Barbadians Asleep at the Wheel

Democracy

Your message to the BLOGMASTER was sent

CONTACT THE BLOGMASTER ONLY

It says a lot about some commenters on the blog that the blogmaster has to defend a position which says – Barbadians are too docile and in the process ceded key responsibilities in our democracy to the political elite.

In any political science 101 class the student learns that along with basic responsibilities of citizens to obey laws, pay taxes etc, there are other weighty responsibilities for the democracy to function successfully. There is relevance in the expressions a people get the government it deserves and the price of democracy is eternal vigilance.

Elected officials in our system of government are suppose to be servants of the people. Anyone living in Barbados knows that citizens have allowed politicians to do as they like for too long. Consequently, we have seen the duopoly become entrenched with citizens voting for B or D based on the prevailing level of frustration when elections become due.

The blogmaster is sufficiently aware that Barbadians have been promised enactment of transparency laws to include; integrity and freedom of information legislation by the duopoly. Believe it or not the promise goes back to the administration of the late Prime Minister Tom Adams, more than 40 plus years ago. The blogmaster is sure we have had more public debate about a 20% increase in the excise tax on sweet drinks than the refusal by the duopoly to enact transparency laws to enhance our system of governance.  

Barbadians have allowed malfeasance to go unpunished by public servants. We have allowed the NIS to come under the microscope. We have tolerated moribund working committees of parliament established in our democracy to provide checks and balances. What have we done to demonstrate our disgust besides going to the polling booth in dwindling numbers every 5 years or something 3?

The blogmaster’s unfavourable appraisal of citizen participation in our democracy includes the media and other NGOs in civil society that are mandated to ACTIVELY represent the interest of citizenry. Barbadians cannot be satisfied with electing a government and remain passive until the next general election is called. The people we elect as well as we the citizens have clear responsibilities to ensure the a healthy democracy.

    Only a dishonest, disingenuous individual would make such a blatant attempt to ‘shift the goal post,’ and engaging in formal semantics to ‘save face,’ after incorrectly ‘saying’ Mottley holds the portfolio of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

    LOLLL … @Artax why are you debating a NON-point with the blogger @TSLN …

    For our entire lives in BAJAN politics the PM has held the Min of Finance portfolio almost ALWAYS … as memory serves it was not so when Dr. Haynes was the Min of Finance under Sandi.

    And to you @TSLN what exactly is the point you are making other than winding up a non-debate 🤣🤣

    @ dpD

    That’s exactly what it is, a “non point.”

    Whether or not the PM is Finance Minister or not, corruption in Barbados spans successive BLP and DLP administrations.

    Other than when Haynes, Thompson and Sinckler were MoF in the Barrow, Sandiford and Stuart administrations respectively, historically, all our PMs were MoF.

    Tom Adams, Bernard St. John, Errol Barrow and Owen Arthur were all Ministers of Finance.
    When former PM Thompson announced his Cabinet on January 19th 2008, he included himself not only as PM, but Minister of Finance, Economic Affairs and Development, Labour, Civil Service and Energy as well.

    To imply Barbadians should suddenly have an overwhelming amount of concern about corruption because a particular individual is PM and MoF, is ridiculous.

    But, he/she always makes those types of sly innuendoes.

    However, I agree with the argument that the PM should not hold the portfolio of Finance Minister as well.
    And, that is where the argument should be focused and discussed.

    My 10 years, my books, my magazines, my website, my warnings, my this, my that…… who criticise me, how tell me this and who tell me that…….

    Perhaps David should consider renaming BU the ‘WARU Show.’

    Yes @Artax, totally forgot about Thompson and Sinckler in addition to Haynes… by citing Haynes of longer ago I am surely ageing myself both in terms of where the memories drift back to and what is recalled…. ah well!

    But yes although I may also agree with “… the argument that the PM should not hold the portfolio of Finance Minister as well” we really have to always put politics in its LOCAL context.

    That is NOT a serious problem for our small economy just as it is absolutely unsustainable and contra all practical controls (and surely the law, I suspect) in a large nation like England.

    The blogger @TSLN was likely having some fun, I presume.

    i encourage others who are successful to share their happiness….isn’t it any wonder am so happy and never sour, the only things that bother me is Black people and their halfassed leaders who seem not to be able to get anything worthwhile or successful happening..

    ..maybe if they try to stop looking at others and focusing on being successful and giving each other a HANDUP…..to reach success…that would make a difference, i spend each day giving a little help here and there, they should try it, so fulfilling….

    Note that none of the apologists are asking about the Chief of Staff and what is his / or real function. They have not muttered one word about the Senior Ministers and the extra pay they are costing the treasury. They have been very silent on why the PM needs three ministers in her office.
    But, they want to pressure poor people to hold the government accountable.
    We still don’t know what the consultants are doing these. I recently read something about a Director of Commerce.
    The country needs to know what the Prime Minister’s Office is costing the taxpayers. Then we need to compare it to what that office cost the taxpayers under other Prime Ministers.

    you notice they don’t care and showing everyone exactly who and what they are, but think they can get intelligent people to regress to 1950s low standards in 2022….everyone is on to them..

    ..people just need to take control of their OWN LIVES…as they have been urged for years now, and let the sheeple and followers fall by the wayside where they belong…

    this new world order will deal with them, they have no clue what it portends, they werre too busy being petty and now it’s right upon them…….no turning back…

    ..we have our own new Black world order that is working just fine for us, they never wanted any part of it and can stay right where they are…….

    Has the blogmaster prevented you from making a submission on what concerns you?

    If all agree the duopoly has Barbados in a headlock, what is the purpose of comparing B to D? In 2018 MOTTLEY appointed the largest cabinet ever on the planet based on per capita, yet she was re-elected in 2021 with another 30-0 mandate. Do you get it yet? Who should we blame, MOTTLEY or the citizens.

    Ah but @David that’s really a trick question … the type if query that determines if one has been paying attention, not so!

    When u ask: “In 2018 MOTTLEY appointed the largest cabinet ever on the planet based on per capita, yet she was re-elected in 2021 with another 30-0 mandate. Do you get it yet? Who should we blame.
    MOTTLEY or the citizens”     … the answer can only be … THE DLP!

    Just saying … we the people really had absolutely NO option to possibly return the DLP.

    So that’s definitely not a fair question.

    Say it louder for those in the back. But the BU Cabal (many of them don’t even vote) have difficulties understanding #30-0. They are right and the large majority or Barbadian who voted TWICE for a mauling are wrong. Keep misreading the juggernaut. See it looking like the misreading Dems will remain peepers?🤣🤣

    @ Mr. Skinner

    At the risk of being accused of being ‘prosecutorial,’ coming on BU to ask those questions, will achieve what purpose?

    Over the years, I’ve read several contributions to BU, in which the authors asked pertinent questions and made interesting comments.

    I also noticed that Presidents of certain organizations and special interest groups only BECOME VOCAL when their ‘party is NOT in power.’
    When their party eventually holds the ‘reins of government,’ they are rewarded with ‘picks’ in the Senate under the guise they are representing persons with certain medical conditions, small businesses, ‘disabled community,’ etc.
    Shelly Weir, Lynette Holder and Kerry-Ann Ifill immediately comes to mind.
    Or on SOEs as Chairman or Board members.

    The status quo REMAINS the SAME to this day.

    BU is a discussion platform. What we NEED is ACTION.

    One idea is for people coming together to form NON-PARTISAN, special interest groups or civil society organizations…… that would play a significant role in holding government accountable.

    This initiative could also provide an opportunity for citizen groups and government working together to enhance the quality of public services delivered to Barbadians. Education, social services, health care, etc.

    Responsibilities could also include mandating government to immediately implement freedom of information, transparency and accountability legislation, which would ‘create the path’ for ‘good governance.’
    Committees, for example, could assist ‘government’ in developing and incorporating accountability mechanisms into governance structures to deal with corruption and mismanagement of government’s financial resources.

    Through civil society organizations, we could also question what is the importance of creating a position of Chief of Staff and its revelance to PM’s office.
    Why is there a need for Senior Ministers?

    Note, the Auditor General’s requests for additional staff, as indicated in his annual reports for the past 28 years or more, have continually gone unheard or purposely ignored.

    But, we seem to prefer coming on BU to brag about issues we raised, HOW MANY…years we were here, books and magazines we wrote, websites we developed……. and LAMENT about who DID NOT.

    The constitution sets out its own process for amendment and we cannot deviate from it. The commitment of the prime minister to transition Jamaica away from a constitutional monarchy is one that will be kept but I know persons are wondering whether we will have it done in time for the celebration of Jamaica 60,” said Legal and Constitutional Affairs Minister, Marlene Malahoo-Forte.

    “Unfortunately, the procedure set out in the constitution will not permit that timing to be met,” she told the post Cabinet news conference, noting that in order to remove deeply entrenched provisions from the constitution, specific steps must be followed, including notice periods that must be observed and a referendum that must take place.

    My comments were politically directed at all those who came here for nearly three years or more, on a daily basis finding all manner of faults in Stuart and Company. I also called for the removal of Stuart and company.
    However, many of these voices are now silent. The only person on this blog, who has consistently been just as vocal is @ Donna, who to her credit, continues to critically analyse the current administration. Angela Cole has also been very alert to the numerous short comings of Mottley and Company.
    There is now a deafening silence on BU and all the talk about good governance and accountability has basically vanished.
    While I agree that your suggestions are quite worthwhiIe, I was singularly calling out the partisans on BU.
    Fortunately for me, I was never fooled , but Stuart and Company had to go. It was by far the worst post independence administration with which we were ever settled.
    That’s why I stand by my position on the Bees . and Dees. Same shit, different day.

    You obviously are incapable of even trying to understand what I wrote. But I will be guarded ,and believe you are simply pretending that you don’t.
    This was not about Mottley per se. It is just about those , who came here pretending to be the greatest lovers Barbados ever had , but were only interested in getting rid of the Dems.
    Like I said I was never fooled . I wanted them out as well. Any major failure of the BLP or DLP is quite fine with me. On this same BU before the Mottley orchestrated fiasco , I said the Dems should not be given any seats in the senate. Check my posts you will find it.
    They , the BU’s love Barbados crowd, have gone silent because this administration , has artfully dodged two major potentially explosive scandals within a mere four years of governance.
    There is a lot of fancy footwork on BU now , but the deception , even by those who are still trying to fool people , that they are really interested in the country continues.
    Like I said to @ Artax, I am simply directing my focus on the BU lovers of Barbados who have disappeared , and those who have remained , but are still trying to beguile others . It’s the same shit but a different day.
    I go further ; they wrote under several aliases and flooded the blog. It was no doubt a skillful addition to the BLP’s brilliant campaign of 2018.
    When last have we been entertained with Dr. George Brathwaite’s, lengthy offerings on good governance. He was sent here primarily to promote the so-called Covenant of Hope. Why was social media almost violently attacked after the 2018 elections by the PM. She knew how it could be used because she used it to stunning effect and certainly fear that it could now be used against her .
    I can go no further for now.

    Haynes’ actions were revealed before the refusal to offer candidates in that election.
    You need to remember that he had refused to offer a candidate in the by election that many believe the NDP , would have had a chance to win or a. very strong showing.
    His calculation was that if the party had contested and won his leadership and hold on the party would have been usurped by the member of parliament. Now, that’s my opinion and it was shared by others .
    The decision to not contest that bye election infuriated the group that was brought into the party by David Commisiong and Trevor Prescod .Thats when the March to the BLP began, by the apparent leaders of the Pan Africanists.
    They had nowhere else to go. They had severed links with the Dems. Many political observers forget that Comissiong walked into the NDP and became its general Secretary. But that’s another story.

    Which Way must I go
    I choose to go the Wu Wei
    and walk Rastafari Way

    With Wu Wei, you simply let things happen in the way the natural order dictates, and they work out whatever way they need to. You may disagree or dislike the result and feel disappointed or resentful at the time. But in hindsight, you will likely realize the necessary path life took in that moment for you to be where you are, doing what you’re doing in the present. Even if you’d tried to end up in the same place on your own, you likely couldn’t have created a better path and might have even made mistakes along the way.

    There is no way to put the power of Wu Wei into academic terms or a category. It is simply what occurs when you follow the flow of life and your intuition. When things work out in the end, people will say you have psychic powers, but really you were simply sensitive to circumstances. The responsibility to make decisions shifts from you to the natural world. If you can accept what’s happening as the Way and not force your will or disappointment on it, you will learn how to be truly happy.

    Examples of Wu Wei for the Current Social Crisis

    If, as a collective people, we cannot turn our search for wisdom and contentment away from knowledge and cleverness and toward the natural order of things, we will suffer immensely. The great thinkers of the world have learned too much and lost compassion for others. Knowledge and cleverness have steered us away from reality because of the prominence given to information. We’ve all heard that “Knowledge is power,” and it’s true. Our powerful brains can think us into any idea or feeling we want.

    But what has this thinking been used for? Isn’t every decision in life aimed toward gaining more knowledge and power so we can feel stable and happy? With all that energy used for the wrong endeavors, how happy or stable do any of us feel?

    The people who will be successful in finding true wisdom and happiness are those capable of listening to their Inner Natures, being sensitive to circumstances, and allowing the natural flow of life to guide them. There are those who live this way now, and society tends to see them as anomalies or outliers of mainstream society. But these people are examples of what mainstream society has the ability to become if we stop manipulating the world around us.

    Each of us has the Clever Rabbit, Scholarly Owl, Negative Eeyore, and Simple Pooh inside. We typically give the rabbit and owl space to play until we become unsatisfied; then, we complain like Eeyore. This process leads to nothing useful.
