SO who did he vote for? It’s like Cucum voting for Edison.
I HOPE ASTAPHAN VOTES FOR THE WRONG CANDIDATE
It has been rumoured that Ambrose is postioning himself to be the next leader of the dlp and dominica in the unlikely event that the pm is asked to vacate his seat. I belive that the ruling of the court will be taken to the court of appeal. I also beleieve that the pm will retain his seat or a bye election wil be called and also as far as St Jean is concerned definitely there will be a bye election. So really there will be a mixed result where both sides claiming some victory.
AMBROSE should be leader and I know that some people in newtown, well alot of talk against him now because the PM and Blackmoore are POLITICALLY more astute than Ambrose.
I think Ambrose will help clear dominica;s good name although there has been many allegations aginst him and talk about the washing of money in the roseau river but all that is just unfounded……can someone wash maoney in a river ?
we will HOPE THAT pm skerro gives ambrose his chance to be pm he missed it twice already with rosie and pierro.
ITS AMBROSE TIME
People, let’s wise up…please
Sounds like someone who has been listening to Q95 and the other stupid UWP talk show. I am sorry he lost his life foe some political crap
What the opposition should do is try
To impose term limitation on all politicians
In office. No more that 8yrs in order for democracy
To grow new innovated ideas need to be brought
Forward to the people. We can’t have one person in power for decades or that’s right we can in a communist world. Wake up dominicans, there are a lot of sons and daughters that are highly qualified to take our country to the next level.
Politics need to be taken seriously. Anytime a party will spend 23 million on an election and fly jets into an airport which is not an international airport it must be taken seriously. Politics must be taken seriously when a sitting PM is challenged by his embassador and when a sitting PM ends up in court to decide his legitimacy. When politics determines who eat chicken wings and who suck breast can we take politics as a joke. In Jamaica he thought of his children and his life and decided that this error could determine his own fate and many of us have come to realise in Dominica
IF EVERY POLITICAL PARTY SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO WORK FOR THE GOOD OF THE POPULATION ;WHY DON’T THEY HAVE ONLY ONE POLITICAL PARTY. THIS IS TO SHOW EVERY ONE OF US THAT THESE ARE JUST WORDS AND LIES WHICH COMES FROM THEIR MOUTHS.
1 PARTY,1 NATION,WORK TOGETHER , FOR EACH OTHER THEN WE WILL ALL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IF ITS GOOD OR BAD BUT EVERY POLITICIAN EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN THE SAME PARTY OR NOT THEY ARE ALL AGAINST EACH OTHER WHILE THEY WANT TO FILL THEIR POCKETS TO BETTER THEIR OWN FAMILY AND FORGET THOSE WHO VOTED TO PUT THEM IN POWER.

WHAT THAT VOTER FORGOT WAS, AFTER ELECTION THAT POLITICAN HE WANTED TO VOTE FOR WOULD NOT EVEN KNOW IF HE EXSISTED
At least he voted alive but in Dominica dead people voted in the last election. Some of them came on chattered flight.
You see how important your vote is?
i want to met them school girls.i will help them out no strings attached
Placing an X in the wrong place is very expensive.
Labourites in Dominica seeing good misery but they are so embarassed to talk about.IF THINGS HARD SAY IT HARD.Some of the folks on pension cannot even meet their monthly obligation.Plenty children going school hungry.just ask some of our teachers. Endless school children couldnot pay for their cxc. ASK welfare and education trust fund.They have the records.Endless school girl selling their bodies just to get snack or break.It not EASY in the country you know.
That is stale news…. things were bad under Freedom and UWP just the same way. UWP even had free text books playing politics with. How many got pluged again?
Look for me …..
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD THEN YOU WILL SEE HOW FORTUNATE AND BLESSED WE ARE IN DOMINICA , I WONDER IF YO WATCH NEWS ON THE TV OR YOU ARE WATCHING THE WRONG CHANNELS JUST TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD ,EVEN IN COUNTRIES THAT ARE RICH,
Some people are too blind & lack commonsense to see that except for the exceptionally rich, it’s hard all around the world including North America & Europe so Dominica’s situation is not unique. Its worldwide, infact Dominicans have it better because of access to free fresh food, water etc.
DUNCE..TELL ME WHICH OTHER GOVERMENT EVER PAID FOR THE ITEMS MENTION..EVERY DAMN STUPID SUBJECT IS ABOUT LABOR PARTY,SKERRIT AND POLICE..FIND SOMETHING MORE EDUCATIONAL TO TALK ABOUT. IF THE GOVERNMENT HELP THEY SAID IS RED CLINIC,IF THE GOVERNMENT CANT HELP IS STILL A PROBLEM..TELL ME IN WHICH COUNTRY IN THE CARIBBEAN THAT GOVERNMENT TAKE ON PEOPLE BURDEN AFTER THEY GO AND HAVE UNWANTED CHILDREN..SIT ON YOU ALL LAZY ASS,MAKE CHILDREN AND CRY ON GOVERNMENT FOR NOT PAYING FOR WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
@ vip
First of all where do your comment fit in, in this article?
Let us be fair. Who are you blaming for that? Parents are responsible for their children. They want children? Then they have to bear the responsibility of nurturing them, housing, feeding and clothing them. Too often people blame the government for their frailties and the manner in which they live their personal lives. You know some of those children are born out of wedlock. Some men having children with several women; some women having children with several men. Some of them are not employed. I am not insinuating that they should practice birth control. I am implicating and putting it mildly they should be godly people, if you know what I mean. Place the blame where it belongs.
You can say that again! You would never imagine the kind of big-time ppl that going and get loan by Fast Cash.
Probably instead of buying them blackberries, weave,hoochie mama shoes, doing their nails everyweek, that money should be spent to pay for exams and to feed them.
We are such hypocrites. Have you ever sat on a bus with school children to see the amount of them who have bb phones and iphones? They even laugh at you cause you are working and you do not have a bb. Go to the hairdresser and they are there every week. When I do my nails once a month, they do theirs every week. Don’t talk about the shoes and the outfits that they wear. Then we come and blame Dominica/government because they hungry.
Let us get our priorities straight and stop leaving above our means. Stupes
*I meant “living”.
WHAT UTTER B****T…I GREW UP IN A TIME WHEN WE HAD TO PUT SUGAR, COOKING BUTTER AND EVEN TABLET(THE SWEETENED COCONUT TREAT) IN OUR BREAD TO EAT…WE UNDERSTOOD THAT OUR PARENTS DIDN’T HAVE MUCH BUT WHAT THEY HAD THEY MADE THE BEST OF…AND MOST OF US TUREND OUT JUST FINE…AND NOW YOU TELLING ME THIS NONSENSE.
MOST CHILDREN TODAY AND THAT’S A FACT, SELL THEIR BODIES BECAUSE THEY WANT MATERIAL THINGS (CELL PHONES, CLOTHES, SHOES, QUICK MONEY, ETC.) AND THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET IT NOW.
I’M SURE YOU SEE THEM, WALKING THROUGH ROSEAU, DRESSED DISGRACEFULLY, LOOKING LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO A BROTHEL, CURSING AND FLAUNTING THEIR WEARS WITHOUT REMORSE.
SO THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS AND SOME PARENTS ARE EITHER TOO BLIND, TO STUPID OR TO SUE-TI-WHE.
it is hard all over. that is not to say that its ok. the only way to solve those problems is to work together, both ruling and opposition.
but this is ufortunately imopsible in todays political climate.i do hope however that we can all put aside pety politics and do whats right for our country and its people.
I dont wait for goverment help I work and leave on my SWEAT be careful what u say today might judge u tomorrow stop calling ppl hungry it might just happen to the caller grow up. I do with what I have
I suspect that going to happen to nuff of them blues after Skerro win again in 2014. LOL.
take care u doh get one on January 10th…lmao
DREAM ON ON THE 10 I HOPE NEFA,LINDURST, GENTLEREST HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO FIT IGNORANT IDIOTS LIKE YOU. THINK HOW UNIMPORTANT YOU ARE IF YOU DIED RITE NOW NO ONE WOULD GIVE TWO CENTS ABOUT WETHER YOU WERE RED GREN BLUE OR YELLOW, ARE YOU READY TO MEET YOUR MAKER RED IDIOT?
In your dreams Skerro would have to get another corrupt country to give him their money to purchase D’ICANS because that’s the only way that some of you live by hand outs but I dont believe it will work this time around
EH BEH WEH POLITICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I MYSELF STAYING FAR FROM IT, BEFORE IT GIVE ME HEART ATTACK AND MAKE ME DROP DEAD!
OR MAKE ME COME FAT LIKE THE ONE INCHARGE!!!!!!1
SIT DOWN ON MONEY.HHMMM
MR TAKING THAT POLITICS GAME HARDER THAN THE OPPOSITION IN DCA MAN?
HOW MANY OPPOSITION MEMBER DIED IN OFFICE? THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK IDIOT
Not a Labor fan but that is funny.
WHATTTTT…..the depth to which people take this POLITICS thingy..
Life is worth living. He voted. He made an error and he should have forgotten about it. He really took politics too seriously. Losing his God-given precious life was not worth the worry. I wonder what happened when he died and had to answer to God for his actions.
You know the saying: “Don’t worry be happy.” Or after all is said and done life has to go on.
Dude, if you ever lived or live in JA you would understand what politics mean to them. A serious business dat. Scary too. That’s where I learnt to keep my political and religious opinion to myself. They used to play a song “Al Capone guns don’t argue”. Nuff said.
HAHAHHAHAH THAT WAS WIKILEAKS UNCLE…
i hate you
… i honestly never thought of laughing at that… but u just had to strike a nerve lol
