The opposition United Workers Party (UWP) has said it is intensifying preparations for the next general elections which is constitutionally due in two years’ time.
A party retreat held on the weekend was described by Political Leader, Edison James, as “the beginning of the intensification of our preparation for governmental operation and action.”
“We are poised to return to government,” he told participants of the retreat. “The current regime is a government in hiding, we are a government in waiting.”
In his speech at the event, James said his remarks were directed to a group of Dominicans who he described as ‘Youth 2000.’ “These are our sons and daughters who will be, by the constitutional date of general elections, between the ages of 18 and 30 years,” he said.
He noted that people in that age group are being targeted because they are not aware of the UWP’s achievements and performance during its reign between 1995 and 2000. “They do not know we built the Delice/Petite Savanne Road, they may not know we built the Grand Bay Secondary School, they may not know we built the Castle Bruce Secondary School and constructed 30 new classes at the Portsmouth Secondary School,” James pointed out.
He went on to say that the group may not know that the UWP built the Concord Primary School, the Jimmit/Warner Road, as well as the North East Comprehensive School, among others.
He argued that these ‘achievements’ must be highlighted because the Dominica Labour Party would prefer citizens believe that the UWP has made no contribution to the development of the nation. “One stated mission is to kill us as like cockroaches with their shoes and to destroy us with their drones as Obama destroyed Al Queda operatives,” James stated. “But while they focus on destruction, our focus is on building this country and its people.”
James said the UWP’s first order of business is to defeat what he described as “that monster called unemployment.” “Twenty-six percent of unemployment among Youth 2000 spells disaster and we must confront that threat head on,” he said. “It was not so under the past UWP administration, it is not going to be so under a future UWP administration.”
He said the UWP will also concentrate on sound investments in education and training, the productive sectors, economic infrastructure such as an international airport and an international convention center. “All geared at reducing unemployment and poverty,” he noted.
James stated that the UWP will combat crime and violence but will also ‘fight for justice.’ “Justice for example for Mr. GON Emanuel and his wife who have been victims in what appears to be state facilitated injustice,” he noted.
He called for candidates to contest the elections on behalf of the UWP and expressed concerns that the private sector is placing stumbling blocks in the way of employees who are interested in contesting the election for the opposition.
He called on the young people in “Youth 2000” to support the party in the run up to the election.
“Help us to help you earn your own money and restore your independence, your pride and self-worth,” he said.
just listen to de brakes song and you will know all what UWP did!!!
Workers Kar Faire kashoi tout par too! Great song. Well Done by Workersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
What UWP did is a history lesson. We are more interested in what they are going to do. Seriously, whether or not I will support them will depend on that but so far we have not seen any concrete plans yet. If they want to keep it secret, fine but I’m not going to vote for a secret party that preaches transparency and certainly not after the present lot.
You wont see cause your two ears are blocked with wax. I have heard them and ia am more than impressed.

If there is any politician in Dominica who is capable of articulating and communicating his idea and plans is Edison James. In order to facilitate biases people rather not listen and are led by emotions. Is that how we want to build a better Dominica by continuing ths jungle like approach to interaction.
I believe that Edison has on numerous occasions dealt with te real issues that we ace in Dominica that is unemployment,te lack of a productive and stainable economy, Agriculture, marketing strategy, tourism. If we all remove the artisan hat we will all agree that we are seriously Underperforming in te areas mentioned.
The element of listening is vital to efficient communication. Instead of babbling why don’t we listen. In this era we ought not to allw politicians to suppress the hardcore reality with loud music and Siwo. In my own assessment our people are like toddlers – shake a bunch of keys, “shack shack’ , clapping etc.
We are supposedly a mre enlightened people yet here is Edison James articulating the issues from the sde of the opposition and we ave a sitting government who is continently running fom issues relating to growth drivers. In every civilized society people would want to at least listen to a debate or discussion between SKERRIT and Edison on the matters that are off importance. I am stiill baffled that educated men like Parry Bellot , Arthey Aaron and others would seek to discourage such a noble and necessary requirement of a democratic electoral system. So it is reasonable to assume that there is a willful and deliberate effort by some to perpetuate the ignorance and primitive behavioral culture of te 1960’s only to fulfill their own selfish motives. Yet we alk about coming together to build a ation.
In 2010 the PM emphasized the need to have open dialogue but the very same speech writters are discouraging open dialogue between the encumbrance and the opposition. Pierre Charles was bold enough to chastise Dominicans fr the brant delay of ignorance. I am sure that Pierro or Rosie would be more than willing to ignore the unnecessary bobbing and weaving to sit Dwn and do a tet a tet discussion with Edison James on matters that are critical to our development.
Reading through the comments and I see and hear the clambering of distractive noises -the sound of empty barrels controlled by devious and selfish political party operatives. I see people who are so programmed that once that camaign buzz comes on these people put on their Red or Blue T- shrt whether or not the t-shrt is clean , washed out or even stinks. They care nt whether the T-shirt. Causes rash or embarrassment.
I try to be analytical Not Partisan.in my humble assessment I have seen a country tat has been driven into poverty and misdirection. It is easy to blae the politicians and knowing that my comment will be misconstrued or taken as an attack on the current administration I will say that the politicians in government are lately responsible however we te people of Dominica are our biggest enemy.instead of standing up for our country we prefer defend and elevate dishonest politicians – we totally ignore the relevance of te process , the burning issues, the bread and butter elements. Instead we resort to things that are immaterial ; the very things that have allowed s to fall to the bottom off te bucket.
If we won’t respect ourselves te politicians won’t. If we won’t act like educated people te politicians and their special interest friends will treat us like fools.
all this talk ,llet us build dominica .skerrit/edision.too much petty talk.mr pm we definitely need this intl airport in order to compete on a level playing field.get d/ca moving .I say let china help with funding this project.
I can’t believe some Dominicans, why are they so ignorant and stupid. You are saying that UWP isn’t giving there plans for when they get to office,,,,, but that is what i read about……I read about some of the plans they have in store for when they get to office. All you all are concerned about is what he didn’t say, so negative about the man can’t focused on what is written…….fraid all you fraid like dat ……… UWP going to put all u out watch and see…………Up to now i haven’t heard the PM congratulate the new PM for barbados you won all the sits that the poll said freedom would lose, they voted the labour party out. good for them…………. The same ting going to happen in D/A. doh worry skerrit all u want all u will see……….. We goin to vote them out , they not getting any sits….Watch.
Wow… Intelligent debates only please. I couldn’t understand two words of what you’re tryig to say. Actually, tell a lie, I understood only the Barbados PM sentence.
Why don’t you learn to construct a sentence properly so that other people can understand what you are trying to say?
What are the plans !!
If circumstances were different I would volunteer to be a candidate. But I promise to be on the ground helping. If we do not come together to make this happen then Roosevelt Skerrit and his gang will just bury Dominica in this coming new term.
I am all in!
So Will I also.
I was all excited about voting in the last election for the UWP because of their previous achievements; but could not pull myself to vote as the party failed to convince of a proper development plan for our country.
I am optimistic that they will present a plan to address the issues. I think most people are very much aware of the shortcomings of the present administration so while they should be highlighted a lot more emphasis should be place on the party’s plan moving forward. I hope to hear nothing less than a 70:30 ratio re uwp forward plan:dlp shortcomings.
The fact that there is preparation necessary shows that the opposition is underperforming and failing their supporters. I have been asking for many years, what are the policies they have in place to take dominica forward. Preparation should not be needed for people to know how you intend to take dominica forward. It should be continuous development of policies. Always a next step, a building block, an amendment to current plans, not a grand plan. I am however happy that they are planning because we need an effective opposition. The government can flex its muscles in any direction because the opposition is in disarray. I hope they just let go of the skerrit bashing once and for all and work on their policies.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Words of wisdom!!!!
Boy long i havent seen so many dislikes in a post , if not the first time…lol
UPP, I will win the Wesley constituencies for you and take on the IT portfolio. I can guarantee you at least 5000 jobs in that area within the first 3 years.
Call centers, think tank, Software development companies, IT services companies, card processing companies, IT consultancy, Education both in person and online (research Moodle) and the list goes on. Of course not forgetting the application of IT in agriculture science, more specifically AI.
All those bush medicines we have, we can build software that will make that information available to the world using AI as an alternative to modern pharmacy, where a persons can access a site developed by us in Da, provide information and get a possible diagnosis along with the possible medications both bush medicine and those from the pharmacy.
This will make us a tourist site for natural, herbal healing. Think of the spin off to the economy, the grand mothers can and would become self sufficient and self employed.
We have a very competitive work force. They are very educated and not as half as expensive as the majority of the other Caribbean countries.
The labor party does not want that, why? The red clinic, if you need them for food, you will always vote for them.
Election will come and the DLP will go!

What is preventing you from doing it?….A party colour? Well you are doomed at the start…because Hector John will never be PM and I don’t see Dominicans voting John McCain, ops I mean Edison james or Ron Green
If you could read, or at least “overstand” what you read you would have seen and understood this sentence.
“The labor party does not want that, why? The red clinic, if you need them for food, you will always vote for them.”
NO wonder our country is in such a mess, the “Not so intelligent ones” and their cronies are our leaders. This is a sad era in the history of my country
Rasta wesley have 5000 people?
i go call you
That just confirms how blind you are Mr. James. Labour Party is a party in hiding? For your information This party is standing right in front of you in plain view and performing magnificently. Your problem is, if you want to be truthful, your party can not live up to the standard of the DLP that is why you have taken up the position to find and fight whatever you all perceive to be corruption in government. That is the only way you all believe you will stand a chance. DLP is truly a superior party and better for the country.
I supporting grass against skerry….but I also not supporting Edison James and his old A### ideas….Garson make room for others…so unless Dominica doh get a new party I Not Voting
all this negativity by the labourites supporters i think they are just afraid and full of doubts about skerrit and labour
UWP begins to prepare for yet another general elections loss in 2014.
Not enough boots on the ground lol!hahahaahhaa=extremely low support only a few ahfouah wees a few confuses Barre’ peeps and a struggling capital now flooded withour Caribben neighbors from the northern caribbean.
Is Alos alive ? Al the hoopla extreme pay-off for guy who paid off to ru lost to Ugg Can Ugg pull it off again?I often wonder!
It is not by accident or through sheer arrogance that some persons are calling Dominicans stupid. In every other country in the eastern Caribbean, the citizens vote their politicians out of or into office based on non performance or issues of national importance. However in Dominica, the populace vote them in because of love. No consideration is given to non performance, incompetence or malfeasance; on the contrary, they seem to revel in just such negative behaviour.
A man makes a statement and rather than examine the statement persons come here making all kind of asinine statements. Some even follow the lead of an ignorant politician and asks the man to go throw stones in the sea, can you believe this? Others, disguise their stupidity and refusal to take a stance against wrong behind the veil of leadership. To those I say the party has decided that in the circumstances Mr. James is the most qualified and competent individual to lead the party, so please look beyond this and do what you know to be right.
Papa Dom, Well said!!!!!!!!
Its the culture here in Dominica…. I like you, I vote for you….. or you pay me, I vote for you. Sad Sad Sad. I think its also because most Dominicans are ignorant. Ignorant is a harsh word, but it basically means don”t know. There is also a lack of moral pride to do what is right.
Well if Mr. James is the best the party has to offer as leader then good grief! As much as I believe in the right to vote and have exercised that right religiously, I, for one, will not be voting in the next elections … be it 2013, 2014 or 2015.
My suggestion would be to let the all conquering investigating journalist Mr Lennox Linton come forward for the (UWP) but Eddie will never give up his pet project, leader of the (UWP) the problem with Lennox Linton is he has compromised his position as an investigative journalist because has chosen only to investigate Mr Skerrit corruption practices but ignored the (UWP) wrongdoing, Lennox has got creditability issue, when Lennox was once asked the question whether he was at St Kitts airport with Edison James and Earl Williams a simple reply yes or no was not forthcoming, he went to elaborate about having a family to feed which had nothing to do with the question that was put to him.
Here are simple questions for which we the people of Dominica have not received an honest reply. ” Mr skerritt, do you have an interest in the lilac apts, Mr Skerritt did you own a French passport on nomination day 2009″
its always good to get a good joke now and then..and this one number one.
In all of this I really feel bad for Hector John…Isn’t opposition leasder andleader of the party..why EdisonJames doin the talking?
Hector should have stayed in America,do his one year trainging and get a real job…
Hector get out of UWP nonsense before it is too late. Bow your head and go to the winning team, DLP
Educate yourself Sir/Mdme. Hector John is the opposition leader but Edison James is the leader of the party.
Regardless of what title he holds, he looks a pawn in these fellas game…This man should have learnt from the mistake of his protege Earl and take a page from the fallen man….
But he too looks like a stubborn dude…oh well…mind he don’t end of like lennox, jobless and making noise on radio
Why don’t the U W Pwi just retreat into non-existence???
You fraid man. lol woshh.
Now, why would you want that? Just please give a credible and or logical reason why you think the party should, according to you, “retreat into non-existence”? And please don’t drag me into a partisan debate. Let us simply talk.
But you blue blue blue we saw u last election with people and some of those people who you knew and some who you knew were placing X’s all over d place for uwp last elections ?
Come on my boy
my padner go & take a rest plz or join the gorvernment if u really want to help build dominica
The words have been spoken. Let the real action continue on the ground. Take note of the many DLP organized community fetes in Bath Estate, Point Michel, Mahaut and Grand bay, sponsored by the Mayor, Parl. Reps and DLP operatives. The DLP is aggressively on the move doing whatever it has to do to win all 21 seats.
Elections may be constitutionally due in 2014 but it seems more imminent in the DLP’s reality. The opposition must unify its leadership structure and paint a single, dominant, and confident political face moving forward on the ground- keeping the people politically warm and informed.
In spite of the many failures of the DLP, like Appeal Court Judge Baptiste recently said, the flaws notwithstanding- the other side will present a strong, albeit incoherent lie to the people and the opposition will have its work cut out for it whenever elections are called.
The UWP must not be poised to return to government per se. The focus must be on defeating the DLP, recognizing its limited resources rather than thinking of being in government at this juncture. The latter will be the product of the former. Moreover, there is no need to be too greedy like the DLP; a simple one seat majority is enough to redirect our national priorities.
Let us not be fooled. The DLP government is not in hiding. This is boldface, arrogant and badly wounded government that will do whatever it has to do to win at the polls, if it means exterminating its legitimate political opponents as terrorists. It has already declared that much and it will go after anyone who is in hiding.
Mr. James focus on the youth is a good strategy. However, the party must engage and employ the youth to take the message of hope to the youth where they socialize (on the courts, through music and through social media in cyber land). The message must be delivered in a way that is palatable to the youth and in a manner that they can receive and accept it.
For instance, there must be more emphasis on youth issues presented by youth representatives on the Thursday evening radio programme. The hosts should introduce various segments dedicated to the youth, the women, the businessmen, the hoteliers, farmers; –perhaps a 10 minutes slot for voices of the youth on the street, the farmers in the field, the retailers in the community shops etc. Allow the youth, farmers, and nurses, teachers to express their concerns in their own words and in their own environment.
The party cannot simply go traditional with the same old campaign strategy. That will fail as it has done in the last two elections. We are no longer in 1988. There must be a lot of thinking outside the traditional campaign mold, while keeping it civil and lawful but exciting and successful. The hard facts and burning issues of corruption, unemployment, lack of integrity etc will not be sufficient when faced with the millions from passport sales and from donations from far away lands in the new culture of dependence and freeness.
Best wishes to the opposition forces. May our young democracy flourish. God bless Dominica.

i find they preapring early eh to lose
concern citizen April 10, 2013
“Mr. James can you please spell out your foreign policy plans. If you were to be elected would you sever ties with china, Venezuela, morocco etc.”
I am sick to my stomach; of more than seventy comments I read, not a single one of the comments made any sense, and so I need to ask: are there no intelligent people left in our country?
Could it be that if there are any intelligent people left they are just not interested in the brand of politics we offer on Dominica?
Poor English, combined with stupid comments dominates; nothing said makes any political sense, one idiot speaks about the elevation of some part of a road, which he/she claims, is hard for busses, and trucks, to negotiate, and blames the elevation of the road on a former government!
I find that so stupid.
In the first place Edison James I am sure did not cut and construct, that portion of the road, therefore if someone is to be held accountable for poor construction, and planing of the project, the blame should be on the shoulders of the people who were involved directly in the construction of the road.
There is another problem which must considered, and that is the terrain of that area of the country, one should appreciate they were able to get a road through. And although I do not wish to get too political about it, and have no intention of trying to influence any vote on either side of the issue, one need to be reminded that the UWP has accomplished more in less than five years than some government has accomplished in almost twenty-years!
If I was ask between Edison, and Skerrit, which of the two accomplished more, I would probably say they both have accomplished about the same amount, giving a slight edge or advantage to Skerrit, with an explanation; which would state he has held power longer than James, therefore it is expected that his record will show he accomplished more.
In any event all the claims Edison James made regarding the accomplishment of his party are all true, and correct; if his program was not derailed by the combined forces led my Athie Martin, Dominica would have an International Airport operating this day in our country.
Mind you I was in Dominica listening to a meeting in Wesley, which was held at four corners, near the police station, when the idea was conceived in Athie’s head when he said “from here I am going to see if I can get the opposing party’s to come together and defeat the UWP.”
He succeeded, thus after the election, there was no actual majority winner, hence the coalition government was born.
Now their first order of business was to shut down the construction of the International Airport which was actually in the first phase of development. They claimed that Dominica could not afford one, and based on Gonzalez of St. Vincent, and Bertrand of Trinidad, Dominica would be better off if we installed landing lights at Melville Hall Airport.
Finally one of the stupidest comments of all is in the quote above I do not if Dominica Government does not have any domestic policy, what the heck foreign policy we have I wish I could write forever on this, if I do I doubt that it will be approve if it is too long.
He who fight and run away will live to fight another day!

As an independent voter it’s in my interest to know if Mr. James would be friends with these countries. My reason for asking is clear and simple, because all UWP has been doing is bashing the Chinese, bashing Chavez, even after the death of the man, they was rejoicing. Also it’s not a secret that the UWP and the Taiwanese are friends so if elected would we move to Taiwan. UWP supporters don’t know how to win votes; don’t know how to gain support my educating the massive.
Perhaps if you simply ask if he would sever diplomatic relations with some particular country, I would have overlooked the question, because as it stand Dominica government does not have any foreign policy!
My definition of foreign policy would mean: matters to do with international relations, and with the interests of the home country in foreign countries; and the policy of a sovereign state in its interactions with other sovereign state.
Our governments try to run around the world signing all sorts of documents claiming to have established diplomatic relations with countries which has no say in world affairs the same as Dominica. They say we are in the United Nations however we are there only as a token; we cannot vote on anything which is tabled, hence our presence there is considered irrelevant.
When our prime ministers say they have established diplomatic relations with a country, the purpose is to solicit handouts, which when received serves no significant purpose.
How many of these countries you hear Dominica have established such relationship with has established a consulate or embassy in Dominica?
Perhaps Venezuela, and perhaps China.
All the rest of our friends are in the same boat as Dominica, poor as dirt!
We say we have established diplomatic relations with China, at a very heavy cost. One of the price we pay to be so called friends with China is to be obedient to China, that is what the Chines demand!
Have you ever heard of the term ” the one China policy?”
Well that means total allegiance and obedience to China; in that case we have relinquished our sovereignty to a foreign power, and a communist foreign power at that; that may be the only foreign policy our government has at this time.
Have you noticed that China seems to have a base in Dominica, in that any assistance they give to our country which involves money, the work is done by imported Chines from China, they spend very little money from their pocket in our grocery shops, they raise their pigs for meat, they plunder our wild life, and rivers too.
I am told whereas it is illegal for Dominicans hunt at a certain time of the year, the Chines are not prohibited from hunting in the off season.
That is a very costly price to pay diplomatic friendship with any country!
It is interesting to note whatever they spend in Dominica, the people, the taxpayers will eventually have to pay it back.
Now more than four years ago an Chines official told this present government that the only time Dominica will begin to make some progress, is when we build an International Airport.
My question here is how come they have not suggested they would finance it.
They loan billions to the great United States of America, but for our loyalty, they hand us peanut change, and the crumb from the bread the devil leaves!

Telemaque stop talking Down and At our people who do you think you are? Are you better than anyone here .This place is simply to make your comments,Discuss and share information not to Cuss people out. We are free to talk how ever we like Be it Creole, French English,Kokoy and even the language you expect (yours)
skerit realy blindfold his support.see they can’t even write inglish properly!
Poor you cocoye.Did you read over your comment before you posted it?..Now see who is blindfolded..Your D.. A..!
Better late than never..
Don’t worry……labour has a bright,promising batch of new university graduates,innovative,passionate, educated and the list goes on of young vibrant people coming to take over n run election with Skerrit on the DLP ticket. Soon you will vote for your representatives not just for Skerro because we will understand your worries,your struggles, unemployment, lack of funding for education etc.We will cater to the young and the old. The DLP tsunami will wash ashore with hope, productivity and a bright future for all.
God is good all the time and All the timeGod is good. Let not your heart be troubled.Just get ready n leave d job to us.
Yeh we are about to go into another election campaign mode where the significant issues are immaterial. People are getting hyped only to go to rallies and motorcades and then note for a shoot of rum, 5 sheets of ply, $1500 here and $50 there.
Of the many people who shouted red is bread or better of dead if not red what question do you ponder upon. Are you satisfied with the bread and are you better off now. Note I can’t ask a non-red supporter the very same question.
As for me I have been beaten twice and recognize scanners, bull ” sheeeeeters”, inefficiency , selfishness and greed. Unfortunately all we have posing as leaders are the greedy, greedier, sorry to say but that includes thieves, scum bags, pathological liars, leeches and vulchers. As a responsible citizen I must choose one and it may just be the greedy.
The greedy must however convince me that the liars, thieves, vultures and fire bombers will be prosecuted who and wherever they are.
I am not that big into politics but i must say if UWP comes back in power Dominica will lose all ties with the countries that are helping Dominica.
What Eddo and UWP getting preparation for another shameful lost I hope this time he go plant fig in Marigot and Prevost will open another BY TRINI
And the youth need to know that Eddison James ran the Treasury broke and it was the Government of the day who saved it!!
Edison,when is the constitutional date for elections?
DNO,was my comment to stairght forward that’s why you dodn’t pyblish it?Don’t I have the right to say it as it is?I’d like a response from you.
I would not cite the Jimmit/Warner road as an achievement. The gradient apporaching the road at Jimmit is too steep. Buses and trucks struggle to successfully navigate this protion of the road.
This was clearly a rush job before election.
I was thinking the same think.
The truth is the truth. That is one hell of a scary road. God forbid your engine stalls on that steep way up! The stuff of nightmares.
The position need new leaders with a new plan and good ideas for Dominica,this guys already shown they cant lead Dominica.
well sit down and wait for new plan and leaders still, in the meanwhile skeritt and crew will destroy dominica irreversibly.
So what you saying is just vote UWP blindly? assuming that the current UWP can do a better job than DLP?
UWP need new faces, new vision amongst other things to impress and catch the eye of the public? so we all could say yah leh Labor weevay UWP can do the job. but for now? majority of the citizens aint gonna vote beelee that! They fed up with DLP and there’s no proper oppossition.
What Edison think?Dominicans are not so DOMINACAN as they and their supporters say AND believe.Hell no;we not coming from the frying pan and jump in the fire…WE DIE NOH?!..Labour Power…can’t be tested.
your so right UWP wante to give you work so you can have your life and buy want you want and labour giving you free home and free money and thats just what DOM-IN-CANS come to now hand out the bad thing about you is you DIE and you dont know that sorry for you and the many rest like you? that don’t want to work had and love give me
You are really sounding like a dead man.You are ‘Bwe Lay’ you are a ghost, you are dead, you are even a loo gar woo”
Someone is posting as IPO…DNO how can this happen?
lol
hey Mr James u have to come good boy to win skerro. If needs be we will come from all over to keep him there he belongs there. you all r jokers
So why allu diden put all de achievements on allu manifesto nuh? Allu expeck DLP to big up allu achievements..zor fou gason…when you have twenty-one (21) credible candidates I will say you ready, when you start making clear your alternative policies etc, I will believe, until then..it will always be “en wouge encore”..
Edison you talking about UWP do this and do that..so what happen,ALL YOU(UWP)didn’t want to do something with the Farmers Banana money you all were using and left the Industry BANKRUPT? You talking about debt piling up on Dominica.How is UWP going to fund the International Airport you so madly talking about?with stones? Remember when you were in power you all(UWP)had pay some people(farmers)for lands you all say you purchased from them to build that same International Airport you talking about.Up till now,no airport and the people got paid for land that they still have and owned.
Eddo you will never become prime minister. give it up my broda. your time done!
Mr.James tried something. He tried to play dead to see what kind of funeral he will get. Obviously, it is clear that he got less than an official funeral. he was burined anyway.
I believe what Mr. James and his party tried to do is to see what reaction the people would give if he was to lead his party into the next gheneral elections. It is cleasr that Lenox Linton is a more popular person than Mr. james and so supporters of the UWP are calling for him. Mr. James can leave his party in the hands of a man from Marigot by stepping aside and allowing Lewnnox to run for Marigot as political leader of the UWP. With Eddo at his side, Lennox wil win even if with a smaller majority, but he will win. UWP cannot win enough seats to form the government, but what will happen, Lennox will replace the dead meat we preswently have as Opposition Leader and frustrate the government going into a fourth successive term. That makes sense to me. Surprisingly, no one mentioned Spaggs as a potential PM, buthe is Opposition Leader (de facto PM in waiting anyway). Eddo that was free advise.
Hahahaha, you may wish to be reminded that “freeness is worryness”
Persons …So how you mean missa Jamse play ded fu se wha funeral dey go gie eee :mrgreen:u mek me laf man!!
Am a strong supporter of the united workers party who lives in new york when its time for election the ticket can be over a thousand dollars to come home but me and my family of five is coming to vote for Eddooooooo all the way.blue blue god loves uuuuu Eddo
IF DOMINICA COULD TALK,I’m sure IT would tell Edison;Please,stop wasting your time;I don’t need your help,give a younger man a chance!And MAYBE…but not this coming election…21-0…in favor of DLP…
you have no idea how funny this is.
“If Dominica Could Talk” 
well u know what Dominica people can and the will once again
You the people asking Edison James to take a back seat, dont you all watch TV to see men much older than Edison contesting election? the older the grapes the sweeter the wine. Mr. James do not worry with them check your vibes as long as you feel you can make it, do not make them force you to pack before your time. God Bless you!!!!
For the past 20 years, including the last election, I supported and voted DLP and to be honest with you I am disappointed. When I think of where Dominica was 15 years ago, under workers and where we are today, I must admit I failed my country. But don’t be too hard on me. I was impressed by the vision of Rosie and I just wanted to give him a chance although, it was clear that workers were really working and DA was on the way up. Also, the corruption message was so well enveloped by DLP and some DFP that if you did not buy into it you were a fool. Later I found out that I was really fooled because I bought into some big lies! When Rosie died, I continued to vote DLP for two reasons: 1. I was ashamed to go back to my old vomit knowing how much I campaingned 2.I wanted to give the young man a reasonable chance. Oh how I regret the latter!
Today, can clearly see vision in what Mr. James had to say and come next election God’s willing, I will not allow my political pride and what people will say to keep me away from workers. I want to see a better future for my children and quite clearly this administration has no kind of vision or future painted. We are like clouds of doom and that’s frightening. So come next election, for the first time, you will hear me on the streets dressed in blue, shouting…”WORKERS”
Its rather sad that Dominicans no longer have a heart and love for country. The truth means nothing. Perception is reality and propaganda is now proper. I am frustrated how we have come. King spider said we going down slowly. I think we bettered that since we are going down a stiff-cocked valley of destruction and evil is taking precedence over good.
The government and the opposition are the same thing in this big money deceptive game of politricks. Corruption is part of the culture of our politics on both sides this is apparent. Where I stand on my humble throne in Ghana I see that our country has made some progress but more needs to be done. I hope to return to Dominica in quick time to my area in One Mile to return to a paradise I missed.
It appears that The government is still very popular and is even getting stronger by the day. I was out of state for 6 years but was shocked at the level of progress. I guess listening on the net is quite different from being at home.
Its sad how workers have come down so low. They need new blood and new dynamic leadership. This old uwp guard will not make it at all. All over Da seems to be labour labor and more labour.
Some people in UWP just have to resign.
look at how WORKERS come ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
workers turned into JOKERS
Quite frankly,I dont give a damn what you intend to do about,the corruption,the unemployment,the GON Emanuel case,the lying,stealing and cheating,the owners of the villas, the national debt,the calling of your supporters cockroaches,cacadors,terorrists, the violation of the Constitution,the legal or illegal President,the selling of Black Ants by the Chinese,the Geothemal disaster in the East, the packed Cabinet,the lady speaker, the lady that is being paid in the Virgin Islands, the selling of Dominica’s Passports, all I want you to do, as soon as you get in Government, is to GAIL all those responsible for the missing $138 million from the Layou River Hotel fiaco.
WORKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DIAMOND GIRL Workers Mort….
Ok Mr James? You need the Labour supporters to turn,But your ground troopers not helping by bashing Skerrit 24×7 x 365.Mr James don’t you know that labourites only voting for their Skerrit & not his Ministers.Stop your boys dem they not helping you.
Don’t let Lennox give you sleepless nights.Heis doing something good. I personally like very much what he is doing.Before long i was made to believe that i should not listen to him, but now i have embrased him one million fold. HE IS A GREAT GUY. ALREADY MY 2013 ‘Man of the Year’. GREAT PATRIOT AND GENTLEMAN!
You are a bloody idiot..stealing a bloggers name to post your crap.
You want to bug me again
so are u suggesting that he should stop bashing skeritt and bash the ministers who nobody care about?
Eddo you must talk to Lennox;That Skerrit do this,Skerrit do that thing,he have to stop.Tell him to highlights Uwp plans for us Dominicans.All he does is critisise with no solution.Remember to,you called election before time when you were in power.Hope you not going to make that an issue if Skerrit call election like you did.ok?!
Lennox is doing people like you a great and mighty service. Yes we need to talk to him and tell him ‘KEEP IT UP GOOD, UPRIGHT AND HONEST STATESMAN’.OH HOW WE NEED MORE MEN AND WOMEN LIKE YOU.
U all are the ones focussing on destroying one man , and don’t forget that while u built this and that u all could not pay salaries and plunged the country in so much debt
UWP done dead killed by Lenox will a 100 caliba pistol to the chest whatever that is
# My little country….. Leave Lennox out of your garbage.We know that he is like a huge THORN IN YOUR CORRUPT FLESH, like a thorn in your corrupt spine and in your corrupt mind;a huge thorn in the flesh of the evil and wicked style of management which you adore.
He has been doing a wonderfully remarkable job,keeping corrupt leaders thinking of if the next level of corruption won’t by intercepated by this brilliant mind.
Lennox is for sure one of Dominicas brilliant son of the soil, and i say thank you to his decesased father and his mother (whom i think is alive), his wife and other family members for letting Lennox do this Wonederful job for and on behalf of all Dominicans. GO GET A DOSE OF INTEGRITY. Learn to sleep well, because Lennox won’t stop,calling Evil “Evil”. LOVE YOU LENNOX.
T T B
means
test
tube
baby
leave LENOX PHD ALONE
all you jealous of the man’s qualification.
he has worked hard to keep our heritage alive
If Lennox see and know evil at every turn, particularly as it relates to one man, even when evil is not present what does that tell you about the man?
As it seems we should get rid off Skerrit the god and put Lennox the god since no one must criticise him.
hahahaha, u never wonder y Lennox Linton back in D/a? what that brilliant him??
I admire the efforts Lennox has put in to help Dominicans understand. He does not have enough support. Come on, young people. Think for yourselves. If Dominicans put Skerritt and his corrupt people back in office ,it will be terrible.
The will take whatever little is left,if any and that will be the end of Dominica. We will have to excavate to find it.
He’s been doing a wonderful job that’s why UWP lost twice!!
You must be dead mad to say UWP plunged the country into debt. Do you know the size of Dominica’s National Debt? Skerrit must be laughing at your level of stupidity. Fact is whether you like it or not, this government is the worst thing ever to have happened to Dominica , and it is one of the reasons why we are lagging as one of the poorest country in the region. They just dont care, and they need to be kicked out of office.
Are realy serious. Tel that to somebody who never experienced what a UWP government (1995-2000)did
they do deserve to be KICKED out.wicked set of people.
you stupid my little country your labour rights that kill the country no jobs uwp is alive and well you that dead with your labour right you have to big to eat with skerrit the country in debt 9million dollars as you labour right your children will pay for it it real.
I am not a supporter of any political party but to talk about the debt that UWP incurred is asinine when this current labor party maladministration has done worse. Not only that the UWP debt provided work for the people.
This debt talk was just an election campaign strategy in 2000 and 13 years after the idiots are still echoing this stale slogan.
my little country these ppl that comment bunch a diots they to dumb to get the idiots to me call dem diots. lennox been doing a good job u say? % u got to be a full he dont have nobody thinking he just have homself and alu workass thinking not skero. all he been trying never shook skero not one bit. workers almost put us on black list u wanna talk bout debts. alu must be crazy for real. skero got the country up. alu need to go brush u guys mouth and still drink the damn dirty water for theses garbage alu been talking. labor to the world yow
agriculture is a winner the U W P is passtionately belive in the land so ill be voting for them, i remember the banks welcome you when the U W P was in the Driving seat workers we want you back
yes you right BANANA PARTY my foot
allu forget the big DOLLAR A POUND LOL
What about clearing the best agricultural land in Dominica to build a faked international AIRPORT ?
DATS LOVE FOR FARMERS WE AND THE CRUSHER TO MAKE MILLIONS?
I sure I not stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu pidddddddd!
EARL W will be good for allu in BAWI and Roso gone already so whattime is it ? 20 to 1 I think it will be in d PM.
Agriculture a winner? Why then is Geest contemplating not loading bananas in Dominica anymore because can’t even produce our allottted quota? And talking about bananas. Have you seen the well orgainised acres of plantations in Guadeloupe and Martinique, who have free access to the European market and flourish, despite higher labour costs? Have you seen any shortage of produce in the neighbouring islands that they can import from the U.S.A. at more consistent quality standards and lower prices than what we can supply? Today I was looking at miserly tomatoes in one of our supermarkets, coming from the U.S.A., because we can not produce enough ourselves plus the prices are crazy! We can’t even produce enough coffee to keep Bello’s small operation going, not to mention hot peppers. And all this despite the fact that our farmers are tax excempt. Let’s be realistic. I wish it were different but it isn’t.
As much as i despise and abhor the current DLP infiltrate isotope DLP with DFP fragments stemming from the late 70’s to the 2000 period, am bewildered why characters like Eddison don’t call it a day his time on stage was accidental.It’s time to go back to marigot and toss stones in the sea at Krane. your reign was an ej of backwardness in gov’t like Eugenia before you. Now it was guys like you Timothy and a few others who set the pace for these lumpen Gov’t of modern day pirates on land rather than the seas.These are brazen alcapones of moderntimes faceless//heartless by products of extreme poverty.They know themselves led by a rich business class by product.
My wish for 2013-2014 is a new revolutionary gov’t to round up all these evil guys DFP transplants silly DLP-ites opportunists who left the UWP and those extreme spongers to be rounded up and jail together for bring our country to it’s knees in the 21st century. It’s a far cry from the DA I grew up in as a teen before leaving home 30 yrs ago.I have come to the realization that there are 90% eunuchs in the country.
My final analysis is i will(with my friends) do it if Iwant to see it happen. I abhor alls these AHs as much and even more than nature abhorsa vacum.It’s time for drastic action as this Crap will not fix itself.The economyit is said should beleft to the invisible had-it works best but the society and the politics has to be regulated.
The time is now or never.
Eddison to you: Your history said an unknow farmer won the elections in 1995 your chances with your now gaseous team’s chances is slim to none.Just get out of the way man your time is done on the /ur imagined stage your new time is by the bay in Krane or jail for your regin of 1995 to 2000. Mis-management and ur own corruption.
Tony Rosie Oierro forgotabout it i won’t monopoly with your freedom.As for ur nemesis no trial just in definite jail those money laundering lawyers god help you guys.
The new order is coming just like the UWP in 1988-2000 UWP is coming remmeber your slogan? You guys came an what it was a political orgasm and with premature ejac.@ that.What a waste.You guy left DA hanging high and dry not even political viagra helped between 2000-present.
Bunch of jokers.
@ Slim to none Your piece of utter garbage will even pollute our landfill. Please do not dump it there.This level of imbecility can only come from a semi illiterate, a grovellor a sycophant and a Red Clinic lazy man/woman. In five short years Eddo and his highly competent team did more than this incompetent crew had done in 13 years. Can you believe it?
He had respect for the people.He never tole his people ‘Go to Hell! Go to Hell Go to hell,never wanted to send DRONES at the opposition or The New Chronicle or Q95. Never told the people its not your Dam business where my party get money, No Law no constitution can stop me , Man to Man we Will Marsh them Up,etc. So its really pathetic to see accessories of corrupt leadership like you spewing such vomit. SHAME ON YOU !
You full of BS..What did Edison do?Think if he had done any good for us he would be struggling to get 3 seats in an election where the people voted democratically.All of them man are power hungry and crooking each other.UWP CAN NEVER EVER get back in power under EDISON.
@ BOIS BALENE… With people like you he will struggle to get even one seat, because you are sitting on your head. But trust me, in five years his achievements and that of his government is beyond compare. Most of all he never insulted his peoole. GOOD LEADERSHIP!
Jim must be from MONKEY HILL can’t you read from my piece am anti DLP UWP DFP and other opportunists.You have to be a sort or from Krane bayside to read something and don’t get the essence. Man I feel sorry for you.You are one of these marigot fools who still fel in 2013 marigot people smart.It was a man from the east who just fooled ur citizens marigotians.You cannot even comprehed a simple piece in which I was expressing anti-DLP bullcrap. you have to be donce.Did mishark teach you belgrave stevens etc? certainly not I will excuse you Jim you were carrying fig on ur head when U should have been in class.I heard you use to pass and stick ur head in the class window at Point but the banana pressure on ur skull made u donce.
i wonder if you know what you saying there
You sound too much like a U.W.P-ite.You cram dat one dere.
I would give UWP a chance but not with Edison James at its head. The shadows of Earl and Julius are still hovering over him. He lead his party to three defeats and, lets be honest he is not getting any younger. For the sake of your party Sir, and that of the future of ordinary Dominicans, give up this egotistical stance and pass the reins to some younger, more palatable individual. Time to retire and advise from the wings as an elderly, benevolent statesman.
It’s so hard for folks like you to understand the english language is so hard for you to understand I guess the next time the leader speaks try to listen then you will hear what he said about turning the leadership to another when they win and by the way Edison James is not the UWP so find another reason why you wouldnt vote for that party I’m not a support of the party and I could see thru you nonsense
River, in response to you:” A leopard does not change its spots”. Is that English enough for you?
@river you really believe if UWP win an election Edo will turn over the leadership? How much power has he given Hector even if Hector is now party leader? You are more comprehensionally challenged than the person you are snapping at if you believe what you just said.
elderly not statesman nor beno who beno what?give me a break!
Mr James don’t give up the faithful uwp supporters got your back we holding on come what may we still love u mr James we need honesty in dominica
This is not about individuals and their pride. This is about the future of our country, for ALL Dominicans. Seriously Mr. James, who can forget that larger-than-life brooding hoarding of you at the entrance to Marigot, long after you lost the 2000 election. You should have asked for it to be taken down but pride would not allow it. The humility would have served you well, then and now.
As much as I can’t stomach the present regime I would be reluctant to vote UWP with Mr. James in charge.
@ Malgraysa You sound very much like someone who will spoil an election ballot. You sound like a vacuum. Empty.
I was once fooled by this Labour party, but i am waiting for them in my yard.
Ronald Isidore should be leader of UWP. He will certainly beat Rayburne in Mahaut and Skerrit in the general elections. He is a great guy and we workers want someone new.
SO what happen last election with Ronald?
yes what really happen there?
why dno doesnt put up my post them ner? stupes!
They need to stop the radio talk get on the ground BE MORE VISIBLE AROUND THE ISLAND UNANNOUNCED.
Constituencies is what wins a election in these Parts the Focus has to be much more rigged around Those lines…TOO MUCH RADIO CHATTER!
WHY WONT THEY LEARN..meet the average Citizens one on one face to face let them feel you more..
Stop using the airwaves to bring home your point.
This is not USA,UK or Barbados folks need to Get that feel first hand!
true these guys feel because they keep hearing themselves they think everybody is listening to them.they need to have real boots on the ground(grass roots)work,not boots on the ground in their minds.Dominica is for Dominicans and not for a band of selfish politicians.chu.
is this guy (edison) serious?
Uwp is a government in waiting___waiting to lose___again
I I dat lol well said
u w p a government awaiting to lose again
let me go 4 my red shirt
I hear dec 18 2k13 another election I want all my ham pm doh forget us on the monkeyhill/sams gutter and ghost town harlem.
We registering the young pupa left right and center and our people coming in by plane loads in d night so we reddddy for our labour PM……development we want.
@ happ Yes he is. One of Dominican’s very bright brains, brilliant and honest man, who can give good leadership, without insulting people, not even IDIOTS like you. I LOVE HIM!
where did lenox get his official training from ?
Did he tell the court that he doesn’t have a drgree in journalism/investigations ? So after DGS where did he go? Did he go Sixth Form College where all those bright /smart boys went to ?
As for me I doh go big school.
Is Birth certificate , christening certificate and confirmation certificate I have and death certificate I have ( well dat one I will never see it )…to dat list some people can only ADD GCE and nothing else yet the running their big mouth playing brain…with no more papers!!!shame>>>>so many people are DNO trying their best at improving themselves even after DSC or High school and some went University and others still going extra classes after work or while working….I love dat dats ambition we. UWP might even build a new university of Dominica you never know !
What u mean if is sort u sort go back to pre school
Happ whatever u call your self mr James is a Dominican so what foolishness is that according to mr pappy it seem they buy u for 50cents
Happ, If you consider Roosevely skerrit and Labor party to be serious why not Eddison James and the UWP who does have a Track record of performance also an economic plan for development and job creation
HE IS A GENTLEMAN. One who served with distinction.
no he isn’t only his NOSE dats serious
Macaque why don’t you express your opinion. But then again you Laborats are ignorant and arrogant. Can you despute the things that Edison said that the UWP did in 4 1/2 years. The things that Edison is promising – do you think that the items are worth our attention.?
Start using your brain not your emotions.
Dude give it up. We looking for younger folks in government right now. It looking like u and John McCain was in Vietnam together. Steups tan.
stupes
No more uwp
no more labour right amen
I think you have a chance to rebuild if you give positive messages, have a new generation of quality candidates, start with a clear honest and practical set of ideas for Dominica and start getting your plan together now. A man strength is sometimes his weakness
In that address alone Eddie has signalled to soem of the advisors to the opposition coalition that they can go “to go to hell. He wants an international airport by any means necessary. The premier advisor to his mentor and protege/advisor, Athie is dead agaisnt an international airport. Eddie is Gong Ho for an international airport. Confusion already? Or has Eddie told Athie and co. that they are not wanted in the UWP even if they speak volumes 24-7 agaisnt Skerro on Q? Eddie does not forget.
I’m shaking my head at this post. Did you not hear skerritt say that he is comited to building an in’l airport? Is the issue of IA the only thing of importance in the statement? I guess jobs, the youth and other issues are not important.
Not sure why Mr.James is wasting his time with Dominicans, has he not learnt what type of People Dominicans are…jeez come on…
Take a look around, they don’t want a International Airport, They not interested with Integrity in Office,They love being unemployed and Poor,They Could care less if the Fumes or Gases affect their Health,They adore the “Red Clinic” as the Best Weapon of growth in Dominica, They Dont Care if “Black Ants” get’s rid of them.
So how you expect to change that type of Culture Tell me..Dominicans are not winners as a Nation They Loved being Hammered with that hardship Aspect….-Ignorance-points to Caribbean Island Of Dominica..
Mr.James please retired in Barbados you will Get And Gain Respect their,surely not in your Homeland.
And your point is UWP with Eddie going to change/fix all that, or are you writing in your dreams?
That’s it Mr James….thats what we the youth of this country want to hear. We want to plans and programs not about SKERRIT!! Stop concentrating on Skerrit and lets get the ball rolling and sensitize the people on what your plans are for the future of Dominica. Come with a way forward to get Dominica moving. Don’t sleep on yourselves, start talking now. Start having discussions in different villages/communities and tell us what you plan for our country. That’s the only way you can get Skerrit out because that’s what the masses want to hear. We are tired of the skerrit talk that Linton doing, let’s get some action now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The coalitiion agaisnt PM Skerrit is very shaky, leaking, tossed on the high seas and perhaps has ran aground. Yesterday, Jno. Finn, one of the patriots, writing from Washington DC enjoined on the present UWP leadership (Eddie and Ron) to step aside and give Thompson Fontaine, another Washington based patriot, a chance to lead an assembled opposition agaisnt Skerrit. Note too that some time ago Mr. Michael Astaphans, the interim political leader made a public statement suggesting that what he calls the DFP (Freedom Party) will not go in a coalition ever again – not after the DFP’s experience with Labour in the 2000 elections. Today Eddie is tying his waist to run once again for election as political leader and PM of this country. He is hell bent on pursuing a development program (international airport) that some of his more recognized advisors (Athie) have said is not necessary. Whither goest the alternative to Skerrit. You know Skerrit has always said that the best strategy the UWP can employ to keep his DLP in power is to continue with Eddison James as leade of UWP with Lennox Linton his shadow as the premier PR person for the party – UWP. He is saying the rightthings you know. Just consider what Eddie brings to the table against a maruading, all conquering Skerro
Lennox is to stay where he is to bring all those who are not pulling his/her weight while in Govt or private sector I cant see any other person walking in his shose their are others in the WUP who can do the PR job.
Between you and me is the type of program that is hear to stay with Linton as the captain
I agree with “river”, Lennox is here to stay doing what he does best – talk, talk and more talk on a Sunday afternoon. But the truth is the only real encouragement he has is the hope (espwa mal papaye)that one day ‘canka day” the UWP will win the government and he wil be given a ministerial portfolio by way of the Senate and he will ocntinue to go after Skerro without let. That is just his HOPE
The Present mindset of Dominica now,they are not Citizens who vote and reflect on issues and Policies, so it’s gonna be extremely hard to pull Eight seats To gain eleven to win the elections..
If Dominicans were thinkers and wanted a change They Would do less talking on the radio.
They refuse to make their presence felt claiming Being victimised etc…once they speak that Language means they still will vote Labour..
The Opposition along can’t do it..NGO’s Unions And Other Policy and Profile groups have to come On Board to effect a change in Regime..
Labour will be very hard to defeat via the Polls
As they have the Armed forces and other personal To ensure the get the win..
So honestly the election outcome 16-5 in Favour Of Labour
It is always suggested that Dominicans are stupid because they don’t vote on issues. If so, then the opposition leaders must be stupid as well that they can’t convince stupid Dominicans to vote them while another/labour party can. All party have or should have their strategy to win.That does not necessarily mean everything they say is the truth or that they can implement,rather the one with the best stratergy to catch the people. Don’t come call the people foolish after, when they could be fooled either way.
so true great words spoken fr a great man who serves and will continue to serve our country with pride. i believe that with a solid team behind you with our vote to put this labour party administration out of office. we can move Dominica forward and pave a solid foundation wherer we see its lacking, like creating employment by enabling young persons to restore their independence, self worth and self pride. my people wake up those who crying in secret those who crying out loud those who calling the various talk shows to show their level of frustration. it is time you all open you alls eyes and vote so that we see change and prosperity for us and our children. where all shall eat and not some shall eat.
Mr. James if you seriously want the UWP to win the next elections you should pass on the leadership to someone new. What about Dr. Thompson Fontaine? a sure winner in Grand Fond and someone who will for sure canvass DLP supporters who are disenchanted with their party. Be honest to yourself Mr James you had your time you wasted it by calling early elections. We the UWP supporters are tired of talk cheap talk (pawol enitil), we want to win elections to bring Dominica back and track.
think you wide in the atlantic Ocean boss..
Fontaine is not all that..
Sure they have to get new blood but i don’t see Him Being a Frontman no way…
Look at the info he brought up re the passport issues, if he was a clever bloke he would get all the info names etc pill it well then drop the cluster bomb in, but he as usual gets way to excited without having all the facts….
He does not sound like a man who understand how the US works..he should gain more info before coming to the public..
what is your problem ?
We don’t want Thompson Fontaine.
If there is someone to replace our daddy eddo it has to be Lennox Linton and no one else.
lennox has dome more than any other to expose this corrupted government.
Fontaine who ??? Chupes !!!!
come better than dat
M’got people are not fools but you must think of what you a saying before speaking Mr.Linton need to be in the position ” between you and me” to be able to bring out the coruption in Govt ect he cannot afford to tie his hand Thompson Fontaine will be down soon and never say he is not doing anything that’s where I will disagree with you The party needs all the help they can get to be able to change direction in D’ica.
It Sickens me to Here Edison James also Say UWP is is a government in “WAITING” Waiting since when 12 years ago?? like someone said here in this forum stated; The progress of Dominica’s Development has to be constructed like “Building Block” and “on-going” Not waiting every two years before an election to give some sort of abstract Explanation like some kind of magician to the people you want to support you.
Thomson who is the Right Question!!!!
Thompson Needed to start Speaking up “years ago” If he wants to be Dominica PM. For that matter anyone who needs to be PM of Dominica Needs to be in Dominica working with Dominicans as a PAL REP, a community leader a citizen working in Dominica private or in Public office on the ground with the People Before he should be even allowed to smell that Path. So lets just say Thompson is out. Don’t even waste your breadth to mention him again. Dominicans Need to start to Make those demands on People wanting to run for office. This is serious Business; not a joke!Our children and Grand children Future!!!
I have to make sure I State this right I guess i was too focused on Thomson “”For that matter anyone who needs to be PM of Dominica Needs to be in Dominica working with Dominicans as a PAL REP, a community leader a citizen working in Dominica private or in Public office on the ground with the People Before HE OR SHE should be even allowed to smell that Path of becoming PM”
i support u a 200 % we need better leadership need to get hector out from the front put someone with leadership qualities and managerial skills to lead the party we also need some new blood in the party
What are preparing with a next court case?
Is that English or German/Italian/Greek/. You need to tell the people.
YOu are poised to return to government for what? To sit in the State Palace that Skerritt built? Dream on………
@ Anonymous What Skerrit does is done with Dominica’s money (loan or otherwise), is done for, and on behalf of the country.You are included so are all Doiminicans.Your question speaks volume about your level of ignorance.Skerrit is paid to do a job. He is doing it extremely bad,plunging the country into poverty at the same time.The State Malace was ill conceived at a time when the country is so dam poor.You can make a bid to sit in it, i can, Eddison can and every other Dominican. WE DO NOT HAVE FRENCH PASSPORT. LEARN THAT,and when Skerrit is making as though he is granting you a favour, tell him, No OR if you are calling him God,go down to your knees and tell hin NO, that’s not the case.
“We are poised to return to government,” he told participants of the retreat. “
hahaha….. Now that’s what you call “Espoir Malpapay”
For the UWP to ADVANCE it having a RETREAT. wWhat are we coming to nuh ? Da really upside down, even UWP have the SkerroDisease we!!!!
I suspect UWP planning for ( the government of the opposition ) .
DFP doh have any serious support yet they playing hard ball. Athie refuses to run in Newtown and Bernard give up. Look Blessings resign from Colin.
And Spraggs does not have what he says..the man was so nervy on Tv ( ah magway sar ).
I even hear that there is a new parroted crook inside UWP. Well well well !!!!!
Mr. James can you please spell out your foreign policy plans. If you were to be elected would you sever ties with china, Venezuela, morocco etc.
I would advice him not too. In any case he is wise enough and he won’t. VERY EASY QUESTION.What he has to do is to better manage the relationships that we have with these countries.
Presently Skerrit and his 17 clownsposing as ministers, are lost with respect to the relationship we have with all countries. LAZY AND INCOMPETENT, CLUELESS AND WORTHLESS GOVERNMENT INDEED!
Press on my brother. You also need to highlight that the standard of living of Dominicans has not gone up in 20 years. Dominicans are still living in poverty, substandard living condition, hunger. Dominicans, you need change. Put the UWP in Power, if they don’t perform vote them out. here is no reason that one Dominican should rule the country for more than ten years. There are more talented Dominicans out there give them a chance.
TOO LATE
look kix…
Bring your A game gentlemen… If you desire leadership, prove to the people why you deserve it, not just why the other guy doesn’t.
Best comment on DNO so far!
LOL!!
Laugh..allu will find out….that not 2009 nuh….it’s onnnnnnn
That’s the joke of the century, isn’t it? I wonder whether you have understood anything Mr. James said. Stay dere waiting on hand outs and you’ll see how far it will take you.
@PapaDom The joke of the century is your ignorance. Wonder if you understood what you read!
edo what is your problem? Sir we are not in the dark ages you know. Not because am from monkey hill that I will be afraid of all you RosoDonkeys.
We don’t want Dlp anymore and I think lennox must take over the party >
We are weak in the house, remove senator Isidore and replace him by lenox so that lenox will be able to handle that speaker for us.
I just about to give up. People don’t come to our meeting. The St Jo meeting had 12 persons and I was so shame I went back into my car.
I doh even trust those few new people who playing as if they no longer with labour. every year Skerro sends his group of spies to infiltrate into our party. They come in all forms.
BRING BACK UWP
LOL???? He who laughs last will definitely last the best so keep on laughing because you are early.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
Is that a threat? People cya even laugh now?
