    True Dominican, you may have seen what the leader of the country where you leave can do, look like you are satisfied the leadership more than skerrit’ cause you still leaving overseas, you must come home to get from the free money at the red clinic whenever you want, so you will not have to work hard anymore, that’s good leadership. wonder if you would do that? if you were offered a bette paying job than what you have, would you say you have not seen the other job you are not leaving the one you presently hold? Life must change, things don’t remain the same. Skerrit has made some people lost their independence, their pride, their sense of ownership, it feels so good to be independent, you can spend your hard earn money freely, rather than going to a man to beg, CAN I HAVE SOME MONEY PLEASE? Is this good leadership? are you not independent? don’t you work to earn your money? somebody else can do the same, rather than they going to red clinic. He is setting up his family to not…

    Oh! we coming home in jet loads , will the jets be coming for free? is so you all who are coming to vote like it, freeness, true Dominican , but you live over seas where you feel life is sweater than dominica and you talking about leaving labour for another five years ,will you be paying for your own flight? if you say labour again why don’t you come to live and work in true Dominica where life is sweet under labour? why don’t you advice Skerrit to use the money he will be using to pay the big jets to take better care of his people? so many people in dominica cannot go to a hotel to have a decent dinner, because they cannot afford it, things are getting so expensive , and saleries remain the same, where as people like you and Skerrit can go to there to have dinner, you people think only of your selves. people cannot afford their basic needs.

    It appears that Ms Emmanuel is qualified to run for the petite Savanne seat. A change is for Dominica to regain the respect she possesses in the Caribbean.

    Rosanna has the full support of the people of the Petite Savanne constituency, and even more so the people of her village, you are coming to make serious changes in that constituency, a hard working woman, a woman of integrity, a woman with wealth of knowledge, and so much more. We the people of the P/Savanne constituency are ready ready, really really.ready. BECAUSE THE REAL CHANGE COMING.

    Nothing does not change without a revolution.
    This is an intelligent woman. Dominica needs a change
    Skerrit is trembling in his gigger boots now.

  8. Police after Criminals
    May 10, 2019

    Skerrit and the DLP knows they have failed us after 20 years but to cover their failure, Skerrit ran in front and fired 8 ministers and 5 candidates, some of whom had not even contested an election. But Skerrit should have fired all of them, including himself because as PM and Finance Minister the failures start with him. But We understand why he couldn’t fire himself, Ian, Reggie, and Blackmoore is because they know they need to be in hiding and the best place to hide is in a government office that gives them a Diplomatic passport. How could a government allow a 40 year old business like Ross to go and say nothing? Not even in the US a president would survive far less a third world country. But they had to force Ross out because Ross was in their way just as a criminal on the run would do anything to remove upstacles in their way. To give them 5 more years would only help them hide themselves better and deeper, while Dominica plunges deeper and deeper in hell. We need them out

  9. Think of that
    May 10, 2019

    We need to get them out by all means possible and I am happy that good quality candidates are answering the call because it is a curse on any nation when more Nationals have to form a line to see the pm than those that going to work. According to the Bible, poverty is a curse, bribery is a curse, begging is a curse and lying is as bad as stealing because when you lie you must do something worse to cover the lie. Any government that supports or encourages any of the above is a servant of Satan and sure not servants of Jehovah God. The very first responsibility God gave man was work. Before he gave Adam a wife he put him in the garden to take care of it. When a government takes away work from it’s people that government has painted and designed a very poor, bad, sickly and destructive future for it’s citizens.

  10. Even My eyes RED

    UWP has 21 candidates going up against the 21 candidates of the DLP. The UWP is Running on “Real Change” while the DLP is running on “No change is needed”. Now I want us to behave as a mature, resilient and educated people and stop that mapwee thing. So DNO here is my proposal to the Election committee and the Media houses:
    1. Before we vote please arrange at least 21 debates nation wide, where each candidate debates their opponent in their constituency on real issues. In that debate I want to hear each other talk about why they running, how much they were paid to run and their plan for their constituencies.
    2. Before we vote We need to have at least 2 debates between our leaders and an opportunity for leaders to take questions from voters
    3. Before we vote we need a debate between the two deputy leaders and a session for voters to question them.

    It’s time to show the world that we are a mature and educated people that are really resilient. So lets get going

  11. Character or Money?
    May 10, 2019

    The million dollar question that must be asked here is, How is Lennox linton and the UWP able to attract these very good and highly qualified candidates for FREE? Let’s not spin around it because this thing is as simple as 1,2,3 or ABC. Look, we have two parties in this race: 1. The incumbent DLP with 16 seats, an election budget of millions and millions of dollars, to buy candidates that are available on the market, and a leader that is willing to pay any price just to keep him protected. 2. The opposition UWP with 5 seats (excluding Judas Iscariot), no money and a leader they say that did not graduate from high school. Yet, it is the UWP that is able to go to Vieille case, Cottage, Calibishie, Salybia, Grand Fond, Castle Bruce, La Plane, Grand Bay, Soufriere and now Petite Savanne constituencies and able to attract the very best candidates, for FREE man. Not only that but almost all of these new candidates were at one time deeply involved and supported the DLP. What does that say?

    Wow! A woman I have known for many years to be stained RED and now she turned blue? At a time when Skerrit has so much money paying candidates large sums of money to run for him, Rosanna showing the cost of delivering Dominica for FREE, is worth more than the millions of Skerrit? Lady I must thank you for that in a special way because surely, this kind of attitude displayed by you helps me understand and appreciate this passage in Hebrews 11:24-25: By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

    25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; God Bless you and your family and I wish you God’s blessing

    Dominica needs change- Change to what I asked you? We will not charge for the worst that is what Linton, and his clowns 🤡 are, left hand doesn’t know what the hell right hand is doing in Lintoon lunatic party 😜😵

      May 10, 2019

      @Man bites dogs who sounds like either Daryl, Christian or Mills. Are you not tired of making a fool out of yourself? All you can do is try to stir hate and I am really fedup with you guys. If you feel Linton is worse than Skerrit, why not put out a list where Lennox performance was worse than Skerrit? By this I mean, show where Linton was fired on every job he ever held because of poor performance. So far, though I am still RED and not a friend of LInton though I will vote UWP next election, what I have seen from Linton is that of success. UWP looked like another dead party that could not attract a fly until Lennox Linton became the leader and he increased their seat in Parliament from 3 to 6 and really should have been by at least 9, if our elections were fair. Skerrit and the DLP who I voted for since 1999 until 2014 have failed Dominica miserably and not only that, but he might have sold us man. How can a person in their right mind reelect a person that forced Ross out of DA?

        @Red
        Great response supported by facts. When one closely exams the sordid and substandard performance and record of the current regime, it boggles the mind that there are people who still support this administration. The astronomically high rate of poverty, unemployment and under employment should give all cause for pause. The numerous incidents of corruption should rock the conscience of the nation. The selfishness and greed of the leader, ministers and their enablers is disqualifying. In no other jurisdiction in the Caribbean would this government be in power. But, again, it’s the violation of the electoral laws and the ubiquitous corruption that has the Skerrit’s regime still standing.

      This woman is just another victim of Roosevelt ignorance, and incompetents; you cannot understand her background, nevertheless, if she was still employed at Ross University School of Medicine where I am sure she was properly paid; I am sure she would not have left her job to venture into politics.

      Now somebody in Barbados have her job!
      Politics cannot employ every academically trained professionals like her; nevertheless, Roosevelt intention is to keep the country backward; undeveloped so that every skilled professional can look up to him and sing praises to him as you are doing.

    Wonderful person, and wonderful opportunity for the once labour stronghold to do like mainstream Dominica, and reject the corrupt and inept DLP, which is basically one man.This seat may well be a toss up seat, because the people of the constituency have a myriad of issues that the DLP has ignored. Why is the Delice P Savanne road closed? What has happened to the Bellevue Chopin playingfield? What happened in Bagatelle and Fond St Jean from 2014-2019? What has happened at Pichelin? Wise up people! My relatives in the constituency have agreed and will vote for change.
    With hard work and a good team, the seat is winnable!!! Go for it Rosanna Emanuel! Brilliant candidate!

      For this to go to DLP her first cousin Dr. Daroux must run again.

      I have clearly seen development under the Dominica Labourites Party led by Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit. Can’t understand how our country develop so quickly after Hurricane Maria and yet still we say our Prime Minister lazy. Can someone define for me the term lazy? From looking at the meaning in the Oxford dictionary, I think the perfect example would be the opposition leader

        @True Dominican
        Lazy in government means when an evil and wicked leader destroys all income generation sectors of an economy like agriculture,tourism, manufacturing, etc and has passport selling as the country’s main economic activity. It also means when an evil and wicked leader destroys all state institutions like Village Councils, the IPO, the police, the Electoral Commission, etc..
