The political temperature is rising in Barbados as both political parties gear up for a general election due by early 2013. The contest is expected to be one of the most interesting for many reasons. On the BLP side there is Owen Arthur who led the country during a period of economic prosperity. On the DLP side there is Fruendel Stuart who finds himself in the role because of the death of David Thompson.
This is an unscientific poll by BU to test how the wind is blowing.

@ac
in true inimitable style you missed my point.
you can’t condemn BLPites based on their lack of proffered answers now, if, given the past 4 years the DLP has not enacted the majority of its own promised solutions from its 2008 manifesto. Far from that they’ve acted in ways that some persons feel “hurt” and they’ve had to contend with (or lumber through) challenge after challenge and problem after problem, some of their own making.
You need to find a better argument to persuade voters than “dem ain’t bring solutions so don’t vote for for dem”. Solutions come during the campaign. We all know this. In the absence of solutions a record is used to judge. Based on a record capability is established. Based on capability people make up their minds. Who can they trust (not as a person), but to lead the country effectively. the DLP’s difficulty is that after 14 years in opposition, the DLP now has a record to compare, which some consider as “wary” as the BLP
