Owen S Arthur is good for the DLP. He has done so many politically expedient things for the political existence of the DLP, my fellow bloggers, that words can’t even begin to explain. His self centered maniacal attitude, has laid to waste development in his own party. Single handedly Mr Arthur has tarnished, if not destroyed his own legacy, in Barbadian politics. Never, has so little, been done so fast, to destroy so much. Follow me here, A politician infused with new ideas, does not regurgitate geriatric political concepts. Power being the only thing that satifies man, Mr Arthur will decimate his own BLP party, to elevate himself, and his minions. The irony of all of this, would be for Owen to be the only seat, given to the BLP in 2013, poetic justice indeed. Then perhaps, Barbados can be rid of the hypocritical tantalization, of Mr Arthur. I am no political fan of Ms Mottley, I do feel as if she was mistreated and disrespected. To me, there’s something wrong with bullies like Owen Arthur. The bajan in me always wants to fight back when I see someone being bullied and disrespected. Mr Arthur should have the decency, to retire and go play golf, or to sit back and salivate when those young St James girls pass by his house on their way to the beach.

I hear the DLP yardfowls harping that Owen Arthur did nothing for 14 years, if this is true is it Arthur to be blamed or the electorate. Are you saying that bajan voters were stupid? Let’s face it the DLP were in shambles for a long time after the death of Errol Barrow. Let’s learn from our mistakes and don’t return to the same situation now with the death of David Thompson. When the wonders of David Thompson’s death is over the sniper within the party will come out gunning, P.M Stuart has to stamp his authority on his government and mash a few corns if it is needed, the problem he only has a 2 year grace period to stamp his brand on his government. Maybe he can start with the way he reshuffles his cabinet, which he must to make himself responsible for more as P.M since the late P.M has released himself from everything except Defence and Security.

By selecting Mrs. Mara Thompson as the candidate for St. John, the DLP can create history, honour the late PM Thompson, preserve his legacy, empower women and help the poor and the vulnerable across Barbados. HERE IS HOW!

It will be the first time (to my certain knowledge) that the wife of a Prime Minister who died in office, in the service of Barbados – would replace her late husband in order to serve the people he loved dearly and continue the work he started in their interest and on their behalf. THAT IN ITSELF IS HISTORY.

Once Mrs. Thompson wins with an increased majority, that will show that there is really no clamour for Owen Arthur who will chalk-up his second in a seriers of loses for the BLP.

Owen Arthur says that there is a clamour for him but everybody knows it is a clamour of one (Owen for Owen)

Mrs. Thopmson could then be made Deputy Prime Minister, thereby elevating WOMEN, and would be PM Stuart ultimate tribute to her and her late husband. That in itself would be histiry, since it would be the highest rank the DLP has ever confered on a woman in representational politics.

PM Stuart could then make her either Minister of Families, Youth Affairs of Sports or Minister of Social Care. The earlier fits in well with the late PM’s ‘family first’ legacy and his work on behalf of the youth as well as her role and work with young people also, while the latter allows her to minister to the needs of the poor, elderly and persons with disability across Barbados.

Her care and compassion and unifying force would be felt across Barbados and she will the the feminine touch the DLP might feel it needs.

Mara Thompson is the woman the DLP needs. But elevating her would serious anger Owen Arthur and his wild-boys-gang-of-five, who intend to destroy ALL women, starting with Mia Mottley, Liz Thompson and Cynthia Forde.
