If it is, then many of the allegations against the prime minister would gain credibility. The Prime Minister is outsmarting the opposition. That may be good for him, but general elections at this time would not only hurt the opposition, it would indicate how gullible the Dominican electorate has become. He has the opposition by the balls, but of more concern, an election now would indicate that he has the voting public in a strangle hold. That’s what happens when there is no opposition. The leader is free to have his way with the populace and that’s exactly what calling an election at this time would prove.

    Hmmm! Hmmm! Snap Elections!

    There is no smoke without fire. The writing is on the wall for Mr. Skerrit and Mr. St. Jean and their only possible way of escape is for the government to call a snap election. Both St. Jean and Skerrit revoked their French citizenship after they took office as French citizens. Therefore, they have smelled a rat knowing well that they will be found in violation of the constitution for making false allegiance under oath. They will definitely be found guilty for holding office as French citizens. and therefore to avoid the embarassment of resigning, calling a snap election is a viable alternative. So the snap election rumor can’t be discounted.

    However, to call a snap election the government will have to ensure that the recommendations (Electoral Reform) made by the Caribbean elction monitoring team will have to be implement first. In the absence of that the world will see that Skerrit will do anything to hang on to power.

    Then we all will be saying Aye-la Dominique!

  64. My two cents
    January 28, 2011

    I think that it would be an abuse of the power of the prime minister’s office for Skerrit to call a general election at this moment although that would have been a very shrewd political maneuver on his part. I am convinced that if he does take that course of action then, like Ron said, all the petitions before the court right now would become irrelevant since all prospective nominees will do what is required to comply with the requirements for becoming a legitimate Parl Rep and they would then be elected fair and square (after the fact).

    All of this co motion could have been avoided if only, these politician would be the first ones to abide by the laws of the land which they so sort to up-keep / enforce on others, once they become elected officials.

    In the same breath, when I read the article I began smiling because I remembered earlier on that Ron was calling for fresh / new elections within 18 months, and now that it seems that such could become a reality he comes out crying FOWL-PLAY…. Skerrit continues to call UWP’s BLUFF and these jokers just don’t get it!!! Stop asking for what you do not really want. If you can’t leave with it Then Don’t ask for it.

    You asked for protection, you get it..then you don’t want it.

    You asked for Election within 18 months, You might get it, Now you don’t want it.

        Camille, help me understand your stance on the issue. Are you saying that a fresh election now would would hurt the UWP standing? Hence its reason for not wanting one declared anymore? If that’s your position then we share similar views on the issue. I just went a bit further and noticed that if the allegation that Ron is making is true, the Skerrit is a Skillful player for contemplating such a move. Mind you..For most politicians the order of priority of their love goes Self => Party => friends => Country. Notice..Country is last in order

          Skerrit is a skillful politician (not necessary an ethical leader) who knows no boundaries or law or ethics. He just wants to win come what may. I believe Green when he says that Skerit is gearing up for elections. If UWP can get some election reforms going then they can close in on the RED machinery.

          And the sad part is that Dominicans will support another bruising election season even though it means that it will diminish them and our country. We will deliver our country to the Chinese soon—they have 32 and counting businesses in small Roseau. Please don’t tell the Red folks that you will upset them.

    LMAO….”snap elections is one of the newest threats to Dominica’s democracy.” The UWP has consistently said that the results from the last election is fraudulent. So wouldn’t an election be a nice way to allay their fears and set the record straight? If I were in Mr. Green’s position I would actually welcome an election, snap or not. But I guess Mr. Green is afraid that his party is not prepared for an election. They were not prepared when the last election was called and over a year later they are still not prepared. And that is Mr. Green’s fear.

    Anyone can remember the snap election Mamo called when Mathew Joseph of the Democratic Labor Party was abruptly named Leader of the Opposition? The morale of that episode in the history of our politics: always be prepared. Our system of government (which sucks actually) gives the PM the complete authority to call elections whenever he wants.

    Mr. Green, heed my advice: be prepared, be always prepared.

    Until I hear from TREVOR JOHNSON on that I wont believe that the PM would even come up with such a plan. Since TREVOR JOHNSON revelations seem to be hitting home it is only fitting that I await Trevor Johnson’s take on that one.

    Again that is just rumors and we not be so quick to react. That said I will say that if this becomes a reality then that will sad – really sad. God I pray that this is just another UWP propaganda. I also pray that our leadership is not even thinking of such plans.

    You must not listen to rumors Mr. Green, you are a grown intelligent man that I respect. So be focus and just try to build your party, stop these unnecessary People’s Parliament and go to the National Parliament and give constructive and effective representation. If not the masses will loose confident in you. Don’t listen to Arrogant James, he likes the rumors, example the bugging and now the assassination.

    Please Mr. Green, What is wrong with you…when will you’ll stop this nonsense. Its beginning to sicken me and alot of Dominicans. Stop telling lies, and spreading rumours. I mean when you’ll do those things, you’ll are kill the UWP, turning the supporters away and showing how much you’ll have ran out of ideas. You’ll claim that you’ll love Dominica, but this Political thing is getting too much, over a year now since election, and you’ll just can’t accept the fact and put this thing to rest. Look at SVG, they just had election, even with a closer margin, and their country has settled, look at Grenda and St. Kitts. This is what you call love of Country, the opposition this have their issues with electoral reform etc. but you not hearing them going on and on with this thing. They have gone to the Parliment and represent the minority. TAKE A HINT MR GREEN, take a HINT!!!
