UWP’s decision to review boycott of parliament a victory for Dominica – DLP

George

The opposition United Workers Party’s (UWP) decision to review its boycott of the parliament has caught the attention of the governing Dominica Labour Party (DLP).

The DLP is describing it as  a ‘victory for Dominica’.

The UWP has made brief appearances but has largely stayed away from the House of Assembly in protest against the alleged biasness of Speaker Alix Boyd-Knights, and to press for electoral reforms the party says the government’s not keen on introducing.

Party officials said at a public meeting this week that the UWP is in the process of reviewing its strategy of non-attendance in parliament.

Deputy Leader of the DLP Ambrose George has been commenting on the opposition party’s announcement about the proposed review.

“The Dominica Labour Party notes news reports that the UWP delegates’ convention of January 15, 2012 has unanimously passed a resolution calling on the UWP parliamentary caucus to review its decision to boycott the house of assembly in anger over the DLP’s landslide victory in 2009,” George said.

He noted in a statement that “even this commitment to a review – small as it is – is a big victory for commonsense, justice and the hard working people of Dominica because in this case boycotting parliament was a hot headed response to political defeat”.

According to the DLP Deputy leader, news of the resolution means that the UWP “would exercise commonsense and would be putting an end to the comedy of lame excuses for boycotting parliament which now stands at 27”.

George labeled the UWP’s boycott a failed strategy to frustrate the will of Dominica’s majority.

“The resolution would also be an act of justice for the people of Dominica because for two years the UWP parliamentarians have continued to receive full pay for no work at the expense of hard working people of Dominica and at the height of a global financial economic crisis,” he said.

The DLP also wants the UWP to review other practices
it alleges the opposition party is encouraging, including the denigration of judges and the court system.

George also took issue with the so-called “people’s parliament”.

He contends that these activities are geared at doing harm to Dominica.

    The basis of a boycott by the opposition is a demonstration of their frustration due to the highhanded attitude of a Speaker who have taken liberties to use the Chair as the seat to manners the representatives of the people as children in a kindgarten class.
    There have been court cases in this matter.!!
    The opposition should continue with a parallel peoples parliament to air that which is blocked by the Rosie Douglas appointmrnt of the friend of his youth now perennial Speaker of the house and who in her private practice in the legal fraternity was never large on the screen and was better known as great CAKE MAKER and for her cuisine prowess .
    Clearly the advise of P.J makes sense a dual vote of no confidence debate on the SPEAKER AND LATER GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE THE AGENDA OF THE OPPSTION TO RETURN FORMALLY TO PARLIAMENT ,
    Any other appearance IN PARLIAMENT is a futile and inconsequential show of democracy and a place where THE MEMBERS OF THE RULING PARTY grandstands and seek to humiliate THE PEOPLES REPRESENTATIVES in the opposition with the support of the SPEAKER and the I,s HAVE IT !!!

      You all will continue to use question mark.Its time uwp be honest with dominicans.the decision to get into parliament has nothing to do with people resolution is Partrick John advice they took,cause its two years now since they refuse to enter parliament and its a resolution by the people they said that cause them to stay out why now should they asked you all to get back in.Are they now satisfy with the the election result,is skerrit and Petter St Jean now duly elected,if yes then why are you all still going to appeal the result,Mr George is right to say thats a victory for the DLP cause the vomit they let off are about to be taken back.Welcome guyes your space was always there but Eddo wanted to be in charge for him to bring you all in,he did’nt want to let a loser like Ron Green and a dotish like sprags lead him in.So now he is at the head you all must follow him.And one more thing Danny boy now you have a chance to read your speech hope you doe blonder

    Re Parliament dont see any issues at all.

    The facts are Dominicans accept mediocracy and dont ask hard questions about governance..

    If they were heads up the whole issue of UWP staying out would have being addressed by a informed Society, but sadly these issues brought to the table arent examined and look upon as a national aspect..

    Dominicans are not known for those high levels of input when rule of law and constitutions aspect arise..thats not their cup of tea..

    As when you look at the Bar Association etc..where is their input on issues..

    Thats why Dominica is in a lower rank because of it People Hurting Dominica Terrible….thats the core of the matter!!!

    Did the last election have a debate..haha
    where are those so call interest minds..

    Why didnt not the so call brains like Mr.A as a senior legal guy not arrange a debate and discuss issues…haha…

    with the advent of Telecoms at the level it is Globally Dominicans are still blind on all levels…but the facts are the continue to remain the Poorest in the Caribbean!!

I do not see people walking around with big tummies and pieces of clothing (except for the few sick ones we have. Poverty? Think again.

    Just shows how Dominicans are?

    under the rein of the UWP the Citizens had more disposable income due to the fact that UWP ran the island as a Spin over effect at all levels.

    Duty Free on farmers vehicles, the ease on Building Materials, those were positive measures by a thinking Regime.

    Sooner the Labour Party gets out of Office Dominica will breathe fresh air.

    But thinking of it why is Dominica the Poorest in the Eastern Caribbean, guess the citizens embrace the handout culture.

    Parliament is either here or there and is a smoke screen in my view as Majority of Dominicans dont listen issues or discuss with a solution to better National Pride.

    Look at the West Coast Road..no drains in this modern era, a regime cant be given marks for that..road will soon be damaged when it rains…Staduim…no place to park a min of 300 vehicles, plus score board isnt high tech,no Gym set up,airport sucks cant bring in bigger aircrafts so in all where is the vision…haha

    they killed agriculture, blocked the poor man from easy acces of ordering vehicles online, gave it back the the multi-million corporations.

    Chinise what the hell spill overs, do they rent homes, or purchase food stocks, how many locals employed..again Dominicans lack the ability to think along those lines.

    Dominicans are suffering from the Skero fever and nothing can change this.

    Lennox and Q95 can preach till their tongues drop out Dominicans care less right now about bread and butter issues.

    They use the element of being afraid what a joke..

    So UWP going back into Parliament is the least of the matter, the citizens need to become alert and not to be fooled and mislead by Astaphan for his enrightment zeals.

    i am one of those who believes that the official opposition strategy can change in the best interest of the party, but it is not for those who are oppose to so advise, in a change of strategy there has to be a semblence of political inteligence and by that i mean the opposition needs to bring to its benches men like Lenox Linton who declared his intentions to contest elections to strengenth the debate and stand up to this bias speaker, there also have to be inclusion by other opposition forces to show the electorate that a united force will bear the desired results re electoral reform, passport sales and corruption in government

    Did anyone of us remember the black arm band worn by deceased Hon Mike Douglas of the Dominica Labor Party when the queen visited Dominica and what was the purpose? It was all about an issue with live broadcast of parliament. That was Labor strategy then, so its left to the UWP to review its strategy as it sees it fit. Ambrose George its not your dam business to tell the official opposition what to do, who are you to talk about victory for DLP.

  21. Aye Dominique
    January 26, 2012

    I continue to have serious concern for Dominica now reading and understanding the thinking of its people. Those comments here is a clear indication that Dominica is in big trouble.

    Anyone here knows how parliament operates, and how business is carried on in there?

    I personally believe that this is another waste of time, and tax payers dollars. As I see it we do not need a parliament, because whatever that is done in parliament can be done in Cabinet.

    I think this is a waste of time and frustration, and to tell you the truth, whether or not the opposition goes it makes abosultely no difference. So stop crying about opposition not attending, the majority always have it and with this speaker, it is just ridiculous.

    If Dominicans really wanted an opposition they should have voted for one By what they did in 2009, clearly states that they do not need an opposition. Today if DLP gives them shit to eat, they just got to eat it and shut up, and leave the parl reps for Marigot, Salisbury and Roseau Central alone.

    It is just pathetic that today you all are crying for opposition, everyone boasted that DLP would win all 21, if they had in fact won 21, what would be the call for? All you forget fast, too fast.

    You all do things and do not think….Dominicans, think, think, think, in order to have check and balance we must have a strong opposition, we do not have a strong opposition so it makes no sense. Whether or not DLP wants to do anything, the majority have it. THE MAJORITY ALWAYS HAVE IT. Remember the type of men and women running politics today is no longer loyal to country, their loyalty is to a party so whether or not the proposition is in order, they support their party.

    Now whether or not UWP wants to attend, it is their perogative, but I would not attend parliament. Too many irregularities in the last election, they are simply endorsing what took place in the last election. UWP should not bow to pressure from anyone and continue to stand up for what is right.

    And re. the salary, alot of the ministers and top public servants are infact doing worst than the opposition. Travelling to meetings and never attending those meetings and tax payers paying for it. Wasting tax payers money on travel that brings nothing home. Sit in an office all day and produce nothing. So we can start doing the calculation and I can assure you, there will be many surprises.

      As far as I know, even if the Government wins 21 seats we will still have an opposition. That’s why there is an option for senators. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

      In any case, we cannot vote with the intention of having an opposition. How will that work? We decide before hand that this party will be govt and this party will be opposition? Sounds unrealistic. To have a strong opposition we need more than one party to present a strong case for election. UWP failed miserably int hat regard in the last election. If they really want to be in government they will concentrate on putting on a strong case next election. We have three years people – that is a lot of time to convince the electorate.

      Another thing, we have noticed how much the laborites love Skerrit. You know how when you in love, the more you are told to stay away from that person, the more you want to stay? Well so it is with the laborites. So UWP, stop attacking Skerrit. You are making them love him more. Divert their attention instead to a new set of dynamics. You have a better chance that way.

    Now that Edison James has re-secured leadership of the party they will return. It’s sad that he denied Hector the opportunity to gain a national profile as opposition leader by participating in parliament.

    I feel sorry for Hector and hope that UWP allow young people to achieve their fullest potential as leaders of the party.

    The last time parliament attendance was an issue was when Mike Douglas together with people like Ambrose decided to boycott parliament for 18 months when Eugenia stopped the live broadcast of parliament. Since when the opposition attendance at the house of assembly impact the development of Dominica. On paper it should be so but in reality it has never been so. Would the opposition have the power to stop the 27 million dollar malice ? – Be honest WIKILEAKS, JUDE NICHOLAS AND REAL POSSIE.

    Would the opposition have forced the government to focus on Agriculture and develop our tourism product ? It has been 11 years and the government still need the opposition to open up their eyes to focus on the productive sector and to build a society of independent people?

    Mr Ambrose while you are in parliament can you talk about integrity in office and in opposition- I hope you find a clear conscience to do so or do we have to invoke the ghost of Jeremy sinclair.

      By debating these issues they will be able to sway more voters to their side, if in fact they have strong arguments on the issues before the house. It is always good to hear both sides of an argument. You may think that you are right, but you could be wrong. That is why debating topics point by point is always healthy and enlightening.

His constituents realise now that they were side stepped and have forced him now to stand because he has nothing to loose now. Ron realises now that his back is no longer against the wall and since there can be no positive outcome for him from the citizen issue, then its his time now to mash up his party.

UWP have constructed linkages roads that has actually reduced the cost of travel in certain areas. Most of the scholarships are poor quality ones anyway, and think of it; how economically viable was the building of these roads to the umemployment figures?

    DLP if they were clever they would see this as being a bringing of all hands to the table..

    DLP if they are smart should use that to raise the standard of thinking and dealing with issues and stop, the process which has made Dominica become the poorest in the eastern caribbean under their term in office.

    The UWP by far have a better and higher level of thinking on issues and not a handout aspect and showmanship bling, this leads to your island being rated lower, and non attractive!

    DLP has failure badly to do any flagship or brain child project which has made a major impact on the Dominica annual activties..

    UWP by far were better risk takers for the movements of cas flow around the island..

    World Creole Music Festival is a Plus for the thinking ability of UWP, see the vision there..next step was the international airport, Power Plant to deliver high end services to these major sites etc…thats visionary thinking

    Whereby the DLP sort to give hand outs and not get a bigger piece of the cake from China, Charvez etc…ended up with gravel so there goes the difference in the way or managining affairs…not a smile and bling…will continue to rated your island as the Poorest…DLP thinks way to small to make Dominicans feel Proud…

    DLP has made Dominica cry on its kness because they lack the ability to understand read and write basic issues of making Dominica #1 in the eastern caribbean..

    DLP sucks to the core..they have a Senior Counsel Mr.A drawing BIG MONIES WITH CASES.
    and miss directing the island..

    If the outdated speaker throws their questions out..the people of Dominica must rall outside the Parliment to make a mark…

    The UWP boycotting parliament out “of anger over the DLP’s landslide victory”! Presumably mr. George is a mind-reader but this certainly is not the public sentiment expressed by the opposition party. I too do not approve of their decision to shun parliament but at most I would call it “misguided”. Mr. George represents a party, whose leader put out an olive branch and preaches peace, yet is vindictive in victory. With a majority of 18 seats one would at least expect some measure of magnanimity. Equally, his statement that they received “full pay for no work” , ironically is an indictment of all parliamentary representatives, not just the UWP ones as it infers that the only work they do is attending sittings of the House and are not actively engaged in their constituencies otherwise. This “vengeance of the victor” attitude leaves a bad taste in the mouth, is not helpful, certainly is not christian and should stop if we are to achieve much needed national cohesion.

  30. ROSEAU VALLEY
    January 26, 2012

    Mr. George, the resolution of the UWP clearly evinces maturity of a political party. It shows that the UWP is a healthy living and democratic institution that can effectively adapt in a timely manner to the demands of its constituents. The UWP’s justification – not excuse- for boycotting the unruly and disorderly House is no more a comedy of lame excuses given to FBI agents when caught engaging in money laundering activities. The UWP’s boycott has not been a failed strategy. This may simply be change of tactics but the battle for respect, fairness and justice continues.
    While it is true sir, that one of the more visible roles of a member of parliament is to participate in open and respectable political debates in the House, this does not embrace the totality of the function of the opposition members. A presence in parliament does not translate into doing the people’s business. The people’s parliament is doing the people’s business and addressing the concerns of the people.
    Finally sir, the DLP must stop the unmerited attack against the UWP that it is encouraging the denigration of judges and the court system. The judges and the court system must earn the respect that they are due. Wasn’t it a supporter of the DLP who denigrated the judge and the court on the airwaves when the court awarded damages to Mr. James?

    MR GEORGE, DONT WORRY YOUR SELF ONCE WE IN THE UWP GET RID OF MR GREEN AND SOME OF THEM WE COMING STRONG…

    To quote ambrose george “The Dominica Labour Party notes news reports that the UWP delegates’ convention of January 15, 2012 has unanimously passed a resolution calling on the UWP parliamentary caucus to review its decision to boycott the house of assembly in anger over the DLP’s landslide victory in 2009,” George said.
    This is most unfortunate that an educated senior citizen and church layman like mr. george would grossly misrepresent the truth to that extent knowing full well that it has absolutely nothing to do with just anger over any landslide victory but because of the election irregularities the UWP claim took place in the said 2009 elections and also the action of the speaker of the house. We must learn to fair

    I’m firmly for returning to the People’s House. The message has been sent. Also, lessons taught lessons learnt.
    By the way, any damaged done to the country/nation, is by the DLP. Hello!

      Ou pasa read?

      “The DLP is describing it as a ‘victory for Dominica’.”

      “He noted in a statement that “even this commitment to a review – small as it is – is a big victory for commonsense, justice and the hard working people of Dominica”
