The DLP Must Go Now: “Man Call The Election” Part II

Austin

The DLP had a meeting in St. Michael for five constituencies and it is reported that only 130 persons attended total for all five constituencies. Now compare that to the BLP Dwight Sutherland’s St. George South Branch meeting held on Sunday the 25th March at St.Luke’s Brighton Skills Training Centre which featured Opposition Deputy Leader Dale Marshall and former political leader Mia Mottley where over 100 persons attended.

What is happening in St. George South is beginning to happen all over Barbados as the election grows near, finally the people of St. George South will get the kind of representation they deserve in these challenging times from its BLP candidate Dwight Sutherland.  Dr. Suckoo has “not” served the people of St. George South well, and she has done a “poor” job as Minister of Labour.    The labour force in Barbados and the people of St. George South want more that seeing their representative “cheesing in the newspaper every day” saying and doing absolutely nothing tangible for her constituency in St.George South, or bajan people.

Bajans are starting to see through the smoke screen of poor governmental leadership and under performance coming from the current DLP administration and does like Dr. Suckoo.  To make matters worse our nation is suffering from a “PM LEADERSHIP CRISIS” which no one is talking about but many Bajans know it, including some DLP supporters.  I call him the “Accidental PM”, which may be a good title for a book or movie after he is out of office, but in “these times” with “these challenges” PM Stuart is not the “one” to lead Barbados.

Fortunately, Bajans are beginning to understand that the current DLP has “NO” socio-economic strategic vision for Barbados, NONE AT ALL.  The DLP slogan of “they are trying to build a society” in the midst of an economic crisis is simply “pure nonsense”, and you don’t need to be an economist to know that (mark my words that slogan is going to come back to bit the DLP).  The best evidence to date of this lack of a strategic vision is the 2012-2013 Barbados Budget Estimates.  The DLP budget shows NO evidence of the kind of comprehensive fiscal vision needed to slow our growing national fiscal deficit, it does nothing to get government expenditures under control, and adversary impacts economic growth.

    @millertheanunnaki I “liked” your suggestion re the tax break. Now that is real intellectual and creative stimulation. I can mention it to my colleagues. And keep mentioning it. Killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
    @Islandgal246 I am sorry you feel that way. I know we have the Integrity In Public Life done – I sat on the Governance Committee that would have gone through it before it was forwarded to Cabinet and I can assure you our team was 100 per cent in favour. I am sure you know what happened when it was laid in parliament? As far as the cost of living is concerned,last week I said that the cost of living is not restricted to items on shop shelves and I outlined all the areas where the Government had applied ease to peoples’ pockets. But I agree more has to be done. Question is where? I do believe we need a concerted all out assault on our imported food bill and move from there.We have acres of arable land in the rural areas running to bush but would buy fruit and veggies at obscene prices. That’s another blog in itself and I am rushing out.
    As far as the election goes, if you examine each candidate from the DLP and the rival from the BLP you will be able to garner a more accurate picture of what will happen in the next election. I keep saying the next election will not be a B or D election. Bajans will be voting individuals; voting for whom they think will truly REPRESENT them. I trod the streets and I listen. And Barbadians are not repeating what I hear one or two hacks on the blogs saying. I have heard them echo your sentiments, but they also say they are afraid of the “other people”. No lie. They feel things are hard yes, but believe things will get better. What they are pretty adamant about is the frittering away of gains; money. They get cruel about that. Gotta go!

    But Senator, with respect, the nature of the beast is that we live in a Prime Ministerial Dictatorship. It has never mattered who represented whom, surely people see this, and is this not why it matters so much who leads the party in an election?

    Finding solutions to the problem of the abandoned elderly needed a project approach with a small group determined to research and act. It took two years to get to this stage and we had to follow through on this along with everything else we do.

    Two years to allocate $244,000.00 to outfit two wards to house 40 abandoned elderly, but less than a year to put $300,000 and $500,000 into football and cricket memorial tournaments respectively? What civil servants what? The Senator needs to wheel and come again!!.

    @ !
    But it was the DLP led by the late PM Thompson that declared the days of consultants were over. The demagoguery practiced by the DLP to win the last election continues to be a thorn in its side: cost of living higher, agricultural land still being changed and no promised legislation in place, coastal development continues and consultants all across government.

    Onions and miller have all the answers but where were your voices before it is obvious that your political agenda has gotten in the way of confronting a longstanding problems which started long before the DLP took office where was all the outcry then and hence keep calling for the DLP to do it all in four years is ridiculous when the BLP had forteen years to care of issues such as elderly care.

    What long standing problems we left babes ???
    Seems like you all GOT YOUR HANDS filled this morning …to be wishing we had left long standing problems…I guess we left these here too nah..

    Alexandra Dispatch,the ‘CLICO Bonnie n Clyde’ the Knights closings,the International Business up and runnings,The Walmer Lodge miss-givings(,FTC), The FourSeasons Persuads,The BL&P-NIS emeras lodgings, the Round-a bout and Templar misunderstandings and now the Neal and Massey unforgivings (Almond )……we still have about 8 months to go… so adequate time for more to float up and add to the list.

    People all over Barbados are fed up with this nampy-pampy Government. People are poorer. Cost of living is out of control, and we have a PM who is totally clueless about everything.
