My brother, I run things in Dominica&#8221;, he said<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">But Wickham told Dominica News Online (DNO) in an exclusive interview last night, that the prime minister&#8217;s statement should not have any serious implications on his political future.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The reality of it is that the prime minister runs the country and I don&#8217;t think that should surprise anyone&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">In fact, he told our reporter that in small island states like Dominica, it is quite normal for the head of government to meet with public servants privately.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;A country the size of Dominica with a population that small should be well accustomed to having a prime minister interact on all levels. Everybody and anybody meets the prime minister and people shouldn&#8217;t be surprised,&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Meantime, Wickham recently conducted an opinion poll in Dominica and although he did not reveal any figures to DNO, he said there are issues that concern the people.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">One of them has to do with the rebuilding of Dominica following Hurricane Maria in September 2017.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;People are concerned whether the bounce back after the hurricane was sustainable and with the hurricane season here, people want to know whether the island can withstand another disaster,&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Wickham said based on his knowledge, people are also concerned about the long term development direction of the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Questions of employment, the economy are of concern to the population. People are thinking about issues of airlift to accommodate the two major hotels that are coming on stream&#8230;&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said the &#8220;white elephant&#8221; in the room however, is the Leader of the Opposition Lennox Linton, who the pollster said, many people don&#8217;t seem to favour.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;As I moved around, I get the sense that there is a level of displeasure and the belief that he doesn&#8217;t match Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said while Dominicans may become weary of a prime minister who is in office for as long as Roosevelt Skerrit is, the alternative is not something that people are happy with.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This is not the first time that Wickham has claimed that Lennox Linton is not popular enough.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Wickham, who has conducted several opinion polls for the Dominica Labour Party, is expected to reveal the results of his latest poll soon.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;A much ado about nothing&#8221;.
