Leader of the ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP) prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has accused the leader of the United Workers Party (UWP) Lennox Linton of not being able to present a Manifesto for yet another general election campaign.
Skerrit, who was addressing thousands of supporters during the launching of the DLP 2014 Manifesto held at the Lily Valley in Trafalgar on Thursday night said, the opposition UWP revealed that information via a Facebook post on Thursday.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Dominicans, breaking news…I don’t gossip,” Skerrit said. “The Team Foo was under serious pressure from its supporters saying to them that Skerrit showed his manifesto last Saturday where is UWP manifesto? The UWP just posted on their Facebook page that they will have no manifesto for this elections.”
But Linton has shot back, describing Skerrit’s statements as “a total, absolute lie.”
He said the photo which allegedly appeared on the UWP’s Facebook page was a “concoction.”
“It is a concoction photoshopped by the IT warfare experts within the Labour Party being paid for by the treasury of Dominica, the poor people’s money.” Linton stated. “What they did was they photoshopped a page using imagery from our webpage and they paste some nonsensical thing about we are not having a manifesto because it is still in production or some sort of nonsense.”
Linton made it clear that the UWP will be launching its manifesto in the week of November 24.
“We accept that on December 8th we are going to vote,” Linton noted. “We are moving ahead in the campaign for the election on December 8th. What is Mr. Skerrit so upset about our manifesto? Is it that he is not pleased about his? Is it that he is not satisfied with the contents of his manisfesto that he could leave it alone, he could set it aside and prioritized our manifesto which is coming and he is trying to tell the public that it is not coming, he is attracting more attention to the UWP.”
In his speech Skerrit described Linton as a “political fraud” and a “cursed man.”
“That is what I have been telling you for so many years that Linton is a fraud, a political fraud and there is no way we can elect Lennox Linton as prime minister of Dominica…,” Mr. Skerrit said. “In 1957 and 1961 Labour had a manifesto and you telling me in the second decade of the twenty-first century, with all the brains that they say they have in UWP, you cannot put a manifesto together?”
He continued, “God is good, God is really good because he has shown us that Linton is a political fraud ….Linton is a cursed man and the good Lord will curse him for disrespecting women.”
But Linton said that Skerrit is using the launch of the DLP’s manifesto to personally attack him.
“He comes to launch his party’s manifesto and find in that presentation time to attack me personally and Thompson Fontaine personally,” he stated.
Fifteen thousand copies of the DLP manifesto have been printed and are available at all the party’s constituency offices on the island.
The manifesto can also be viewed at www.labourkatwavay.com/manifesto.
really U W P where is your manifesto? aren’t you all going to give Dominica a manifesto?
Sometime I wonder what is really wrong with Mr. Skerrit. There are so many issues to deal with and instead of touching base on them he is more concerned with UWP and whether or not that they have a manifesto? Come on man
The honourable prime minister found Mr.George speech he was giving at the time to be lame and chose to conviniently cut him off in the middle of his speech, embarassing him completely having him not being able to even look directly into the crowd and at one point even seemed like he wanted to trash his speech in his back pocket.
At first i laughed and it seemed like a big joke, lord forgive me!, but now the opposition has spoken all i see is a Pm that thinks he is the gem of the Labour party because his colleagues praise him sooo much and for what? To embarass them publicly.
It should be me skeritt had take that mic from.TOE TO TOE BRO! I WOULDA TELL YOU GO BACK AND SIT DOWN, THAT WOULD HAVE ADEQUATELY RESPOND TO SUCH CONDESCENCE, TRUST ME.
What an arrogant, condescending fool allu have for a Prime Minister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dominica, Saint Lucia and the rest of the caribbean is depending on you to deal the first blow as we are on a crusade to rid the Caribbean of these three renegades. Kenny Anthony (Saint Lucia) Skerrit (Dominica) and Gonzalves (StVincent). All eyes are on you Dominica. #ChangeIsComing to Saint Lucia and we Hope that #ChangeIsAMust in Dominica. Follow us @ http://facebook.com/unitedpac
Is that the words of a leader.
is that the example we want to pass on to our children.
dominica under this government has become a communist country.
One where a president was brought into power by force
One where business are force to shut down.
One where people is afraid of talking up for fair of losing there jobs.
Dominica policy are of those of the middle eastern country.
If dlp wins I am afraid of what dominica will become.
When last were you in Dominica? I suppose you heard some people make that statement and you followed suite without giving it much thought and doing your homework and research.
It appears you are not aware what goes on under your very nose in England. I would think that England is more of a communist, dictatorship country than Dominica.
You now have recognition of same sex relationships and so-called marriage which you dare not challenge and speak against publicly for that matter.
Similarly, you have the Muslim problem in all its force in England. They even have a community, an area which they took over where they live and shop. There is more, too much to mention.
Businesses all over the world are shutting down, going bankrupt. It is not contained to only Dominica which is a smaller island than those countries as England.
It is the height of ignorance and stupidity to refer to D/ca as a Middle Eastern country. Great Britain, under it’s prime minister has not advanced whatsoever. It is still a backward country in comparison to the US and Canada of all.
Recently, Scotland almost seceded from Great Britain. If matters were so good in G.B., they would not have had a referendum to become independent. They will try again.
Therefore, when you call Dominica a communist country and a Middle Eastern country, think of England which should be an advanced country. It is amazing that you still reside there. Many D/cans have left there some years ago. Some are residing in Canada and have done very well. They will never return to reside in England.
Lastly, what I have to state to you is, be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear and your fingers to the keyboard and utilizing the sent key.
It`s not surprising that you are in London, you just don’t know how happy we are down here, I am much better off ,safer, and happier than I have ever been in Kilburn London for 34 years,
we got great leadership in Dominica god bliss..
can somebody please tell me why is it that is only one main band ,the global band that skerrit has in all his major activities?there are so many other bands
Is this not his business? He loves that band for good reasons.
Because the young woodlums that lacking the capacity to learn and the drug dealers follow that band.
Note, they are in majority keep them happy and they vote for the sewo. Any intelligent, sensible well educated individual will do one of two things either vote skeritt because they lack the confidence in lennox or just don’t vote at all. Sad situation.
I think that we need to go to a quiet place in our home with no one around, and examine ourselves, reflect on the present situation in our lives right now, where we was before and where we would like to be, then make a decision on which party we should support.
This would be a good idea. In the quietude of your home, reflection is good for the soul. You will then be able to make a wise decision. I think you will come up with and decide on DLP.
Haha alas, Skerrit hurting all you feelings with the truth lol.
In my younger years the political party representatives would walk around with the manifesto to explain to the citizens their plans and proposals and leave a copy with them for further reference. In the past week I met a few red representatives walking around and still haven’t seen a copy of the labour party manifesto. I just don’t see the point of the PM wanted to burst a vein because the UWP has not launched or as he said they don’t have a manifesto.
There is a reason for all things. The representatives have seen the Manifesto and reviewed it. They know what it contains. No need to walk around with one and leave a copy with the constituents. It costs money to print them.
Furthermore, in this age of increased costs and cost-cutting, I would think this is the reason why they do not have a copy to leave with them. Think of that and do not let your mind work overtime.
I am a fed up UWP supporter. I will vote for my UWP candidate but I am disappointed with our leadership. I really thought we was ready and had our stuff in order. Truth is we should have had all our t-shirts, posters, placards and election gimmicks ready by now. Linton just messing with our chances, we should have stuck with Eddo, because this time around with Eddo we would have run ALP out of town. Now he talking about court already like he know something we UWP supporters don’t. Is that it Linton, are u saying we are loosing again. I vex bad. Change is a must, not an option. Cant we at least keep the faith, talking court means u have already lost faith and I hate that u would think that way.
ALP?
It is simple. Switch Parties.
I agree. This was the year for UWP to win.
Why is pm Skerritt so concerned about whether the uwp launched a manifesto or not? According to his own words: Its non of his d–m business if uwp has a manifesto or not. It’s not labour party’s money, neither is it a constitutional requirement.
labour ka twavay but WORKERS WORK!!!
If trees and bushes were money Dominica would have been rich. If a manifesto was development Dominica would have been very well developed…… If words could make you rich, Skerritt and the labour Regime would be much much much more richer……………………. If words were actions every Dominican would be living on a throne of Gold… So what’s the noise about a Manifesto, a set of Paper that doesnot make much sense to the poor because they don’t understand a quarter of what is written, maybe PM Skerrit should invest in a glossy magazine where he and is comrades could show off and look like rock stars……………………………………..
One sure thing is that the PM and his team are nervous and very shaky ,,,,,,, But its a long time lennox on the offensive so now is more fire….
Some of you are something else. So he is nervous and not Linton? You would like to believe that. What makes you think that Linton is confident and not nervous?
Why does Mr.skerrit and his team always have to criticize Workers. Why can’t he just focus on what he has done for Dominica. If he had done so much he would not have time to talking about Lennox,Lennox,Lennox all the time.
Are you insinuating that Linton never criticized DLP?
how could UWP travel the world campaigning ,cause their money to finish now tell those same people it is an offence with the IRS if they receive money or tickets to come home to vote? as i always say there are lots of ways to skin a cat,not just one,lol
They have a free mind and will to go to D/ca or not if they so wish. Can the IRS prevent them from going to D/ca to vote? Will the iRS penalize them? Is the IRS money used for their travel? Well, Linton will say anything to prevent them from voting for DLP.
There are some nationals from different countries who reside in Canada. They voted in Canada for their country. The government of Dominica will have to consider doing likewise in the future.
on a different topic,——–.how can UWP go to the USA, Canada another parts of the world campaigning now they are telling those same people its an offence with the IRS if they receive a ticket from LABOUR to come home and vote..all political parties are doing it,is it because they don’t have money to do it ??? .well there are more than one way to skin a cat !!!!!!
May the best team win, cuz which ever team we still have to work hard
I’ve never seen a manifesto for a party with one person face alone on it., but what is in there , anything good to help the country for the next five years. Which is more important, to have a manifestó or to have a good plan for your country?
What is the big deal about manifestos the labour manifestos is a copy of the last election manifestos with the same old promises. Why should you tell us when we should bring out our manifestos
Breaking News I just hear they say the PM going MAD DNO can you please investigate
Be smart. Envy and wickedness caused them to state this. You take them seriously?
DNO you all have a habit of not posting my comments, let me see if you all will post this one.
Mr Skeret, is that how your granny raised you? A church going boy when you were little, a roll model for the Young Freedom Movement back in those days. Is so you come? Eh las. I think is time you do the honorable thing and get out of politics before you get a stroke or something. I feel so sorry for you. You mean to tell me you are so power hungry that you have bashed aside all the good qualities your granny instilled in you? Man I feel your pain. You are very troubled. But again… Time will tell!!
Oh please! What is your point? What nonsense are you stating? If you feel he is power hungry, is he the only one who is?
Who said he caste aside his upbringing? He is a politician and he is interested in helping Dominica. Do not debase him and his efforts. Be broadminded.
can you really tell your children labour is working when you have to be in a line to get help to send them to school? yes we can see the state malice, we can see the stadium where access is limited our children don’t have p.roper facility to pratice the various sporting disciplines.to use a common saying we cannot eat concert.
What is so unusual about that? You are narrow minded and stated nonsense. All countries have poor people and those who have children who get financial assistance from the government. They use some of this money to pay for their children’s necessities.
Ask your ancestors, those who are still alive or someone whom you know, if such was the case in bygone years that the poor received subsistence from the government.
You guys really have to be kidding me if you think Lennox Linton can run Dominica! I know change can be good, but this guy is not the one. Dominica would be in a worse off position if this guy comes into power. Let’s face it, he does not have the credibility to be a Prime Minister.
You all used to say “who if not Skerrit?”. but I have not heard that for a long time because we have the answer, dont we? Ands o does Skerrit but he does not like it, not one bit.
We have a very good alternative and it is showing! What is more, not a one man band like Skerrit but a whole Team, so ask me again “who if not Skerrit?”
One party supposedly corrupt and the other not even ready for Elections. Bondyé! where to turn? Not a good look at all the UWP. A manifesto is important. End of story
Skerritt you are disgraceful, stop this do not lie like that, your people posted this notice. You will sit on ypur buttock when Lennox Linton present UWP Manifesto. Respect yourself as PM. You are making yourself the lowest in your team. Move from this level to higher heights.
All those people in red are people who just love freeness and like to live at the expense of others that is why they supporting skerrit so that they can get grubs, because of their mentality they are very easily bought, they are selfish self centered and skerrit is riding high on that to be the youngest fastest riches prime minister of the Caribbean. while they continue to remain beggars all their lives.
Oh boy! What unfairness in judging them and wrongfully so.
Under the PM’s leadership they have the opportunity to educationally upgrade themselves. It is coming and will happen in time. Wait and see.
Such statements by Mr Skerrit are of poor taste and lacking maturity. Mr Skerritt is showing signs of a thin skin and vindictive man. Its very much anti- Christian and pagan to use such harsh words…… Here is the PM asking God to curse Mr William…… Mr Skerrritt doesn’t realise that he is asking for trouble and even a surprise defeat and total colapse of his so called good fortune…
Alcoholic Anonymous has a saying: The first thing to leave a man when he loses focus is his spirituallity and it is the last thing to come back…….
Mr Skerritt as a professing catholic should study the Beatitudes :Bless are those who are persecuted on account of righteousness sake for their is the Kingdom of God…
Just want to remind MR Skerritt that he must never lose his cool and composure as a christian….Love your enemies and Pray for those who persecute you,,,,,, Bless those who curseeeeeee,,,,,,youuuuuuuu,,,,,,
Mr Linton on the other hand is showing real character by not responding to such harsh words and criticism with hatred but is responding by sticking to the plan.. Focusing on the Issues …………….. and its evident that the Issues got Mr Skerrit going wild,,,,,,,,,,
Mr Skerritt needs to exercise so self control and manliness as the country’s PM.
Mr Skerritt please remember that God is good to everyone not for you and labourites alone…………..
Politicians in Dominica need to lead by example…… and High ethical and Moral codes……
wrong is wrong Mr Skerritt,,
Mr PM, what about the allegation of bringing in plane loads of Dominicans free of charge to vote in a government in a country they don’t or perhaps no longer call home? Is this good in the eyes of God or not?
Come clean Mr PM and your comrades………
The 8th of Decemeber may well be a teaching day for you…….. so watch your words carefully Mr PM….
God blessss Youuuuuuuuu and God blesss Mr Linton
God bless all the Politicians ………………… especially at this time……………………Amen
Your words have no credence. Lugay said if he was not a Christian (some Christian) he would bring them all down. You know what that means. None of you chastised Lugay. On the contrary, you applauded him and supported him. You people are too unfair and love to criticize.
I do not see what the fuss is all about nahh Skerrit. To me a manifesto is just a waste of money with all the pretty pictures and lots of words on paper some of which the normal person can hardly understand.
A debate is much more important than any manifesto. So man up Mr. Skerrit and go debate instead of hiding behind all your supporters. Behind the podium with all your supporters in red seems to be your source of strength.
Come on Skerrit debate! debate! debate.
This election is not a popularity contest. It is a presentation of honest ideas and dedication to our beloved Dominica. As a great lawyer will tell you, present your case and let the jury decide. We are suppose to be an educated country, let us display our intelligence in a healthy environment. The Prime Minister should have laid down the reasons why we should re-elect him and let us decide if he is worthy of our votes. All these extravagance and unhealthy words at his opponents should have been left out. No one is cursed Mr. PM. God loves us all. Please Mr. Prime Minister accept the fact that you are not the only intelligent person coming off the Common Wealth of Dominica. Indeed, there are many Dominicans who are much more intelligent than you but they are so humble you would not even know them. As Prime Minister, you have displayed a level of arrogance and have forgotten that you serve and represent ALL DOMINICANS. You should extricate yourself as being PM because you have certainly left labourites like me disappointed in your conduct. I was an admirer of Rosie Douglas. I went around with Rosie. I never saw Rosie belittle anyone. On the contrary, I saw Rosie engaging those who did not support him and tried to bring them along to support him. Rosie once told me that he was married to the people Dominica and his wife’s name was Dominica. Rosie gave whatever he had and could afford to anyone in need and always smiled and teased his opponents never denigrated them because he saw too many world leaders come and went. Rosie Douglas is responsible for those who are enjoying the fruits of the labour party today, but not one of you paid tribute to this loving man who gave his all for a better Dominica. On December 8, I call on all right thinking Dominicans to vote this current labour party out of office and bring in competent people to serve our beloved country.

We will see on the week of the 24th who is leing and who telling the truth.
The misuse of the UWP’s images and the fabrication of a website to spread lies about the UWP is downright dirty, and it is against the principles enunciated in the Election Code of Conduct issued by the Christian Council. The Council is now obligated to denounce this dirty trick. It must publicly denounce violations of the Code and call the violators to account. Failure to do so would call into question the credibility of the Council and its code.
So it’s 14 years and 3 manifestos later and what do we get yet again MANIFESTO #4. Is this not the SAME DLP that has been the government for the past 14 years? Why do you even need manifesto #4, your performance or lack there of should speak for itself. How many of the promises in the past 3 manifestos have been implemented? After 14 years your campaign should be simple…. “See we told you the things we wanted to do…. Look at that WE DID THEM”
The reality is all the promises all the manifestos of the past meant nothing. You guys have spent 14 years enriching yourselves at the expense of the Dominican tax paying public. When civil servants are promised 0 0 0 you guys gave yourselves 52% salary increase. In this world that we live where else does anyone get 14 years to prove themselves? If Dominica was a company and you were the executive would any of you still be part of this company after such terrible performance? But yet you ask for 5 more years.. TO DO WHAT
Why should the DLP concern itself with when and if the opposition party releases a manifesto? The opposition has been pleading it’s case for the past year with it’s plans when it gets into government. They even created their own budget for 2014/2015. Anyone who claims they don’t know… i can clearly say they don’t want to know. Their comments on here is just to aid in spreading the propaganda of the DLP. The same way you use your computer to come to DNO is the same way your computer can go to the opposition party’s website if you want to inform yourself of their plans..
Consider this why should the opposition party release it’s manifesto early to give the DLP enough time to copy their ideas which they are notorious for doing. The DLP wants to remain in government so they should think for themselves!
The DLP has a campaign strategy of avoiding all the important issues and their own bad performance but go after the opposition based on blatant lies and propaganda. They use Dominicans ignorance as a tool against them
My people do the research to inform yourself don’t loose focus of the horrible job the DLP has done over the past 14 years. Don’t let 30 days of glamour and flash fool you guys into 5 years of the destruction of our country.
Educate yourself and vote wisely this election!
21 unfulfilled promises from the 2009 manifesto “Taking Dominica to the next level”. “In the new term we will: (1) Complete the Rosalie / Petite Soufriere road; (2) Transform the City of Roseau into the most modern and historic city in the OECS; (3) Adopt a new Agricultural Policy Framework for which a draft has already been prepared; (4) Upgrade the Central Livestock farm at Londonderry as a model for dairy production and processing; (5) Acquire equipment for the newly constructed packing houses to assist in meeting international standards in the export of agricultural products; (6) Construct a modern, state of the art cruise ship berth and entertainment centre, capable of accommodating up to three mega ships at any one time; (7) Construct a Marina Village, Hotel and Shopping Complex in Portsmouth; (8) Pirate Points; (9) Construct the Kalinago segment of the Waitukubuli National Trail through the Territory; (10) Micro hydro plants will be installed at river sites around the island; (11) Wind turbines will be placed along the east coast and the power will be fed into communities nearby as well as into the national grid system; (12) Make significant improvements to the Marigot Hospital emergency services in keeping with the expansion and upgrading of the Melville Hall airport; (13) Complete the building project at the Dominica Grammar School; (14) Embark on a national programme of vocational and technical education to compliment the academic section of the Universal Secondary Education; (15) Construct a Government administration building, bus terminal and sewerage system for
Portsmouth; (16) Enact stiffer penalties for certain crimes e.g.
those involving the use of firearms; (17) Introduce programmes for drug addicts; (18) Amend the Magistrate Code of Procedure to make trails speedier and more effective; (19) Finalise the Diaspora Policy; (20) introduce new rules governing public procurement/contracts and to improve transparency, accountability and efficiency; (21) establish a Citizen’s Complaint’s office to deal with complaints of poor service by Government departments.” 21 reasons to get the picture!!!!!!!
But we did advance to glueless stamps in the post office. Some visitor asked me the other day if these are the famous “next level stamps”. What could I say but give some cock and bull story about us helping to save the environment and stopping people licking stamps by removing the glue. Brilliant idea that! Whoever thought of it deserves a wooden parrot.
Wow, boy that is a blow in the solar plexus.
These guys are not serious, you can see they used technology to add people in the crowd for the picture above.
Charlie Jon at work again…..partner do a cleaner and better job than that , the PM paying you big money.
Why do all of that if allu winning the election?
D – Deception
L – Lies
P – Propaganda
Lennox had the manifesto already but it was full of plaigiarsm so he had to squash it and start over. He is now at a loss for ideas
It will come in a new way….online!
A manifesto is a summary of what the parties intend to do over the elected period; The UWP is the only party over the last twelve months that have been religously articulating its plans and programs for the next five years in other words its manifesto. For those who followed the strategy of the UWP over the last few months would appreciate the fact that the guys have been doing a lot of consultations in and out of Dominica sharing their ideas for example the 21 in 25 tour of Dominica; the North American and European tours; the economic forum etc- and all the press conferences the radio programs all with the intend to bring out their programs in other words their manifesto in discussion. Example the 500 jobs in three years; the building of an international airport; the re-vitalization of the agricultural sector; the building back up of our local government system; making Dominica the best place to work, live, and enjoy; strenthening our institutional capacity; etct etc- so all that is neede is it to put in print form. So now they have consulted, gathered information and data they are analysing and putting it together – the moral of the story is that quite a lot of thought and detail will be in the UWP manifesto and I am prepared to wait for it because knowing Linton it will be well put together document.-
Who determines strategy? Skerrit or UWP? Tell Mr. Skerrit check DLP business let the UWP decides when best to launch its manifesto. This is so childish. One party tearing down another over manifesto. Come on Mr. Skerrit take a chill pill. This is irrelevant.
Mr. Pm My question to you is if you are so confident on winning the elections why each and every campaign you host all you do is try to bring down the opposition? If you want to convince more of the people to vote for you shouldn’t your speech be based on what you can do for their development rather than trying to tarnish Mr. Linton’s reputation? Bringing down someone else doesn’t make you higher it only means that you are already at the bottom so you trying to bring them down with you. The same followers who repeat these things after you are only illiterate. And they are the same set after elections sitting on the side of the road with no jobs. Screaming labour should have gotten you a job. Dominicans open your eyes. Do you want to sit waiting for handouts the rest of your life? How long will these handouts last? During campaign time you let umbrellas, shirts and free drinks and all sorts of things fool you…after elections what do you have??
He cannot write a speech,so he may not understand what is in there.Another attempt to fool dominicans,
He can’t write a speech so you know he did not prepare that manifesto, bet you!
Grey Shirts. Late Manifesto and other campaign paraphernalia.
Displays lack of preparedness, which is somewhat surprising considering all the request to “call it” and the pronouncements of possible election dates.
I hope Dominicans are reading right through Mr.Skeritt comments. He is trying to make Dominicans afraid of Mr.Linton by saying all these rubbish about him and how he isrespect woman, about he is a fraud and he is cursed. The sad thing is there are a few Dominicans who acctually believe that rubbish. I hope the see that instead our talking about the contry’s future the skeritt DLP is just trying to find way to make people afraid of the UWP and Mr.Linton. Thank you lord for the day I learned to read and listen, if it was not so, i think i would be sold on the skeritt rubbish. I think the UWP should continue on their path and keep their campaign clean . The sad thing is half of the people getting the DLP manifesto only look at the pictures. “Garson mi ou bell potway” yap most of them can’t read it. I you are following what is happening on Dominica and in people pockets, you do not need a manifesto to vote against the DLP. I hope Dominica do not let the foolish statements by the PM confuse them and distract them from the real issues.
I saw the live video feed of the DLP meeting at Lily Valley last night on Marpin. I was flabbergasted when I saw Skerrit push Ambrose George aside and took the mike to reveal the most absurd of announcements. It is disturbing to witness and furthermore when the other party members and the rest of the island at large don’t grasp the situation.
Furthermore, for the agents of the DLP to fabricate such a bold LIE and present it as truth or verifiable fact is VERY DISTURBING. Whether or not one supports the DLP, this action must be met with great condemnation.
This is a shame and disgrace!
The ability of Prime Ministers to call elections in Dominica when they desire makes it hard for the opposition to prepare. If the opposition uses its resources to prepare a manifesto and prepare a campaign too early, then the incumbent can simply postpone the election by making no announcement, allowing the opposition’s campaign plans to fall into obsolescence. At the other end, with the entire official campaign period typically only about a month long, there is precious little time for the opposition to prepare a manifesto, a campaign, and work out policy positions on which to run for office.

Skerrit the question for you is that will you be in Dominica at midnight on Dec 8? Some think that you will be picked up by a jet in the middle of night at that -(what’s its name) airport in Marigot because you will be PM NO MORE !!!! Chew on this mister.
linton is running closer to the airport,be
careful what you wish for,because when you throw stones,it will fall in your own glass and smash them
Wise up my people.The PM and his ministers had everything planned already.They knew very well the UWP was going to be strapped for time.That was also part of the planning.That was a well kept secret by the DLP head.Doing things like that is a sign of weakness.Coward move.No need to set traps.You might be trapped yourself.Dont be fooled.We are much smarter than that.
Mr. Linton, this race is for the swift and the strong. As we get closer to the finish line, you appear to be fading fast. An apparent lack of urgency in presenting your party’s manifesto or statement of purpose has made you seem lackadaisical and weak. Even your staunchest supporters will agree you have been very tardy in delivering your plan of purpose. How do you expect the teacher (we the voters) to give you a grade if you don’t turn in your paper on time? My friend step on the accelerator and do not rely on luck. Instead, remember that Opportunity + Preparation = Success.
UWP need to stop it’s lies. http://www.uwpdominica.com/manifesto had the said posting stated above. This is not any photoshop work done by the DLP. Linton stop the lies to Dominican people. After the PM made the announcement at the rally, your team removed the page; however the screen capture was already taken.
Stop the lies LINTON!! Be honest to the Dominican people. Whatever you put online lives forever; proven liar!

UWP stop your lies! It was not on your Facebook but rather on your own website. STOP YOUR LIES Linton!
Thought he was gonna burst a blood vessel. Something is definitely not altogether there with Mr. PM.
If I was a LABOURITE I would be really worried about voting for a person like Skerrit. He is calling uwp Team Fou….. but right now I am convinced that he is the one who has lost it…It is time for Dr. Benjamin to step in to do a psychological evaluation of the man…
To tell me that Lennox said the manifesto will be launched during the week if the 24th Nov …but you have Charlie Jung hack the facebook page to say they don’t have a manifesto…to add insult to injury , you then announce that at your rally….so you cook up a lie and turn it into breaking news.
SKERRIT…WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE BY LYING ON THE UWP AND THEN TRYING TO LOOK GOOD BY SAYING “Linton is a cursed man and the good Lord will curse him for disrespecting women.”
THE MAN IS SICK..
JUST TUESDAY HE WAS CHASTISING LABOURITES AND THREATENING THEM IF THEY DON’T VOTE FOR LABOUR
ALL SIGNS OF A DESPERATE DROWNING MAN
AS FOR ME …THERE ARE TWO THINGS I WILL NEVER DO:
1. MARRY A LYING, CHEATING MAN AND
2. VOTE FOR A LYING, CORRUPT, DISHONEST, UNJUST AND CHEATING LEADER
ALL THE WAY WITH THE UWP…FOR HONESTY, INTEGRITY, JUSTICE. AND GOOD GOVERNANCE
CHANGE IS A MUST…NOT AN OPTION
One thing I know if Lennox Linton become pm, u Roosevelt Skerrit don’t have a chance in hell to
escape prison.
First of all, I heard mr. Linton say to Matt Peltier on his programme on wednesday that his party would produce a manifest on 24 Nov. So I don’t know why mr. Skerrit apparently did not know that last night when he started ranting an raving that he had breaking news tht UWP would not have a manifesto.
Whoever advise the P.M. did not help him but made him look ridiculous. That was very embarrassing.
Secondly, I think that mr. Linton’s strategy to delay his party’s manifesto for the week after next is sound.
1) Mr. Skerrit has already shot his bolt.
2) by that time many of the printed DLP manifesto’s will be scattered to all corners of the the wind and forgotten.
3) The opposition will have had ample time to disect and study the DLP manifesto and taylor theirs accordingly.
4) It will be much closer to the election and be fresher in the memories of the voters.
I am not Hartely Henry but that is what I think.
Blows!!! Blows!!! BLOWS!!
Oh man shut up! Who is blowing you? You not readyt yet I suspect.
every single day Lennox Linton have the PM name in his mouth but when the PM return the favour all u want to rant and wrave?? LOL boy all u have jokes.. OUR Manifesto online and not on the clothes line uwp own was back in 2009 when the wind go with it and nobody see it! election makin people say things. people be fair! lennox is an angry beligerent man that cannot take criticism or talk why he putting himself in the public eye for?? he like to give but cannot take and his supporters same thing. IF he don’d like heat then the kithen is not for him. so much blows PM taking, everything that happen in dca he takin blame, yr round linton and his cabal on his case.. Let my PM talk he can give blows to if all u cannot take it then shut up its an election campaign stop being cry cry babies.. jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!
Desperate people do desperate things. Now it move to calling people crazy and destroying internet sites!!
Crazy knows crazy
I hope UWP launch a big investigation and involve the police to find out the root of this story where DLP fraudulently imposed false pictures on UWP website. This is serious business and goes to show the length these people will go to cause harm to others. We as decent thinking Dominicans we cannot give these men another chance in office.
Maybe all this is the beginning of what is to come when he talked about “Blood” will be on peoples hands. Take heed my friends, take need!
It is so clear that Skerrit is not a wise man, because if he was he would have seek advise because he is too young to know and check to see how many opposition parties in the past had their manifestos soon after elections were called. It has never happened for the simple reason that it was always the ruling party that dictate the date, , thus they get prepared first. So this is nothing new here. This man is just crazy
You all blaming the Prime Minister. You are just ashame. How can you be campaigning for so long and been saying how ready you are for election day, yet, when the day is announced, you are surprised. First you revealed you have no money, then your manifesto! Words are not enough, we need a signed document so we can hold you accountable when you start to say the pressure is too much for you. Everything with Linton is someone else’s fault. You and Hector John spend so much time talking about the Prime Minister you forgot your selves. As for Hector, he cannot even be a good MC much less. One steep Forward two and a half backward.
LABOUR KA TAWAY. It is time. Did Tony leave his party his ma left him to self destruct ?
What we should have heard on the launching of the new manifesto is the labor parties report card. He should go though last elections manifesto tell the people what was achieved by the party and what was not achieved and why. What is this Lennox Lennox Lennox. The man must be calling Lennox name in his sleep.
Marigot is coming on board too the good Doctor is ready to care for the masses.
I would like to know why some UWP supporters are so ignorant and arrogant.
My God has intalled my PM to be here for another 20 years in Government so Dominicans stop allowing politics to divide us so get with the program
Is Skerrit leading goats? Why would he continue to sound like a mad man? Why the need to tell such lies? The UWP website never had such thing on their site and it is a pathetic strategy that makes him look bad. The PM needs to act like a man in power and stop swaying to the breeze of Lennox Linton. Everyone can conclude that he did not anticipate UWP would have been so challenging. Change is Here.. Bye Bye Skerro, you got to go.
Prime minister u need to relax yourself. Too much anger in u
Team fou where is your manifesto. The PM and the Dominica Labour Party is on the move
You are clearly an uneducated person, so let me school you and all the others. The manifesto is not just the book you seeing , but all the material in it. Soon there will not even be booklets but that information will be distributed via email when guys like you have wise-up.
The fact that DLP Photoshop and supper imposed false information on another persons website, calls for a major investigation.
Not you damn business. Don’t worry about UWP and go find work to do. Educate you self and find out about the issues and facts.
For your information I am educated master degree in Early Childhood Education. UWP is my business five more years.
You are eminently qualified to instruct Roosevelt Skerrit my friend. Go and teach him.
U are just a follower.
Proud Dominican if you really are tell your PM to get out of the closet and go debate Lennox Linton which to me is much more important than pretty pictures and words on paper.
yes the P M is on the move downwards he already started in the hospital.
Stop make Skerrit take allu for ride! Did you hear Linton or any UWP rep say they do not hve a manifestoo…or did Skerrit say they do not have one. Jeeze…open allu eyes!
I hope the undecided voters are realizing the monster that Skerrit is morphing into
There you go judging. It appears only in D/ca you could make such a statement and get away with it. Have you considered yourself as being a monster and for calling him a monster? Cease judging. He has done you nothing. People as you bring down the wrath of God on you and on D/ca. It is high time to commence loving and not hating. When are you ever going to learn this for your happiness and peace of mind?
Based on his utterings in the court of the last twelve months, Skerrit needs psychiaritc help. In all my years of following politics in Dominica, I have never heard any politician say his opponent has been cursed by God. Sadly, there are people who endorse his vitriol.
Have you ever listened to Lennox Linton? Clearly you have not, or you would not be saying this. This is what’s scary about politics Dominican style. You do not come in here and advocate for change in the vitriol (as you say) from all sides, but instead seek to condemn one and not the other for engaging in the same type of behavior. Poor DA for real.
Lennox doing fine so skerrit will be fine, don’t worry yourself unnecessarily. Check your own scene.
replace the word ”court” with course
Expect anything during an election campaign. Have you forgotten that Linton accused the PM and his ministers of rape? In addition to what Lugay stated? Why attack the PM? You always attack him for every word he states. Attack the others you support. Oh no! You endorsed and applauded them. You are really an unfair person. Showing your true colors.
Parry, I would advise the Prime Minister that he is throwing cold water on grand activities such as the presentation of the manifesto. For approximately thirteen months, he has been throwing propaganda, political mapuis and fabrication against Mr. Thompson Fontaine and Mr. Lennox Linton. With the election so close, what has he not said about these gentlemen that will make a difference as to whether people will vote for them or not. His interest, his concentration should be entirely on his programs in terms as to how he is going to improve the lives of Dominicans for the next five years.
And they stated nothing about him? Your memory is short.
UWP… Manifesto same as DLP the reason why they can’t present one.uwp promised they will built an international airport and it’s included in DLP manifesto for the first time, I strongly believe DLP will built the international airport.
Build* You just making the DLP team look more incompetent
UWP also said they will re-build Roseau and certain areas of Roseau. The PM stated this some months ago. One cannot present a copy-cat Manifesto to the people.
After 15 years of power, when your a government is on its way out…is that the time to start planning such a major project as an airport… At least the UWP can boast that it acquired the land…what steps has the DLP taken yet to achieve that goal? NONE.
I SAY THIS IS PURE POLITICAL GIMMICK ON THE PART OF SKERRIT. IN FACT HE DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ACHIEVE SUCH A PROJECT.
Provisions have already been made with China to build the international airport.
Skerrit, for once stop talking about Linton and the UWP. Mind your own damn business!
As far as your manifesto is concerned, no doubt more of the same old s..t, more lies and more empty promises. What’s the point of having a big shiny manifesto if you have no intention of implementing it. So keep your manifesto and stick it where the sun does not shine. We will not allow you to fool us any longer with your big promises.
But they are his business stupid
Workers have to come better than that. How could you give impression that you are ready for the job when you don’t gat tools for the job. Be straight forward with the people. That is how you will earn the respect you deserve, what nonsense is that. You call for the election I am undecided I mean convince me to give you my vote.
What rubbish are you talking. Having the manifesto is one thing, but implementing what is in it is something else. Why is it that people who went to the State college had to be told they will get their copies in the mail. Stupes.
It seems you fraid if skerrit keep talking about linton you will vote skerrit? hahaha be brave and hold your ground, linton talk about skerrit enough
We the labar party had a manifesto for the last 20 years. If we had done anything it would be there for all to see but alas we have failed the Dominican people. In short a manifesto is nothing if we do not implement the contents. We do not want Labar or their manifesto, enough take them out , get rid of them. Time up.
It appears to me that there seems to be many UWP supporters that are displeased with the party’s timing of launching their manifesto and other general party affairs. This would be commendable and I would want to applaud the sincerity of the UWPites. However if one looks closer at the postings it appers that this the work of one individual who I daresay is not a UWP supporter. You see, there is such as thing known as IDEOLECT which basically means the way that one speaks or write. No individual has the same speech or writing pattern. This fact is used by profilers to authenticate speech and writings of criminals. It is even used to discern when one is under the influence of another person.
As to the subject at hand; what is this fascination of the prime minister with the opposition manifesto. My gut feeling is that the prime minister has already gotten a copy of such manifesto and is therefore worried about the impact of the opposition’s manifesto on his campaign.
Ah. One of the culprits have spoken
and you feel big we you said something lol,. you just said nothing
You know what you and other persons in Dominica cannot accept is the change in politic We are moving into the new democracy and if you don’t understand what that word mean you as well as others will be left behind.
I am proud that Team UWP party have come together and decided to educate our people on point of interest, I’m not going to condemn your ideas because every one of us must be able to think for ourselves we should not allow any other to speak for you you have the right to listen to both side then decide your faith.
Dominica is a very lovely place to live we all know that but which of the men who is asking to vote for them will do a better job, ,so I hope you will come to a place where and when you make your decision you will be ready to cast your vote ok
We as Dominicans cannot keep going down the wrong road and keep saying let Lennox and them fix it we have to join with them to be able to do just that.. come out in large numbers and cast your vote for Team Dominica UWP as your next Government .
Mr. Skerrit have done all that he can ask yourself this question how he have so much money giving out and many other things as incentive just to get votes, what happened why he couldn’t spend all that money on other projects that needed attention why wasn’t my people important to the PM and the DLP party before now .
CHANGE IS HERE FOR SURE.
What’s the big deal about a manifesto??? Most people use it to wipe their you know what, the rest can’t read it, or don’t have proper eye site to read it. UWP has been talking about their plans for the country for months. Where are have you people been? Mars?
My sentiments , exactly ! where have they been? I guess blocking their ears from the truth.
lose is a must
win is a must
no draw is a must
boy skerrit is really a mad mad. i have observed over the years that when skerrit says such things he is really talking about himself. remember he said jerry brisbane has hubris syndrome. when i did my research turns out the the pm is more exhibiting hubrist syndrom than any body else.
He is more than a madman, not even one screw loose but unhinged.
I have been observing the political situation in my beloved Dominica and am very sad and disappointed by the political parties and supporters in the way they are getting on. It is quite embarrassing the manner in which we are deciding the fate of our nation. But voting is a democratic right and responsibility even when the options at hand are less than appealing. Who is more capable? Who is less likely to jeopardize our fate? Who is more ready? Sad approach to voting but that’s the more sensible way. And with that, I had to observe that while one group have been claiming to be ready any time and the other was playing games to set the stage for the next 5 years, one group still shows up as not ready. Disappointed. With or without an election date a manifesto should have been ready ahead of time. It should have been circling the hands of citizens months ago because they should have been ‘that’ ready – yes, that committed to change. Sigh… guess we have to go with who is prepared, even if they had the advantage the other team showed up unprepared. Less and less do we have a choice. Sigh
A manifesto is a summary of what the parties intend to do over the elected period; The UWP is the only party over the last twelve months that have been religously articulating its plans and programs for the next five years in other words its manifesto. For those who followed the strategy of the UWP over the last few months would appreciate the fact that the guys have been doing a lot of consultations in and out of Dominica sharing their ideas for example the 21 in 25 tour of Dominica; the North American and European tours; the economic forum etc- and all the press conferences the radio programs all with the intend to bring out their programs in other words their manifesto in discussion. Example the 500 jobs in three years; the building of an international airport; the re-vitalization of the agricultural sector; the building back up of our local government system; making Dominica the best place to work, live, and enjoy; strenthening our institutional capacity; etct etc- so all that is neede is it to put in print form. So now they have consulted, gathered information and data they are analysing and putting it together – the moral of the story is that quite a lot of thought and detail will be in the UWP manifesto and I am prepared to wait for it because knowing Linton it will be well put together document.-
We will see who is prepared or not prepared, manifesto or not, to present our manifesto early ahead of time gives Skerrit opportunity to steal our ideas, classic example the international airport, creating 5000 jobs in three years caused skerrit to come up with N E P and the list goes on
15 years with a declining economy, no agricultural export, no manufacturing, no industry, declining tourism, jobs such as state college -Chinese, stadium- Chinese, west coast road -Chinese, Cane field to Melville hall airport road Gadakan, export of our pumice Gadakan, State palace loan for Dominicans to pay with interest, job Chinese, social security going brokes local private sector going out of business, Q95 Live programme declared skerrit took more than a billion dollars loan from chine without declaring it to he nation is that readiness,7 diplomats in Monaco, is that readi ness world most wanted criminal our ambassador to the F A O is that readiness?
workers I love u but its crying time again we cannot beat the red crew;they too strong for us . we hv to wheel lol and come again
Dominicans the Labor party is bankrupt of ideas to run the Country, hence the attacks. They have outlived their usefulness, we must in the interest of our Country vote them out. We are a Christian country and as such must denounce the works of evil and the agents of evil. We must call wrong wrong and right right. fourteen years of this is too much. Vote for Dominica vote for the workers team and we will see the way forward.
So why should Manefesto be an issue. We all know this corrupted Labour Party needs to go.
I am not surprised that UWP is going to lose dat elections. We are making and have made too many errors.
I make up my mind to vote for my party and campaign hard but we just wont make it this time around. We need to change course and leadership…to many isssues against us. and we self distruct too many times. We didnt lose the elctions we gave it to labour its like we were campaigning against ourselves. I love my Blue but its not possible that we will make it. I sad. red aunts bite us > no manifesto yet wawwwwwwwwwwwww. sad
Worst comment Ie ever heard…You sure you are blue? Dam ass !!!
I do not see the issue with who have and do not have manefesto. The issue people is to get this Corrupted labour Party out of office.
Mad pweeple in d yard. Say one say two but Labour have a sick crowd following them and its mixed young old middle age , poor poor poor middle class rich etc all religions lots of rastar also.
Well upee lose the manifesto battle big time last nite in d valley was a blow out I doh even want to deal with the launching on d front but I hearing is arawak Upee going tonite A movie dat or wat or they looking for Columbus
shame on team Fu
And. Not forgetting lazy beggars who always have the patience to sit and wait for prime minister for pocket change. Skerrit and his. Ppl mus behave themselves
You are jealous?
The Almighty is the one who elevates, promotes and demotes leaders. The knighthood is not of him so he must show his hand this time. Enough is enough.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers against the rulers of darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places. Let us put on the whole armour of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.We reverse all curses against Linton Thomson and the rest of the in the name of Jesus.
And woe be to Skerrit and his evil supporters and that Bishop is inviting these men to come and sign a conduct agreement, I joined the people of Dominica that live down there that Lennox should not accept the invitation he should start listening to his own supporters do go to the Bishop house let him get Skerrit to sign instead.
This is a warning. Leave the Bishop out of it. You are placing a curse on yourself when you speak against God’s consecrated people. If you were not aware of it or just ignore it, take note.
Yes conveniently quote scriptures to suit your political ideology. Don’t use the words of the bible in your foolishness. You hypocrites’ you need to examine yourself fist. Leave the biblical words out of your comest. Your God is also everybody’s God. SATAN
But pastors and priests do that all the time so why can’t God’s son, hmmm?
A dignified decision have been made to announce the election date to put the populace at ease. In a democratic environment each party should focus on their agenda to bring about much needed change for the advancement of Dominicas. That’s what the focus should be about.
Whenever one party publishes its manifesto is immaterial provided its strategic planning is timed to coincide with the build up to the election. What is the panic when a manifesto is publish. If one side of the electoral divide has its manifesto then GREAT. Lets not use immature, petulant tactics to deflate away from the real issues of poverty, crime, inequality, unemployment and injustice.
In local parlance, Awah! That will not do. The launch of a manifesto during election time is not only the tradition, but also an academic exercise – indeed a practical and pragmatic demonstration of a party’s serious attempt to present its plan to undo the very afflictions that you identify: crime, poverty, inequality, unemployment and injustice. The ruling party has shown its hand in that endeavor.
That Team Dominica can not – not now, not during the last election cycle – present a comprehensive, coherent and cohesive plan for Dominica’s development is fast becoming legendary. After months of declaring, “We are ready for the next election,” and taunting the Prime Minister to “Call it nuh,” it is now clear that the UWP was masquerading their readiness for the polls, let alone lead Dominica, by engaging in empty rhetoric.
Dominicans need less hyperbole, insults and uncivilized talk and more education from both parties about what they intend for the country.
Nothing less will do. Times are too crucial!
Team Dominica has talked, almost incessantly, about what they would and wouldn’t do if they were victorious at this general elections. However, one of the truths that I’ve learned in management these days is: “If your plan is not in writing, then it does not exist.”
Alas workers going to lose again
Troublemaker; cantankerous. Stirring up trouble, eh? You made me laugh.
The PM going off his head or what.
How he can say Mr. Linton is a cursed man, he think he himself better, God will judge him. You do not make statements like that regardless of who you are or what position you hold. He think he is a god. Well he is certainly not mines. And the thing that burning me more is some of them Caribs so stupid to think that he has done so much for them. Those same ones that more poor is they that calling labour. Let labour win for them to get poorer while the rich get richer.
If according to the PM Lennox is a cursed man I can also conclude that the PM is demonic.
but he cursed because he tried to remove the annointing on a pastor
what an angry PRIME MINISTER; too much anger pm; you might need a doctor’s check up for your BP;
So what?
ITS really unfortunate that we are nt readddy to replace skerrrit. dominicans love their pm alot while most of us blue tolerate linton.
labour is going to win again.
really belived we would ve had our manifesto already and look at that a launching of candidates at arawak–we aint serious—a movie dat cheeeeupes
You do not sound like a real UWP person. So many things to talk about including the anger and rage that the incumbent PM has, and his choice of words. You would really choose him over the fact that UWP has not yet released a printed manifesto? After all you’ve heard. Must be a Labourite pretending to be a worker.
Because the eyes of the workers is on God not on Linton, God will give him the grace, unlike the man Skerrit who wants his team and the country to worship. God is a jealous God, Skerrit will be cut down to size by the almighty.
pretender ,wolf in sheep clothing you are no U W P supporter.
Y is it that the party leader and supporters so afraid of lennox thlabouritelennoxhas to make up all kinds of lie so his supporters will stay true to him,n even telling none voters that if they stay home and dont come out n vote that would mean they voted for UWP… people (LABOURITES) open allu eyes
Now when it comes out in a few days, what the pm going to say?skerrit lying to much for a leader , he just have to go,not a good example for the youth
That they scramble to make one because they were embarrassed. Is this so hard to see?
And Linton is good example? It’s called electioneering. Persons get excited, passionate even heated about their cause. Wonder what we’d say if political campaigns were sad, morose occasions like funerals. Minus the mud-slinging and stretching of the truth to fit one’s narrative, I still think our elections are the most entertaining.
we cannot win labour
15000 COPIES and still we are not ready to present one copy.
this is untenable and an embarassment.
Labour is definitely ready not us
get vex if you all want
facts are stubborn
am upset
why would you be upset.What is so important about a manifesto. Promises you cant keep? You are easily swayed. You seem to be a rotten tree.
You cannot even spell, futhurmore to read manifesto. Fool !!!
YOU FOOL
you cannot even spell furthermore yet you telling the person they cannot spell.
UWP IS PWEE
What do you think 1,500 copies are? Copies of an original print. It does not matter how many copies that are available when they are ALL going to end up in the garbage bin.
Look at what the DLP is doing They are well organized. We wasted alot of monet globe trotting and now we are suffering badly. Am not a red but as an objective Blue we have to do something proper and soon. You all may attack me and call me red but lets be objective. The DLP campaign has put us in the shade. WE seem shell shock and confused since the date was announced. Why were we saying call it nuh and we were not prepared. We cried wolf and now we are in deep electoral mess.
Labour is heading to a resounding victory again and with their numbers coming down and what we are seeiing on the ground We cannot win. I blame the poor campaign team and wrong strategy, WHERE IS OUR MANIFESTO _ still in prink geeeez…to be available in the week of the 24th?????
LETS GET SERIOUS.
You too seem to be a rotten tree.What is so important about a manifesto ? Will it make you win.I would think campaigning is more important than a bunch of promises one might not be able to keep. You seem swayed by all little things. You not really a BLUE
Another fool. What a waste of writing ..Grow up!! Do you really understand the meaning of a manifesto ? Idiot !!
Joshua 6 King James Version (KJV)
1. Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2. And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour
I have been closely following the USA elections now for some 30 years and NEVER have I once heard of, or seen a manifesto. What I have seen is lots of DEBATES by those running. Manifesto is more lies than anything. WE WANT A DEBATE SKERRIT!!!
Too blind. I have also been following US politics, especially since the days of Ronald Reagan, closely. Indeed, I have seen many a political debate between those vying for political office, at one level or the next, in the US. But get this: I have also seen lots of political paraphenelia (flyers, badges, slogans, billboards, radio and TV ads, and the list goes on) highlighting and proclaiming the virtues and valuse of this and that politician. Now that we are in the Internet age, the barrage is even worse. Today, every politician has a website, full of links and pages, dedicated to communicating and promoting their plans for their would-be constituents. So, stop with your jokes. Help bring Dominica into the light, if you say you care for her.
What’s wrong with our so-called bright people? Where is your global enlightenment?
I don’t see what the fuss about and why PM so jealous and intimidated by Linton, the ppl of Dominica wants a change, why you fighting so had to prevent that…..
Don’t Yall remember the days of the bible, the peaceful one have God on their side… so we will all see who comes out victorious at the end.
The answer to all of the speculation is to VOTE, and VOTE WISELY.
This is the worst I have seen my party
Lennox please resign after the poll as leader
you will win your seat with a reduced percentage of votes
make way for fresh blood and its evident Dominicans dont love you.
we try to make you appear PMinisterial but thats not catching at all.
We UWp will not win I know Dominicans.
You too not really a BLUE. You have no confidence in yourself.You looking on others and want what they have. Be your own man and do your own thing.Dont look at the other one. Stand still.
Not really a blue ki sa! I agree with andrea. Call it as it is. Election call, Campaign in high gear and manifesto not nowhere ready? what nonsense is that? I thought them man more ready than that. Linton self self- Is a disappointment you know. Wheel and come again Linton! You are disappointing many
Tell Charlie this reverse psychology stuff is not working. This is kid’s stuff.
without lennox as the leader uwp would have been under water.. since he became leader he has brought ethusiasm and hope back…don’t be an imposter…you more red than red
Keep your pessimism to yourself . Have you not been listening to all the plans and ideas of the UWP TEAM DOMINICA ? I doubt you have
Thank you Laborite
TEAM UWP has been stating their Manifesto for the past year, people we already have an idea or how they want to change DA……DUH!! PEOPLE, SHAME ON YOU TO THINK A MAN LIKE LENNOX LINTON CANNOT WRITE OR COME UP WITH A MANIFESTO. STOP KIDDING YOURSELF!!1
Beware of the UNDERDOG.
The launching of the DLP’s Manifesto, I believe, was to highlight the achievements of the Government and to present an outline of plans for the future.
Taking time out to personally attack the opposition with regards to their Manifesto is, of course, way off subject as the Prime Minister changes the focus from his Party’s plans to make it seems like it is about a “Manifesto Competition”!
If Dominicans on a whole do not find this a bit troubling and, at best, laughable they are not keeping up.
Dominicans a Manifesto does not improve the DLP’s mismanagement of the Country’s purse. The facts are we are not growing our economy from within but we continue to borrow by the millions. This is not proper fiscal practice anywhere in the world!
The issues of jobs and monies not accounted for still hangs heavily over the Prime Minister’s head. Thus, no matter how pretty and well put together this Manifesto may be it still does not address the real issues that are crippling our economy. Getting millions from China, Venezuela and Morocco just to name a few, proposing numerous new projects that remains dependent on foreign aid and showing off how many millions can be spent on a campaign does not make for a better Dominica. Not as long as farming remains an afterthought while crippling rural villages, not as long as thousands of young men and women (educated and uneducated) cannot find a decent job, not as long as the cost of living keep rising and rising while wages keep stagnant, not as long as our Prime Minister and his gang keep getting wealthier each year while the average Citizen’s life become harder and harder each day.
As long as these issues aren’t addressed I will use several copies of this Manifesto as toilet paper since it is becoming harder and harder for me to purchase any!
I could not agree more!
Their is no controversy, somebody is either making a fool of Skeritt or wants him to loose the election. In this day and age of technology, how can a Prime Minister, so easily fooled, to the extent, you can call such propaganda, fabrication breaking news. Is this man stupid, mad desperate or what. Skeritt is making it to easy for Mr. Linton and UWP Team Dominica. A week ago he made a fool of himself by telling the public servants that they were paid back the 5% salary cut, low and behold, Mr. Letang, General Secretary of the Union publicly denied that his members had received any payments. In one breath he says, UWP is receiving million of dollars from colonizers, in another breath he says, UWP is broke. If I was in Skeritt’s place, I would let my surrogates spread all the propaganda and stay clean.
And then he says Lennox is. Cursed and a political fraud. It takes one to know one Skerritt. You are simply trying to shift the focus off your many wrongdoings. All of this focus on fraud and cursed man when you say you’ve already won the elections? Relax man you’ll give yourself a stroke!!
And the blind still have their blinders on.
Politics is serious vibes
Team Fu is not ready at all
Even our supporters are frustrated at the campaign and t shirts are discoloured, no spark just nothing, no real message its embarassing
You doh have clothes? You wanting on election to get anew shirt?You think clothes will make one win . You looking for stuff then go join REd
Thank you laborite
WORKERS is on its death bed seriously…..
Alas poor Team Fou!!!!!!
The UWP is losing the elections.
The DLP is much more convincing by several miles
Those kind of excuses that UWP is making doesnt help their case.
We all have to face th reality and never in my wildest imaginations that I thought the TEAM Dominica ‘s campaign would be such a major mess.
Give me a break 12 candidates at Newtown
Give me a break several thousands flooded The Bayfront in the biggest launch of candidates in our History and now you are hoping to have your launch at Arawak….Lets be serious.
The Manifesto of your party should have been long been in our hands because all the time you are telling the pm to CALL IT NUR. He called your blufff and we are now being ridiculed all over the island and region.
LL perception is everything and Dominicans are watching and you are not convincing. Labour is far far far ahead look at their numbers…Their pre-launch at the DSC was flawless and professionally articulated consistent with their launch of their candidates and this was topped up by lastnite at Trafalgar where a almighty multitude turned up NO BERES etc so its not about entertainment The people are with labour and they follow the DLP massively. Castle Bruce prayer vigil was mind boggling – another record for castle bruce compared to a shabby turnout in Newtown—those pics and videos on Fb of both are not photoshopped.
Lennox I hope you tender your resignation after the pending defeat and I further hope that the party re-structures itself.
WHERE IS THE MANIFESTO _____IN PRINT LOLOLOL give us a break.
If that is the case, why did Skerrit have to lie? People normally lie to remove shame from their eyes or when they want to create an impression hat is not there.
I will borrow from my counterpart Ttrubble Sum to help you understand. I think He coined it so well.
Excerpt from Trubble Sum :-
Dominicans a Manifesto does not improve the DLP’s mismanagement of the Country’s purse. The facts are we are not growing our economy from within but we continue to borrow by the millions. This is not proper fiscal practice anywhere in the world!
The issues of jobs and monies not accounted for still hangs heavily over the Prime Minister’s head. Thus, no matter how pretty and well put together this Manifesto may be it still does not address the real issues that are crippling our economy. Getting millions from China, Venezuela and Morocco just to name a few, proposing numerous new projects that remains dependent on foreign aid and showing off how many millions can be spent on a campaign does not make for a better Dominica. Not as long as farming remains an afterthought while crippling rural villages, not as long as thousands of young men and women (educated and uneducated) cannot find a decent job, not as long as the cost of living keep rising and rising while wages keep stagnant, not as long as our Prime Minister and his gang keep getting wealthier each year while the average Citizen’s life become harder and harder each day.
As long as these issues aren’t addressed I will use several copies of this Manifesto as toilet paper since it is becoming harder and harder for me to purchase any!
lol that’s the best.
We will see at the general eletions
The truth is Mr. Linton is a poor planner and leader. He lacks vision and foresight. He should never be the leader. He does not possess the necessary skills to be an effective leader. He is making too many mis
A POLITICAL LEADER MUST HAVE VISION AND FORESIGHT.
Listen pall. Lennox have more foresight than you have foreskin.
Where have you been? You are not serious . Please stop that untruth. Mr. Linton is one the best leaders Dominica has ever seen.
Dominican can slice it as they want. UWP isn’t ready for December 8th election in Dominica. Campaign is badly organized. Candantes do not have the funded needed to push their agenda. Six months ago Lennox ask the leading party to call election. Yet he isn’t ready to demonstrate an effective campaign. The Republican spend 3.67 billion dollars in America in the midterm elections. They campaign well , spend Money and they came out victorious. In politics you need money, you need leadership skills, you need good political advisers and team Dominica has none of the above to implement the change that they claim they want to bring to the Dominican electorate.
Compared Dominica to America still.
get your facts straight .Republicans did not win because they spend thousands of dollars on campaign.
Why don’t you shush. Money is and was a contributing factor. It is necessary in politics to get your message out in order to convince people that yours is the better plan. It’s that simple. Get to under stand the nature of electioneering and politics.
You are so well informed about the u s a and do not see the ills that is plaguing your own country with all the lies corruption, miss appropriation, fireboming, poor handling of states resources, supporting criminal elements in the police service, yet you can only see that U W P is not ready but you cannot see the lies the deception, the miss appropriation, the miss handling of the economy the miss management of the country, ebeh vou say un Sol.
It is quite sad how the PM says he loves the people of Dominica and in the same breath fill their lives with lies about the opposition.
Shame on you Mr. PM. The World is watching. those Lies you’re telling the people will someday be your bedtime story.
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.if you see a crocodile
don’t forget to scream!
Lololol.. Beat up yourself still linton our vlay pou pm??? lololol Ou pakay jamay weh ca!!!
and the very sad thing is they believe everything he says. They don’t inform themselves .SMH
It is you my brother that is cursed. That you would resort to fraud… …about what? UWPs manifesto. If I was like you..I would tell you”it is not your damn business” but I will let Dominicans say it loud on December 8th. You presented a manifesto . For every election and this one. Where are we now vis your previous manifestos?.
UWP will present their Manifesto in due time. Don’t tell us when to present our manifesto. Don’t burst your vein…take it easy.
Skerrit take your words back! you are the curse one . You are the foo one . You are the one which received a cross or whatever it was from the illunmati group.
These are words that are coming out from a PM of a country and I suppose take my hands and put an X by you. You got to be kidding me.
Why he trying to turn it around like Skerrit is UPSET abt their manifesto or lack there off. All Skerrit say is they have none yet again, how is that being upset. This backing and forthing again has turned into rum shop maypwe. Lennox aint nobody say the man upset, where and what you all do with or without a manifesto thats uwp business. I would be happy if you did have one though ill wait til next week to read it before i can decide who not to vote for., if i vote at all. At least id like to see exactly how uwp is going to do alllll what they say they going to do and if their plans which initially sound like pie in the sky and crack pipe dreams are actually viable and doable. Like Jospeh Isaac saying they want to put a swimming pool in the High Street area where olympians can “practice” for olympics. you train for the olympics Joseph, not practice. Anyway i waiting for the manifesto Lennox, passit when it ready.
If so many learned men cannot prepare a common manifesto on time, even after they have viewed copies of several regional manifestos, how will they work on national projects within a time frame?
They knew of the expected date of elections, they had money to tour the world, they are well educated, well connected men, they taunted for the election date – “Call it nuh”. Now that polling date is called the best they can do is conjure up smoke screens and give excuses in place of a manifesto. Shame! An insult to Dominicans!
I can only conclude that it is not so much that they are not ready, but they don’t care to ready themselves. So they play with Dominicans, insult us and see how much we will take.
Since we have been taking well, they are now giving us their brown kaka and telling us it is fruit cake. They ease back and laugh as we fight each other to gobble it down.
In assessing the situation I find that there is a time in the life of a political party when remaining in Opposition for the benefits that can be derived (from both local and overseas sources) is the objective. It seems to me that the UWP is in that time zone.
Understand, but plz go out and vote. None is perfect or will give you all what you want. Still, the franchise it too important not to honor.
photoshop my foot

21st dec was your date

come on Team D
yu are not convincing me at all
your campaign is shabby
i am not impressed
time is running out

Why are you guys so obsessed with a manifesto/?I have been 20 years in the USA and I have never seen a manifesto of any of the parties.I have shaken hands with governor,,sit and talk at my house with my district rep. and have never been handed a manifesto .all they talk about is what they have done. A manifesto means nothing. Are you Dominicans want to be the laughing stock of the Caribbean?
Do you need a manifesto to vote? I thought you all wanted a better way of life. Why are so many of you complaining when you are reluctant to find out whether or not the grass is really greener on the other side. VOTE YOUR PAIN.
Hmmmmm undecided voter my foot. You know exactly where stand. You will not be impressed unless you decide to allow change. From your comments you do not want change and have already made up your mind exactly where you will be voting.
I can’t wait for the 8th of December for all this … to be done with …….
Hope you dont cry in the end
It is obvious that desperation is really setting in in the Prime minister’s led Deception Lies Propaganda (DLP0 campaign, when he cannot tell the electorate what is it he and his party intend to do differently, over the next five years for which they are seeking another term. Instead, he is preoccupied with the opposition’s manifesto.
Mark you this is the same people who some years ago dismissed manifesto, as not been relevant. But you know the concept of deflection, deception, lies, and propaganda, in the absence of any thing of substance to offer the electorate.
What is more troubling, is the fact that this propaganda is been funded by the taxpayers, in paying someone employed by the labour party, to hack into the opposition’s websites, including their Facebook page, and insert these lies.
I was very pleased with the response give by the UWP Team Dominica Leader, although I was disappointed in Matt for rebroadcasting such propaganda.
well said
Why is the PM so intimidated by Linton? If I recall correctly, it was he who told Mr Linton to “come into the ring”. This is a democratic nation and because Mr Linton accepted the challenge of joining the political arena, he is now considered a “political fraud” and a “cursed man”… why? Is this the level that politics in Dominica has dropped to? If so…it does look very promising.
am for one is very dissappointed in the team dominica(uwp)the labour party have waged war and uwp there playing peacefull..people their is no sorry in war and eggs donot take part in any battle not even as peacemaker…we are too peacefull..skerrit calling for blood yet allu there playing peacefull…fight fire with fire thats the only way uwp going to achieve any thing…importation of votes…widespread bribery…lavish spending of state funds for campaign…attacking uwp with lies and propanda…yet allu there playing peacefull..rise up brothers
Team Fou allu was soo ready but yet still allu cannot complete allu manifesto…set of losers
skerro ki fou
Did UWP said they are not completing their manifesto? No they did not so stop spreading lies.
Here you are calling people foo. A leader of a people is a reflection of who they are. So I don’t blame you.
Ignorant people. Dominica is a very strange place.
As is every other place on planet Earth, especially one that we do not understand.
Skerrit seem to be in need of urgent help, and although I an NOT and will never be a Labourite with Skerrit as leader,I find it WICKED,that those close to him are not compelling him to have a psychological evaluation.! Is it Skerrits DARN business when Team Dominican releases its manifesto. Wasn’t it the same Skerrit who was walking with the ele tion date in his back pocket.He needs to ask Goo Goo Gar Gar when Le
Alas skerro poor you
Yes, a COMPULSIVE one.
When a party has to use fraud to deceive people by posting false pages of the opposition on the internet: People what else that they would not do? Time will Tell!!!! Wake up DA!!
That is because
‘For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.’
‘Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)
not intending to swing towards any political party’s side but maybe it’s time to say why uwp is good and deserve a vote, and not why dlp is bad.. just a thought
U — Unorganized
W — Without
P — Plan or Purpose
I like that……hahaha
YOU REally have no plan or purpose .Seems like you talk from your heart.That is you
U — Unorganized
W — Without
P — Plan or Purpose
Did they use a local printer for that to keep at least some of their money on island.
Foolish question. Do we have the capacity to print scuh large volumes? Stop insinuating malice where none need exist.
so Linton can’t create a manifesto so he sets it 10 days in the future. lol UWP
