Leader of the United Workers Party, Lennox Linton, is expressing satisfaction with an ongoing campaign which is taking place across Dominica, noting that it is going “extremely well.”
“We are getting the opportunity to see what is happening in Dominica, see for ourselves the neglected farms, the neglected holdings, the infrastructure that is in disrepair ,” he told Q95 on Tuesday morning. “Which gives us a sense of what priorities will emerge as we take on the task of better managing the economy of Dominica and put it in shape to grow by six to seven percent per year and deliver 5,000 jobs in the first three years of our administration.”
The campaign, dubbed Coast to Coast in 25, was launched last week and Linton vowed it will “touch every nook and cranny, every heart, every mind across the Commonwealth of Dominica.”
Although elections are not constitutionally due until 2015, the UWP leader noted the campaign is not too early and is part of the party ‘getting in shape.’
“We have to get in shape for the governance responsibilities that we are taking on to ourselves,” he stated. “We are saying to the people of Dominica this is serious business, the country is in crisis, the country needs to be rescued. We are stepping up to the plate to pick up the mantle of rescue, of renewal of rebuilding Dominica.”
He stated that it is also part of connecting to Dominica. “We are going about our business of connecting with the people of Dominica,” Linton said. “I don’t know that it can be too early to do that …so if we sit back with our hands folded and wait for somebody to tell us when we can connect with the people of Dominica, I think that would be not wise.”
He remarked that the party is moving forward because it has plans for Dominica. “We have a vision for making Dominica the best place to live, the best place to work, the best place to enjoy life in the global community,” Linton stated, “So we have to go around Dominica and in a positive way, in a real way, meeting people, looking them in the eyeball and connecting to them face to face, say to them this is what we intend to do for you, this is how we intend to rethink, to renew and to rebuild Dominica.”
He noted that the party will also be in constituencies that are considered ‘die hard Labor Party strongholds’ and “respectfully and in a very humane way engage with the people on our agenda of advocacy for the change of Dominica.”
Some of the constituencies visited so far include Grand Fond, Castle Bruce, St. Joseph, Colihaut, among others.

Just saying, for what it’s worth, this is the state of affairs in NY these days. We can pretend we blind if we want but this does not change reality.
If someone, anyone can show me any evidence of a fully black controlled country doing well/rich with cooperation and unity and all benifits to it’s people, then and only then, I will believe that Dominica as a black majority and controlled country will ever do well. Dream on people!!!!!!!
Are you saying that this is the best we will ever have? Then heaven help us all!
I HAVE BEEN RADING SOME OF THE COMMENTS POSTED AND I REALIZE THAT MANY CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY DO NOT ANALYSE ANYTHING BEFORE THEY POST COMMENTS. Some people reason that we are the government because we the people we pay taxes I for one am in full agreement with that reasoning that We the people are the government. But I want to go farther to say that We the people we are the opposition too. You see my fellow Dominicans WE the people enjoy a special and very important position of Government and Opposition at the same time. What we should be in essence doing is use the opposition to supervise the activities of government instead we ostracize the opposition when the opposition is actually us.
Allu Dominicans funny you know…allu critising the Opposition for not working, now they trying their thing allu vex…papamet man!!!!!
Management of UWP, dont you think it would be wise to let the country know the itninery of the road campaign?
I was in service in NJ and I heard the UN Ambassador said that election will be in months – I don’t know if it was a slip of the tongue, or he just let the cat out the bag by mistake.
I think Lennox is doing a good job of following the leader he loves to hate. After all, he wants to be him.
But why allu like to include senjo in allu sure seats , every election is the same song uwp singing senjo in the bag senjo in the bag, eh labour won by 350 votes last time, so put a question mark by st.joe not a tick .
Change is a must…
If it aint broke, don’t fix it. Change is not always good.
How much more broken can it get? Do u want to see people eating mud cakes or children suffering the severe malnutrition before you will accept that it is indeed broken. All the sign are there but I guess you’ll not see since you’re only concerned with self. It doesn’t matter what the decision is, how simple it is, this government has to find a way to do something illegal. If that is not a sign of a broken country then I don’t know what is.
I keep hearing that elections are not constitutionally due until 2015 … wasn’t the last election December 18, 2009? Then, if its every five years, should be have elections by December 18, 2014? Just asking
elections must be called 5 years after the first sitting of parliament not the the last election date. The sitting prime minister can call it anytime before said date.
You still got it wrong. Elections are constitutionally due NO LATER THAN 90 DAYS AFTER the first sitting of Parliament after elections. The first sitting was in mid February 2010 so Elections must be held no later than mid May 2015.

There are no job in the big world let alone little DA.
“There are no job in the big world let alone little DA”(Another Anonymous).
How stupid are you; how much dumber can a person get, are you drunken or mad, perhaps your badge honor on your forehead is too heavy for you; you know that badge of stupidity which the late prime minister Pierre Charles spoke abut.
If there are no jobs in the big world, why are Dominicans leaving Dominica every day of the week venturing out into every corner of the big world crawling on their belly looking for work!
How many of them who leave returns to Dominica in a hurry? Do you know why they do not return; if you cant figure it out let me tell you it is because they are finding world, jobs in the big world out there.
How much have they aid you to write such garbage, are you so politically brainwasher that you have began to walk upside down on your commonsense which you appear not to have!
I hate to insult myself by responding to such garbage, but I do it simply to expose you personal stupidity to you.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
They do not return because of shame , some of them shame. You know that.
What kind of jobs does the average find? Is it the same kind that the haitians come to Dominica and do? Get real! Somany ppl are being laid off or made redundant in the so called “big world”. A lot of Dominicans holding high position jobs too are being affected and as a result can no longer employ the Dominican baby sitters.
I tried staying out of this one cause I have no problem with what linton doing he has no job and he want to be PM so he have to bring his views to the people,now the problem I have is some people putting linton next to Bill Gates,Bill left College to focus more on the idea he had now tell me what did linton drop out of College to do?
You all just watching people and saying they not working….these days you can work and study in any part of the world from Dominica…..all you need is a computer and internet….so check yourself and don’t mind others business
@ nosey u all think this man gona come in and have a free ride once he put his self up to be the next PM of DA his business is our own.
He wanting to be the PM of Dominica is our damn business , because we need someone who is educated enough to represent DOMINICA. This is not the ice age.
what utter rubbish
I know Possie people stupid but alas, you did not have to rub it in that much by stamping Possie name on your forehead to let know that this is where you from.
Now your turn,it’s the same stupid possie people u all want to vote for u all party u all like to disrespect people then turn around and want their support.
Yes he would. He is just a natural people’s person.
For years we have an arrogant prime minister cursing people. “Go to hell, Go to hell”and while cursing the people of Dominica they were only concerned with building their own houses and businesses.
Now that you have an honorable team of men presenting themselves to change the politics of red clinic, gas cylinders, toilets, and handouts,government ministers all over the place making empty promises.
Continue waggonists display in real form what you have learnt from the Westminster style of politicking, vote party,die for party to hell with Dominica and real issues.
Prime Minister Skerrit or Mr Lennox Linton didn’t do it,we the electorate are the ones speaking on both sides of our “gel”.God help and bless Dominica,there are still some sensible ones.
@ fast and furious. you complaining that lennox begging for vote. you need to complain about the begging at the red clinic the begging for toilets and plywood, gas cylinders and so on….
Lennox it is impossible for u to be prime minster of dominica. Impossible
Why is it impossible?
Tell the folks in Grand Bay how Labour party Government under Skerritt prevented the community from economic development.
Asked Mrs. Charles why did the administration kill the Plan for All Saints University to move to Grand Bay.
The night after election all uwp supporters will get kaka malvant.
I am a concern Dominican looking to be back home some day. My interest lies in the welfare and well being on our beloved country. Am coming home to vote this government out of office and so too a lot of diaspora people from DA. Really can’t stand the mess this government has put us in. Dominicans we need change in this country. Please helps us make that change!!
Do you actually know anything about Dominica? If you do then you will know about the mess this party that is trying to get into power left Dominica in. All you have to do is compare statistics and you will realize how far this government have brought Dominica. I hate to have to say it but these people are trying to pull a con job on unsuspecting Dominicans.
No, you provide the statistics let’s see what it is you lord & master has done.
Please plan to spend some time here before the election so you can learn the truth about this country.
See the Novice and the puppets passing through,passing through,passing through,from Coast to Coast!All they do is lie and beg,lie and beg,lie and beg,poor UWPWEE..5000 jobs in 3 years thinking they fooling people.
And how many jobs did the Labour Party produce in 14 years, might I ask?
We have over 23 percent unemployment rate on the island. I guess we should be proud of that?
well it was 40% when labour took office. Dothe maths.
You mean over 70 % unemployment in youth under 30 and more like over 45% in the general population?
I thought unemployment was over 50%, according to the UWPwee’s PRO?
I would answer but dno are not posting a lot of anti- uwp comment-only the ones they want. God is not sleeping.
Your comment does not have any basis.
That’s not unusual that you would take this stand. Jesus was rejected when he came to save mankind.
You comparing Lenox to Jesus Christ? And you all say Labour Party supporters are brainwashed!!
All of a sudden Lennox know how to smile???
@SMFH For 14 years, Skerrit smiled to Dominicans and delivered poverty UPON THEM. For 14 years Skerrit smiled to fools like you and cultivated a begging syndrome on the population.
Please check the stats before you speak or are you just content to tell blatant lies?
Mr. not smiling;Mr. grinnig.Mammy herself just letting what Mr.saying pass in the right ear and come out in the left.The lady not even checking Mr. Is so people enjoying jokes neh?
So Lennox should not smile? Lennox has the same facial muscles as we all. Even Lennox’s smile IS a problem for Labourites? OMG, this attitude is really silly. You mean to tell me that Labourites don’t have a sound argument to counteract the growing strength of Lennox Linton and his team.
What is the issue before us? Whether Lennox smiles or not? Is that what appeals to you, “Fast N Furious?” If Lennox walked the streets with a BIG grin or smile on his face, would this appeal to you? Honestly, what is it you want Lennox to do to get your vote?
hahhah lol#
you giving somebody a joke and you giving them your back.shame but is by back allyou going
boy look a set of mootor we. clearly, the man is speaking to and facing another person who is not shown in the pic. the lady in the pic is walking towards the direction of the person lennox actually laughing with. zor pah las palay sot? LOL
Boy go complete the Grand Fond, Rosalie Road and the playing Field which was started but the funds were allocated “according to them; to other more important projects. I hear my people saying No Roads No votes. No playing field No votes. Enough is enough A promise is a comfort to A fool! Fix it or else the people will vote you all out of office. Now lets get the job done.
Right fix the playing field for the guys to play. This is the only means of recreation.
Please don’t count your chickens before they are hatched
Quote”If I don’t know you I go along my business”these are Lennox words;Today Lennox going Coast to Coast pretending.Lennox these are the very same people you don’t know and you are passing and go on your business,why now you pretend you are so interested in their well being,even going to their door step begging them for their vote?Have you forgotten?Didn’t you know that the stone that the builder refused shall be the head corner stone?Dominicans are smarter than you think and you shall pay for that at the POLLS.
So people cannot change.
No, in Lennox case only money can change.
Fast n furious you are furious at yourself or the world. That’s what politics is all about. If you can’t campaign to the public then you have no business being there
Your comments are really dumb.
Because it is necessary to know them now in his new position. Did scarit wave every body before he went into polick.tics..Do u say hello to evertbod. ?
I, myself, and thousands of other dominicans are just the same. Yes, people tend to go along their way when they don’t know others. It’s a normal human behaviour, even a safe one too. So get real. The man is just a man like you and me. Now he’s a politician, and politicians need to act like politicians, a friend of the people. Thus, your point is invalid.
His business is now to represent all the people of Dominica including laborites, and as he meets laborites around Dominica many are getting to know the real Lennox, not the fictitious monster the DLP has tried to create. Just remember the words of DLP pro Aaron, ” UWP believes in the politics of truth”. I concur with Dr. Philsbert Aaron. Lennox is a man of truth.

Keeping the Good Work up UWP ….We need a change in this country for sure after I saw McIntyre employment strategy for the nations.
Incapable Men at the GOVT Throne!!!
Yes we do. We need people to stop bringing down the country for their own selfish gains.
even if we need a change’hell no not uwp saw finy!
Agree. Hell no. Not UWP. Not this time around, maybe the next 20years.
UWP lucky with number “fifteen”. We won fifteen years after “Lazy Freedom” and w`ll win again after fifteen years of “Dabour” Workersssssss!!!!!! “tout pas tout”
You must be living in an air bubble!
Yes you won from Freedom all those years ago, but what did you do for the country? I’ll tell you….
You dug up Windsor Park and left it, bled the treasury dry and could not pay civil servants,sold
Domlec to the Yanks. Where did the money go? You were kicked out of office before you could even complete your term.What a short memory you have. LOL.
You are completely ignorant about the economic performance of Dominica over the years, and that is a fact. It was under the UWP Dominica saw records in exports in the years 98 and 99. It was the UWP which created the offshore financial sector bringing in over 25 million per year in new taxes. The world creole music festival, increase revenue in non banana crops from 14 million to over 29 million per year. Free text books, duty free concessions on building material for all Dominicans. When the DLP saw that they could not challenge the performance of the UWP. You were fooled when they told you that performance does not matter it is corruption. Up till now DLP cannot show Dominicans one piece of evidence of UWP corruption. They have even made Julius Timothy a minister, a man they accused of being corrupt. It is the DLP which paid their friends over one million dollars to dig up the 12 million dollars work that was done by the UWP at Windsor park. DLP dug up the foundation and threw it into the sea. The steel UWP ordered to build the Windsor park stadium is still on the port behind the office of Element Agencies. Dr. Aaron says that UWP believes in truth and DLP practices lies. Your statement is baseless.
Just take it like men when you all lose.

“Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC), followed by the announcement from Mr. Bernanke (Chairman of the Federal Reserve)”
Anonymous, what does Dominica’s bad economic status have to do with Bernanke; Federal open market, and Federal Reserve? It is a good thing you are an anonymous; you are fictitious; using your name would simply make you a joke, and a laughing stock!
When we are talking about Bernanke, we are talking about the chairman of some Federal Reserve Bank within the United States, one of twelve reserve banks set up under the Federal Reserve Act to hold reserves, and discount commercial paper for affiliated banks in their respective districts.
I cannot even begin to imagine the reason for your comments, people should not write crap simply because they deduced the crap, it must make sense to others, life is a learning process, and we should all make contributions to the learning process, the crap you wrote here was pulled from thin air, with no actual basis.
What sort of impression are you trying to create? Here is a brief : another important fiscal agency; although for technical reasons it is called an agency of monetary policy, it is the Federal Reserve System, headed by the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve System “the fed” has authority over the credit rates and lending activities of the nation’s most important banks. (In America that is)!
Established by the United States Congress in 1913, the FED is responsible for adjusting the supply of money to the needs of banks in the different regions, and of the commerce, and industry in each. The fed helps shift money from where there is too much to where it is needed.
Unfortunately, Dominica is not a territory of the United States, thus money is not shift by the FED to Dominica, never have and never will! The Fed also ensures that the banks do not overextend themselves by too liberal a lending policy, out of fear hat if there is a sudden economic scare, a run on a few banks might be contagious and cause another terrible crash like the one in 1929.
Many of us residing in America remember 2008, 2009, it was similar to what occurred in 1929; of course I was not born yet, nonetheless, the major part of my education was not obtained in Dominica, but the United States, and one of my prerequisites for my major had to be American Government, from which I derived the information in this submission.
Do not try to impress people with nonsense, as I said before DNO is read internationally, and some people reading such nonsense as what you wrote may come to the conclusion that all of us Dominicans are idiots.
Don’t talk about something unless you have something to substantiate your comments, your comments has no connection between Dominica, America, and the Federal Reserve.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
First of all here is some homework. Research the relationship between the composition of FED and the twelve reserve banks that you refereed to.
Next you seem to be one of those who think that because Dominica is an Island we are not affected by what happens in other territories. My contribution was drawing attention to the relationship of the Dominica economy to that of the US. You missed that because you were too quick to show off your “knowledge”.
It might interest you to not that the thrust of the UWP campaign has been to describe the performance of the Dominican economy as if there was no influence from our trading partners.
Only this morning (October 13)Dr. Thompson Fontaine was on Q95 quoting on the position of D/ca’s GDP without indicating that it was a ranking by size and without further showing the relationship to the size of the population that generated that GDP. That was classic dishonesty.
I encourage you think before you write.
Anonymous tell us your name!
Lennox you the lady laughing. Joke is on you boy
good work linton
all the way UWP, we voting for you guys, goodbye Labour and all your lies and empty promises, we wont be fooled anymore, Dominica needs a change
Alas… baby Linto
singing for your supper?
Poor baby boo. All those lawsuits have you broke. Don’t lie and use Skerro name when u going n beg for your provision. Coast to coast my foot! Leave those people alone. Noticing u like. U green with envy. Post you want. Go n get a regular 9- 5 job. Give ur mouth a rest! look now they paying u to go n beg. weh weh weh.
He will employ you, and stop covering your lazy face at the Red Clinic. LINTON FOR PM. TAKE THAT!
i have a career not a job.i don’t need lennox or the red clinic for that matter,you can go knocking on their door maybe they’ll help you.
Jealousy is a hell of a thing
I like that plan Lennox.Along the way he is softening his image as a high society guy and setting the agenda. Change is inevitable. Good luck Lennox,Good luck Dominica-
Coast to Coast … not a bad idea at all. However, the PM has been criticized for his so-called celebrity status, and Dominicans have been criticized for thinking of Skerro as ‘a god’. Ummmmm isn’t Lennox Linton is really doing the same thing here … building his so-called celebrity status among a certain demographic in the name of a better Dominica? Just saying!
No Sir, This is an opportunity for The UWP team (notice team and not one man) to get an on the ground assessment of the real issues that affect our people. o when they take up office they will be able to address the issues that affect Dominicans.
Yup, they MUST be PREPARED to make the CHANGE that they are TALKING about.
Thats it all of you must come togehter to try to do half of what that one man can do.
The big job that Issac have what have he delivered to date? go ask the CDB.
You mean the people want to run the country and know nothing about the country? They spend how many years since 2000, campaigning but going only after the individuals in government and knew absolutely nothing about the country itself?
Oh My!! And you want us to change? No way!!
@Texas Hell NO.!!!!! I will never see Linton as a God, and Linton being the type of person that he is, will NOT WELCOME THIS IDEA THAT IS GOD EITHER!!!!!. What I can say is that this COAST TO COST IN 25 days, is a darn GOOD IDEA, AND IT COMES FROM PEOPLE WHO CAN THINK!
You should CAMPAIGN EARLY to GAIN MOMENTUM. That is NOT seeking CELEBRITY STATUS. How can anyone, including Roosevelt, rebuild the Island if they visit PARTICULAR AREAS. I think BOTH LENNOX and ROOSEVELT need to EVALUATE the NEEDS of the CITIZENS to IDENTIFY how to make their LIVING CONDITIONS BETTER.
I am NOT in favor of any one party, I am in FAVOR of PROGRESS.
MAY THE BEST MAN WIN.
Mistake – UWP has been never stopped Campaigning since they lost the election but their campaign was of a different nature.
The Prime Minister and his Government knows about the plight of the people and the country needs and wants and has been working very hard to make sure our needs are being met, while the others were campaigning.
There is a time to work and there is a time to campaign the DLP knows that – I am not sure of that the UWP does.
If you cannot see the tip of your nose you shouldnt be posting comments because by now you should know that Linton is about the country, people,constitution, and rule of law, he doesnt care if you like him personally that’s not what he is all about, look at what he is doing and saying how we can save our lovely Dominica.
Look false hope and that is no joke. All in islands in the ECCU are struggling. I would prefer if you say I cannot promise you a pot of gold but I will try. Why do you set your goals so high in an economy that is basically struggling? This is why I think that you are a fake. Give me facts because countries that are more developed are struggling. What will you do to obtain 5000 jobs in three years? I am so amazed at this submission. Do not give up false hope and when you reach in the financial centre you are going to change your tongue. Let me hear something different please
You will be one of those who will stop covering your face at the Red clinic wheh your friends are passing by. Your laziness will finally be over, since you can work. You will finally be an independent person,thanks to Linton and his capable team!
If that should happen, you will have grounds for an OVERTHROW. I agree with you in part; I do not know how Lennox will come about with 5,000 in three years. It may be possible. This is called STRATEGY.
Your opinion is really silly when you think about it. Why should I vote for a candidate who says, “I will TRY to do this” or “I THINK I can make this happen”? Not when I am already struggling to make things meet on my end. Not while the economy is sinking and I have a family to feed. I don’t want a leader who says he will TRY when things are so bad right now. I want one who is confident enough to know that he WILL bring change. At the end of the day, that person will have my vote.
Why would you vote for a candidate who makes unrealistic promises? Don’t you know that he is blatantly lying to you?
And you still struggling so? because you like people that saying I will give you 500 jobs and then tell you, the company not coming again. That is the people you voting, sort
Finally i can vote for change,i tired with labour and their crap,i boycotting them this coming election.
When you are in the frying-pan be careful with the fire. Be careful with your jumping.
never stop there befor y now looking for PM u lie
never stop there befor y now
Sweetheart, NO ONE STOPS unless they NEED SOMETHING.
linton went on a road kill and the man is satisfied with that,well linton underestimating famme wachen,hmmm,rum drinking food eating,what he expect,people liming is all fun,is when the big decision day reach,he go see who the joke is on,dominicans linton,bway me ah tell you.
The joke is on you Linton.
Do NOT REJOICE just yet.
Before there was UWP, there was Labour. UWP is an opportunistic party. Every 15 years, they come and take advantage of new voters, and talk about change. but everybody knows that Edison James has abandon the party and is due toretire because he knows that UWP day are over. I predict a clean sweep for Labour when elections comes. UWP will lose its deposits, and the remaining three seats. then aht are they going to say, ‘oh the government rigged the election’, ‘oh the president was illegally elected,’ ‘oh the priminister this and that.’ UWP and DFP days are done, Labour for ever Dominican
Do not COMPLAIN when you wont be able to buy sugar.
Earlier on you indicated that you are not for any one Party. If so why make this statement. Tricks you have? You are a UWPrite!!!
In life, never say never. Who could imagine, Lennox Linton making the rounds in rural Dominica “shaking hands” with farmers and begging for their vote? Here is a man who sat pretty at Morne Daniel. The plight of the ordinary man meant nothing, absolutely. The line workers at DCP can attest to that. How many of them got a ride to work when he encountered them on their way to work, rain or shine? Today, he is actively canvassing the same people (mothers, cousins, brothers sisters etc. at Belles) to help him get the biggest job in the land. Again, we are to be reminded of the words “never say never never” Our world is much too small and our life’s destiny is not dictated by man or every day events. Finally,as an employee of DCP, I have lived to see Lennox at the doorstep of a poor man begging for assistance to achieve his life’s dream. An aspiration that would place him even in a bigger position to look down on the poor man.
@Child of Mahaut, would you rather STAY DOWN LOOKING UP? Is it not what people do when they are NOT SATISFIED? When what we have is OUTDATED should we not make a CHANGE to see what that CHANGE will bring? The OPTIONS for CHANGE are always AVAILABLE. If you LIKE what you have KEEP IT, if you DO NOT LIKE what you have, you GET RID of it. AND THE CYCLE GOES ON.
you only get rid of what you have if there is something better. Change is good but I will stay with what I have until I see something better. the UWP camp is not better; they get pay for the job that they are not doing, that is dishonesty. I can say a lot more but I will stop here.
You like the word “option”. Well take this. Like many Dominicans, I have absolutely no “option” to choose from. Lennox is not being himself. He has no natural affinity to liking ordinary people. The man is putting on a show and using cliches after cliches to sound an empty, non-attainable message of whathe refer to as “hope”. Untill he answers truthfully the questions about his association with SCL and his political admirer’s association with the St.Kitts Economic Citizenship program, which Thompson Fontaine says is cashing in bilions of dollars for St.Kitts, then all his years of promoting good governance, transparency by public officials, truth to power, righteousness and justice etc. will be just whatit is for now – talk, and more talk. I have no option, You seem to have, but for me and the majorityof Dominicans, smooth talk is just another tool of the other worls that ought not to be trusted. Stay cool with your option.
Let me tell you once you from Marigot you will never ever beg for assistance remember we were the ones who use to send down the bags of provision so you could get to eat Linton will not be a begger and he will reach the finish line regardless of what you believe because we need change and it’s comming.Now take that in your pipe and smoke it.
@ Child of Mahaut , you couldn’t have said it better ,can you imagine Lenox went all the way to belles and what he could offer a poor woman is a joke!!!!!!whay papa unwanted wreckless party not easy!
Because he do not go and fool her, all u know is give me give me, beggar.

Shoe-in WELL YOU GET STUPID MAN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN 19-2, 19-2, 19-2.
YOU FORGET THE 18-3 THING. ALL YOU STOP WITH IT NOW? I WONDER WHY!
Well our next PM is HONOURABLE Lennox Linton. I thought it was Skerrit alone who had diarrhoea. You have it too? Too Bad!
Wesley is already taken; The DLP has that one.
Only Marigot he may get and that is uncertain. I think Mr. James better stay if thy want Marigot.
I think Linton has to be in Opposition for 10 years to learn the ropes. Two more terms in opposition and by that time they can build the party and let us see them be a successful opposition before they can be returned as a government.
The UWP forget that they should have been a party in waiting and work with government to help the country instead of how they behave in all those years. They have to learn how to be a successful opposition before we make a big mistake and put them in government. Not Now, Not Yet. No change coming.
Are u dreaming. Please Wake up an don’t put Roseau South in your crap
Did you say “Vieille Case” is voting Lennox?

you forget st jo. that one in de bag already.
What about Mahaut? Allu giving that to Labour? Ronnie taking that for sure!
What all you expect Mr. to say,when Mr.said that his calling to boycott the Independence Day parade and School Rally was a success!Mr.lying more than Christopher Columbus.Election not even close,what he scared of? The PM have Mr. like a yo-yo.
@ FAST AND FURIOUS The only time I will believe that he is lying is when you say “He lying more than Skerrit”. Otherwise you are a joker.
If you have any common sense ask yourself this question and I qoute,for all those other years why only 30 children from all the schools were allowed to participate in the youth parade and now a letter was sent out to the parents with if they dont show up their will be consequences, and why was all shools close down and why transport was provided, all of this wan never happened in years gone by why it’s happening now, so dont tell me it had to take the leader of the UWP to mentioned boycot and all hell broke loose and you call it a success.
An appropriate respond to a foolish comment.
When Lennox Linton attended the Dominica Grammar School it was COMPULSORY for ALL students to attend the schools parade. A medical certificate was required for those who abstained.
I hope after election Mr Linton will still have that momentum ,I also sense desperation on his part,if things had work out for him in Antigua I wonder if he would have return to Dominica ? Alas he don’t even know the Marigot people. I guess know he’s trying to get to know them,that’s one of the main reason for the coast to coast meeting. how many people can say they got help, advice or anything from mr Linton before this campaign hype. just some questions
All you people must understand that Lennox Linton is a Dominican, does hold citizenship of another country and therefore can contest elections to be a Member of Parliament. All you haters say the man does not greet people and does not smile. When his interactions with the people on the ground prove other wise, you all have problem with that. Give the man a break! Lennox, be yourself brother, make the adjustments where necessary (all of us have adjustments to make in our lives) and remain tightly focussed on the great job ahead.
Coast to Coast wasn’t a bad idea, but it has backfired in a way, cuz i just seeing i will still vote labor. workers don’t have nothing to offer. take away all the criticising of labor(obsession with skerrit) and what you have left is a party with ….nothing. no ideas, no vision, old recycled ideas that cannot move dominica forward at all. 5000 jobs my left toe.
i shall stay with labor. maybe 2020 for all a yuh
it never backfired, in fact it’s great… we’re meeting with the unemployed labourites ya’ll claim to love and bringing them over to us… #Fact
What about the employed labourites? I guess they don’t need change?
I want SMART goals….nothing wrong in being realistic….5000 jobs in three years isn’t a realistic goal. I feel like the opposition is making a mockery of the voting public. We all want jobs, and health care and education so plz don’t exploit us for political gain. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Are you promising 5000 jobs or 5000 NEW jobs? There is a difference…..
reaching for the stars is not realistic either, but we tell our children “reach for the stars and then they’ll at least meet the clouds. ”
low expectations, little r no results, high expectations means results. 5000 is big. and we know to vote him out if he does not achieve it or come reasonably close.
Show me the jobs first before I waste my vote on you. The job must not be only be when elections are called having big signs with people in chains and (?) question marks.
People are working under DLP that is a certain; and more people will get jobs under the DLP that too is proposed and we can more identify with that. Every country has unemployment even the first world countries; so anyone who tells us jobs will fall from the sky without saying if a parachute or helicopter will be used not ready yet.
So we want to see the jobs, we want to know where the money will come to pay the people and who will provide the employment.
Simple questions which need to be answered first.
@Anonymous you have opened your mouth and you have actually said nothing. You claimed they have no ideas then in the same sentence you say the ideas are recycled. If they have no ideas why then do you say maybe 2020 for them? If labor has all the ideas why not stay with them forever? Did you follow the job forum? What is wrong with the brilliant idea of meeting the people on the ground who are most affected by the sorry state of our economy, due to its current miss-management? The fact is you guys are so desperate in trying to shamelessly keep faith in a failing government (that is also losing support and popularity) that you search for negative things (even when there are none) to say about positive initiatives that are working for the other side. You cannot make yourself look smart by calling someone else a fool. If you are a fool you are just that a fool. If you are failing you are failing and you cannot call someone else’s success a failure to make you look like you are successful either.
FIDEL CASTRO has been in office forever. Yes he is sick, and placed his brother at the helm. CUBANS at HOME and ABROAD CANNOT do what they would like to do because they LIVE IN FEAR. Do YOU want that type of CONTROL in Dominica? If Roosevelt has done good and continues to do good, then he should be considered for another term, but to have HIM or ANYONE ELSE in OFFICE FOREVER is OUT OF THE QUESTION. I DO NOT WANT TO BE CONTROLLED BY ANY ONE. I would like to live my life they way that I see fit. That is why there is a word called “TERM.”
Presidents, Prime Ministers, Governors and ALL should be in office per TERM. When that TERM is over and done, you SEEK ANOTHER LEADER. There is no BIG or SMALL Country.
After 15 years it is logical for the Government to loose support and popularity, but at what rate. It is the UWP that is not having impact the 18 to 3 mountain seem to have them exhausted. Even Thompson Fontaine is prepared to take his PHD to the gutter with deception. When Thompson Fontaine say something got check it out yourself and spend some time reading and thinking.
No more boycotting to divert attention and Forward you Go!
Keep focused! Labour cannot win on the issues of Job creation, competence, a dream team, performance and all the positive aspects of development.
So just keep rolling with a positive message and Labour Day will be done for them to pack up!
Looking good.
Imagine I am a Labourite! but 15 years of incompetence is enough!
You hear lie. That is lie.If Dominicans elect me I have a plan to make us the world ‘s richest country in three years. Please don’t ask me how. where there’s a will there’s a way. With my great articulation and wonderful people skill I am positive that I will be able to pull it off.
key word. Articulation. Thats what Lennox “thinks” he has. saying one sentence in 10 different ways, and using a “parchay” big words.
Yes Bill Gates dropped out of college and owned Microsoft …but really,
Are we ready for a man with zero qualifications (other than the use of big words) to be PM of our country?
I want to know…
you are no laborite u lie
I don’t want a dream team. For two reasons:
– Dreams quickly become nightmares
– I gotta wake up, smell the coffee and get moving….
Good for you @Ann. If something do not work for you you should change it and move on.
Be honest You not a Labourite. Manteh. Stop lying!
According to my good friend, Dennis Joseph, who is the man with the master plan, MR. LENNOX LINTON, Prime Minister in waiting.
Did he say which year?
Before announcing those 5000 jobs, I believe we should wait for the December meeting of the US-Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC), followed by the announcement from Mr. Bernanke (Chairman of the Federal Reserve) on December 18, 2013, for an indication of the health of the US economy, which is expected to continue to struggle till mid 2016. Remember when they sneeze we catch the cold.
bowdell plenty bowdell that means rubbish , nonsense, stupidness i do not know exactly what bowdell mean nah lol
Sort……so why use the word? Typical of you guys. Never understanding any situation but just open mouth and talk.
Lennox we praying for you.

You all got a tremendous welcome in my area of GrandFond. DOCTOR FONTAINE! WE WANT YOU!.
WISH YOU ALL RETURN SOON! GREAT MOVE! Time to call the election Skerro, for the people to send you, your arrogance, and incompetence packing.
We shall not be moved Labour forever….
Good job. Every vote counts. Take nothing for granted. Lets take that momentum all the way – no slacking up. The Labor party ministers are already job hunting. China is hiring.
All the best to Lennox in his endeavours to bring positive change, including good governance, to Dominica.
You sure you know what good governance means. And please don’t get me started on positive change. We have a lot of unanswered questions we would like to hear you all answer. are you all willing to answer the questions in the name of transparency?
look how long ago this dlp administration started a road from canefield to pond casse and it incomplete over 10 years and then they say they workin well… well I would not want to see what u all aint workin at all. wicked set of what shall u do!
Please stop being deceptive. You know very well what the problem is.
a 10 years problem??? lol.. u have jokes
and to add to that I would like to give kudos to the DLP government for having the courage to take on such a mammoth task. Uwp would not even dream of it when they were in power but they talking about international airport. Please people, you cannot put the cart before the horse. We have to put the proper infrastructure in place before we proceed with building an international airport. The DLP is right on track.
Skerrriiiiiiittttttttttttt boiiii You in trouble… Lennox (United Workers Party) taking 15 seats.. In you face!!! That’s if u aint leave the country, the following day after the election result is certified…
Forward with Lennox 2014-15
the most i seeing uwp getting next election is eight. they can look forward to 2020 if they still around
five for the most.
name the 15 seats UWP taking?
There is no need to name the 15 seats, just look and see the DLP ministers that always on the news and DNO about what they doing in their constituency… all of a sudden they way up from sleep.
1. Roseau North 2. Roseau Central 3. Kalinago 4. Castle Bruce. 5. Salisbury 6. St. Joseph 7. Soufriere 8. LaPlaine 9. Marigot 10. Colihaut 11. Wesley 12. Trafalgar
@ Pet projects I hope you don’t get disturbed from your sweet dream , can you name the fifteen seats? great sense of humour!!!!!
Ou Ka Wayvey man In your dreams!!!!!!!
Good job Team Dominica on your way to victory.
look bowdell!!!
what exactly is the definition of bowdell
Dominicans just take a Guadeloupe creole term to mean “nastiness” and have it using like slang…oh boy!
