UWP, Bruno, reject Wickham’s position on Skerrit pronouncement

The President of the United Workers Party Isaac Baptiste is rejecting claims that his party’s Opposition Leader Lennox Linton has not gained popularity.

It was regional pollster Peter Wickham who claimed that Linton is not popular enough to become the next prime minister of Dominica.

But Baptiste told our newsroom on Thursday that nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, he said Wickham’s view is biased towards the incumbent Dominica Labour Party.

“We have to recognize that he is not an independent pollster when it comes to Dominica. Whenever he does work here he does it for the DLP and his statements and pronouncements will reflect and speak to the advantage of the DLP” Baptiste said.

The UWP senator told us that quite contrary to what Wickham has stated, Linton is quite popular among the population.

“The information on the ground is that the UWP under the leadership of Linton, has gained tremendous support respect and confidence among the electorate,” he said.

According to Baptiste, Wickham is aware that the DLP leader Roosevelt Skerrit who runs the political campaign like a “one man show”, has lost support over the years.

Baptiste supported his claims by pointing to the fact that the prime minister had to change eighteen of his candidates this election year.

“Linton is seen as the most trust worthy option for Dominica at this time,” he said.

Meantime Baptiste is agreeing with Wickham that the people of Dominica want economic and social issues addressed.

“The people want change. They want real change. Change in the way the economy is managed,” he old our news desk.

He said over the past twenty years under the leadership of the DLP, the country has been the lowest in the Caribbean in terms of economic performance.

The UWP President also talked about how the post Hurricane Maria efforts are being managed.

“The number of contract issued to foreigners to rebuild while Dominicans remain unemployed is a cause for concern” he said.

Baptiste said Dominicans are also concerned about the discriminatory unfair practices in terms of distribution after Hurricane Maria.

Bruno says he will release the results of a new poll nest week

Meantime, political scientist, Alex Bruno is not supporting Wickham’s views on the “I run things in Dominica” pronouncements made by Prime MInister Roosevelt Skerrit.

Bruno who has conducted political polls in Dominica, is questioning whether Wickham would trivialize the matter if these statements were made by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Motley.
Wickham said the statements made by Skerrit is no big deal because the prime minister, in fact, runs the country.
“Skerrit statement cannot be taken in isolation because he has been saying things like that almost all his life in office. These statements are part of a troubling series of statements made by our leader,” Bruno said.
The political philosopher, as Bruno also refers to himself, said based on information on the ground, the battle is not about leadership among the parties.
“The sentiments about Skerrit versus Linton is not alive as it might have been before. Right now, it is Skerrit versus Clement Marcellin in Penville and Dominicans versus the Labour Party,” he added. “He (Wickham) is trying to spin this dangerous statement made by the prime minister that he run things but he doesn’t. The people of Dominica run things guided by the Almighty”.
Over the past month, Bruno has been conducting a national survey which he says is expected to be published on Monday.

    What Bruno and Isaac Baptiste are saying is BS.I have to take a Bagan to educated those idiotic lying Blue Bugs.In 1995 UWP won with 34.26% of votes.In 2000 they lost with 43.24% of votes.In 2005 they lost with 43.67% of votes.With LENNOX LINTON as Leader they lost with 42.85% of votes.Although they won 3 more seats.In 2014 Labour Party got more votes in 16 of the 21 constituency than they did in 2009 including Marigot and Salisbury.And voters did no even know LENNOX LINTON was EXPELLED from school and uneducated.What makes LINTON more popular than SKERRIT?Bruno and Isaac fake news and fake polls people.Next election is a sure win for Labour,whether BRUNO or ISAAC like it or not.UWP supporters must do some research instead of writing BS.Lazy,incompetent,uneducated Blue Bugs.Viewsexpress,Ibo France,Laplain Observer,Massacre,Gabriel St.Jean,% ,all lazy people.

    It’s a shame to see how we Dominicans responds to people statement. Wickman has his results and Bruno will be getting his results this coming week. I don’t know what’s all the battering about because, as far as I am concerned polls don’t mean anything. What matter she most is the day of election and party leaders should try to convince others to vote for them. Please stop these nonsense argument and let’s wait for election.

  3. June 15, 2019

    It is all a waste of time! Wickman is on the side of the Dominica Labour Party, he will always speak in favor of that party–“hence Lennox Linton is not well favored among the people”

    On the other hand, Baptiste is on the side of the United Workers Party, he will always speak in favor of that party–hence “Linton is seen as the most trustworthy option for Dominica at this time,”

    This is what we all expect to hear. And as for Alex Bruno, just the look of him tells me that he is irrelevant

    So we, the people are still left to stop, look, and listen to perceive the difference and to choose the best; not making foolish choices.

    May our God of Will and Power guide to choosing the best at this coming election.

    Lennox Linton is the best choice for PM of Dominica at this time. Roosevelt Skerrit had his chance, and failed. Mr. Skerrit is now desperately grabbing at any straw to attempt to keep himself where he is. Those of you who are close to him, be careful, as he is now in his most dangerous phase. This is not “Dominica’s darling dimpled PM” we were once infatuated with. This is a deceitful, manipulating, pretentious, power hungry, coward. Everybody, including labourites know this! I can’t wait to see him lose VielleCase. :lol: In fact, lemme go buy my champagne and put it on d fridge.

      Straightforward, while I appreciate your posting I have to disagree a little. Those ungrateful gang bangers and mobsters are not foolish they are bias and wicked.
      When a person who does not know better do something foolish they are uninformed, and make mistakes. But when leaders purposely mislead and manupulate its called “wicked” plain wickedness. What makes you go around the Caribbean and North America calling your fellow Dominicans criminals and prostitute ? What make you go on CNN (international t.v) and paint Dominica as a rogue country for passport practices that your party initiated in the first place. When you know for a fact that more than 88 countries have similar revenue programs and in the USA alone there are almost 1000 agencies.
      To misbehave like this you must be fanatically wicked to the bone.

      @ Straightforward, these were Skerrit’s own words. Why are you trying to invoke some red herring into the discussion? Skerritt said, “I run things in Dominica”. Therefore who should they blame? Looks like you want to eat your cake and still have it.

      Deny these. The worst economy in the sub region; the highest unemployment; the highest number of people with maladies; the most difficult air travel in and out of a country in the Eastern Caribbean; the lowest minimum wage; the worst pension benefits; a country with galloping dictatorial tendencies; most corrupt country in the Caribbean ( missing EC$270 000 000+ PetroCaribe money, Garmin and fertile scandals, no public accounts for CBI and Red Clinic, etc.). Skerrit must be held responsible for the unbearable hardships, insufferable misery, widespread underdevelopment, severe fragmentation of the people and the country. The leader gets the accolades for the good and should accept the blame for the ills in a country. Skerrit’s tenure is a blow of historic proportion to Dominica. It has lowered the quality of life and the life expectancy of too many Dominicans. The problem is, Skerrit was never ready nor prepared for prime time leadership. The man is an imbecile. Undeniable facts!

    Wickham doesn’t realize he is no longer the only respected pollster in town. He might also have forgotten how wrong the pollsters in America got it for the 2016 elections. Continue to think that the majority of Dominicans are drinking your Koolaid, but the facts on the ground will reveal to anyone with half a brain that the Skerritt government has failed the country in many facets of development. If for 18 years he can’t point to much more than what has been done in the past 2 years following Hurricane Maria, why should he be given more time? More time for him is more financial gains for you, but why should the majority of us Dominicans look out for your gain at our expense? No way Hosea. You have also admitted that we gave been shortchanged in terms of development under Skerritt. 18 years of Skerritt running is 18 years too many. Bye

    Lennox popularity is dropping of that there is know doubt. He is losing ground in Marigot which is supposed to be a UWP stronghold. In Marigot strong supporters of the UWP are reduced to hurling insults at individuals supporting the DLP.. desperate times. Wickham is right and Bruno knows it.

    • Jonathan Y St Jean
      June 15, 2019

      @Paul T, that’s a stretch for a comment from you. How do you equate the fact that some Marigot people, who are fed up and frustrated by the neglect of the Skerritt government, and who are hurling insults at Labour Party supporters, lead one to conclude that Lennox is losing support. It does not compute.
      So if Lennon is losing support then who is gaining that share of the support?. You should at least make sense when you put your finger on the send button

  8. I Still Red
    June 15, 2019

    I still Red but the truth is even if Linton as an individual has not gained popularity the party he leads, the UWP sure has gained a lot of popularity. So I don’t see how his party has gained so much popularity and for anyone to try to fool us in thinking the leader has not become much more popular. No doubt the DLP has lost it’s popularity by a significant margin. So isn’t that proof that Skerrits popularity has taken a serious deep? For example, I was part of the DLP campaign team last election but I cannot do this to Dominica, the land of my birth any longer. Wickham has every reason to try to keep Skerrit in Da for many reasons. #1. Bajans like to take advantage of the weak and they found a very weak and brainless PM so they feasted on his stupidity. # 2. Weeks after Mia Motley became Prime Minister of Barbados, she, Wickham and Hartley were able to trick Skerrit who was on office for 13 yrs and literally took Ross University from us. So Skerrit in office is a gain to Bados

    I am trying to find meaning in Bruno’s statement…”Sentiments about Skerrit versus Linton is not alive (and well) as it might have been before. Right now it is Skerrit vs Clement Marcelin in Penville and Dominica vs the Labour Party”.
    So Skerrit and Linton are not the leaders of their respective parties and Dominica is now a political party. Then putting Marcelin tete a tete with Skerrit makes Linton redundant…
    What kind of hidden motive we have here. Is the “popular” Linton on his way out according to Bruno’s polls/surveys/ research ?

    My take on this is simple; Wickham is not a Dominican and therefore he should shut up and don’t get involved in our politics. Both Wickham and Hartley Henry should be banned from Dominica and since Skerrit will not stop them we the people should do whatever it takes to stop them from putting foot here. Barbados just had there election and no Dominican interfered neither would Bajans allow Dominicans to Interfere. It’s time we stop that nonsense man. They already took Ross from us and that’s not enough? These people are not our friends and it’s time we see them for who they are and treat them as such

    Alex Bruno , self styled political scientist and philosopher ( no written evidence to support his fake claims) is a declared bias member of the uwp and their official pollster who claim that Wickham polls are not legit.
    Wickham is the official pollster of the DLP and as such is bias towards this party.
    Because of their conflict of interest I cannot give either credibility on this issue. Bruno claim to be a philosopher and a scientist but has no analytic dissertations /books on the subjects and shows no practice. This state of affairs gives him zero credibility.
    For a poll to be free or fair pollsters must be independent of influence.
    On the question of popularity I think the PM have the edge. He gets more negatives directed at him than Linton. Then he is more internationally recognized than Linton. I would not use the word popular to describe Linton. I will say Linton is notorious. The word scandalous comes to mind.

He, Mr. Wickham, and the de facto leader of the DLP (Tony) are the ‘Go To’ guys when things look depressing for Skerrit and his desperados. No credible pollsters would ever make subjective comments to deliberately skew public opinion in favour of his paymaster.

That was the first mistake. Skerrit knows nothing of what it is to be an intellectual but has abused our resources through the Bin and Fertilizer Bobol. He used a sitting Member of parliament, member of the Cabinet to use a family Member in USA to purchase Fertilizer whereas this order was within and was not processed through the normal Protocal for purchase state`s matters. It was Hon Linton, well positioned Dominican intellectual who has been this watchful Dominican who observed Skerrit and his failed Bobol Labour government with the abuse (Thievery)of state`s fund to purchase Bin and Fertilizer. That act is arrestable and an inquiry for whom ever was the architect of this thievery. Skerrit has been this so called Finance Minister who has to account for this thievery of states fund. Skerrit.

        Nevile you just confirmed what ds posted above. Everyone who supports the DLP is singing for their supper you always say. So what does the minority supporters of the uwp are singing for ?
        If I have to judge them by their empty utterances I will say they cannot sing one note. Because all they can do is talk, talk and talk all day long.
        They call a press conference for everything. The wind blow…press conference, the sky is falling press conference and on and on, endless bombastic verbosity.

          Thanks Joseph John, for your out of Que tone and failed Tune. You are so poor in analysing politics and socio economics, it is language and tone you wish to talk about. Please tell u your background and competencies, if there are any.
          Hon. Lennox Linton is a champion and a highly intellectual person, a position yo and your failed Skerrit are able to emulate. So please dont try and advise your failed Skerrit of this, he has made a fool of himself over 19 years.

          The majority of support given to the UWP is for a change of governance. People want servant leadership not this current quasi dictatorship. People need employment opportunities not idleness. People desire financial security not ‘dead broke’ only not on weekends or month ends. (Double negatives to get across my point). The people have been wallowing in abject misery for far too long (twenty years and counting). There is light appearing at the end of the tunnel. The time for change is now at our doorsteps. Free at last, free at last, thank Almighty God that we will be FREE from Skerrit’s suffocating, poverty-stricken, death-like stranglehold. The man is hopelessly corrupt and demonically evil. This a man who even dares to endeavor to fool God.

          …and you are the chief singer of them all. It’s there for everybody to see and it’s there for everybody to hear but you and your friends refuse the facts because you are being paid to do so. You are worthless individuals betraying your own country but all you still claiming to be patriots.

    I run things is part of Dictator-centered statements. The longer one person leads a country, the higher the propensity for dictatorship. I think that Mr. Skerrit has reached his expiration date as it pertains to leading the country. It it time to be removed from the shelf.

You refer to it as Garbage, never crossed my mind, so thanks for your analysis fo the labour political failed clowns who circus on matters of laughter and failure.
        Skerrit must Go….and stop promoting this failed clown we have as this so called “Odd Mininster”

    Skerrit said he run thing in Dominica ..The electorate will deal him a lesson
    Wickham’s trash and garbage has long been rejected by the majority, so this is a non issue..
    The real headache for DLP is that their own supporters are saying that they will stay home on polling day, because of the way that they have been treated.!!
    Skerrit Must Go

      I like the way you keep repeating facially challenged. But have you had a good look at Baptiste, Letang and Linton, the troika of the facially challenged. The term “boo boo day” come to your mind. I am sure when you look in the mirror you confirm that the 4 of you look like force ripe mangoes squeezed between two branches .

        @Joseph, “forced ripe mangoes”!

    Wickam is compromising his professionalism by always trying to defend and favor the DLP.
    Effectively he is paving his way to NOT secure any work in Dominica once Skerrit is put out of office.

      Ok Wickam is compromising his professionalism ,I do not see how because he is an acknowledge DLP pollster and he is doing his job, his duty, but I will go along with you for a second.
      But let me ask you this one question. I say one because I have 100 similar ones to diminish Linton. The one question is…where is the ethical professionalism when the leader of the uwp Hon Lennox Linton invade and impose himself at a Heads of Government Confrence as an imposter of a Head of State. Then call a press conference ?
