After Mia, who?

← Back

Dr. Ronnie Yearwood, DLP leader
Minister Santia Bradshaw, deputy BLP leader

The late Errol Walton Barrow died in 1987, 36 years later the political party he founded, one of two main parties that have dominated the political landscape- the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), continues the struggle to ‘find’ itself. On the other side of the political fence the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) is led by the personage of Mia Mottley whose style has endeared her to the local and international community.

There is the suggestion Prime Minister Mia Mottley will elect not to offer herself as a candidate in the next general election. Political pundits again suggest that were this to occur the BLP will likely find itself in a similar state to compare to the DLP. From where the blogmaster is perched there is no obvious successor to Mottley. Some say Santia Bradshaw is being groomed, others are of the mind leaders emerge, a lazy premise if the blogmaster were to opine.

Who is the BLP leader in waiting?

    There are no end of traitors in black face who would exploit the knowledge they have of you to terrorize, abuse, harm, damage, injure, harass, and use many attempts to bring down socially and murder you for self gain…all for the opportunity to be top Slave….the traitor niga…

    We have a very bad situation on our hands….always had it in the last 100 years and most of us, never knew.

    The only thing i had going for me is the instinct to stay alive.

    Pacha…am trying to tell them their lack of knowledge of history and self places them in very grave danger from the parliament niga…they better find out who they are pronto before that knowledge is weaponized….and used to…

    Has rassssoul Mia Mottley ever been under the supervision of the people?

    ^_^
    Never ever yet in she rassssoul life, but this blogmaster always trying to have us believe otherwise.

    Thankfully we have people around like Theo, Skinner, Pacha and the original Bush Tea still willing to set the record straight on Mia.

    Here is the fact, Barbados like many democracies operate a two party system. In the case of Barbados we have seen with the demise of Barrow how a weak political party (DLP) has negatively affected how we govern. Whether we like it or not Mottley has endeared herself to the people at home and beyond. IF she decides to move on from the role of PM (which would shatter the dictator argument) where is the opportunity for the public to encourage change given the structure that is part of a deep rooted political system?

    It is a more worthwhile conversation to have instead of taking potshots at a blogmaster whose only wrong is to give members an opportunity to share their views.

    You may have the last word.

    @David, there is quite a bit that can be unpacked from your 11:14 post…😎🤦‍♂️

    Bundling two points together (to make a quick summary) I would suggest to you that “IF she decides to move on from the role of PM” that it would NOT “shatter the dictator argument” … rather in fact it could more forcibly reinforce it … if one accepts your other remark that ” the demise of Barrow” gave us a glimpse of “how … weak [a] political party (DLP) [was]”!

    There are much more astute political gurus here (like @Vincent, William, BushGriot and the Pacha dude to name four top of mind) who can speak to the concept you hinted at above … but I believe history has shown us that the truly powerful political leader who steps off the throne when still in an ascendency is the one who can ‘dictate’ a successor and remain behind the scenes to bolster their mentee’s long term success.

    If this lady steps off now then WHO steps in and their future growth will determine exactly how much of an all powerful ‘Mugabe’ she is!

    On other point above, one can only laugh uproariously at the comment: “Heard President Xi, no darling of the West, public stating his intention to continue his work “under the supervision of the people” as is law and praxis.”

    Again, I am not an expert student of Chinese politics but the tad bit I know related to the carefully choreographed Party Congress (not annually or every 2 years, mind you) completely makes a joke of the sentiment that Xi or Mao before him or any of the other Supreme Leaders were so wonderfully under the ‘supervision of the people’!

    Indeed, and yes quite less so than Mottley is or that Barrow ever was actually!

    Their system is complex (via their various regional representations etc and up to the Politburo) but quite amazingly simple when one understands the intrigue and subterfuge!

    Ah well … that’s politics!

    Merely moving on can never “shatter” any label about Barbados as a dictatorship.

    Under all the leaders this was so. Even when numbers of both sides were near equal is was a dictatorship masquerading as something else.

    The Greeks and the Romans saw dictatorship as an institution. A culture deeply rooted within the very fabric of their uncivilizatiion.

    Those who posit this specious argument will now have to line up their childish pleadings and tell the blog based on the origins of dictatorship how that act about moving on deals with the history of strong man elected dictatorship in Barbados, as an established system, the political culture.

    How would it stop another Mottley or Barrrow or Arthur personality from emerging and being another dictator like Mottley? Especially when her masters in the empire have always preferred dictatorships in their colonies.

    For years several people here and indeed the political science literature was replete with critiques about this fiction of a multiparty democracy. And in almost every case it is shown to be a duopoly.

    All a duopoly is is the pretence that political purality exist. When in truth and in fact nearly all the duopoly systems in the world, maybe on Mars toooooo, are captives of the economic elites. The most political parties so located can do is to beguile foolish people with the marketing, personality cultism, emotionalism, that there are differences or distinctions were none exist. When in truth and in fact none exist beyond the surface.

    Indeed, the people of Barbados are uniquely located within the political culture of the world. From memory, Barbados may be the only place in the entire universe where an elected dictator has won all the seats in the parliament twice in a row. That number could be increased as well. The people themselves, by their very actions of electing Mottley twice with 100 percent of the parliament, have proven and agreed with the dictatorship characterisation, as true, beyond doubt.

    But elected dictatorship is merely a half way house. This regime in Barbados, like its masters in Washington, and based on the classical definition of fascism, may be more precisely so described. The classical definition of fascism is the merger of the power of political and economic elites. We suggest that Barbados meets the requirements of such a definition.

    Prove it ain’t so!!!!!!

    Lastly, the primary defender of the dictator Mottley should tell the blog what other expresions do the people of Barbados can exhibit, in the running of their affairs, on a daily basis. Let’s forget about voting once every 5 years and running down behind politicians like assholes.

  11. Pachamama Avatar
    Pachamama

    Lastly, we’ll wager that like any benevalent dictator, Mottley will be “prevailed” upon to run again.

    All the injection of doubt will do is to create such conditions. That post like this thread is doing.

    And this Blog will then be backing the factuous arguments why she must run again. They will be an assorment of arguments about unfinished business, beating Barrow’s and Arthur’s record and on and on.

    Wait and see. Sayeth the political soothsayer!

    No pun intended!

    It was David Thompson who went to see a friend and colleague of this writer at the height of the political power of Owen Arthur.

    That friend, a jovial chap, asked Thompson what he was trying to do as leader of the opposition against Arthur.

    Thompson replied “become prime minister neh”.

    Our friend, looking for levity in every moment replied – “yeh planning to kill Arthur?” 😅😅😅😅😅😅

    Such is the nature of elected dictatorship in Barbados.

    We have decades where maybe 170 world nations are running around talking shiiite about democracy.

    And in nearly every case, decade after decade, politicians go and politicians come, but none of the serious problems faced are ever addressed, solved.

    Then these assholes will talk about holding politicians to account. A job which is impossible for people without resources, time and structure to do.

    So the people who come and beg for votes in the election season must now be run down to get a road fixed. This is the shiiite of holding politicians to account. What about the guillotine?

    -Moved from third world status to Global trade, sport, cultural, science, and political dominance

    -China is now perhaps the World’s premier CREDITOR nation

    -etc etc

    …and they did all this WITHOUT the systemic rape and EXPLOITATION of Black brass bowls’ slave labour and resources.
    …AND without heavy handed military bullying forays across the damn World.

    Quick Summary

    Demo comes from Greek word demos people. Thus, words with the word root demo- either refers to people or to population. Let’s have a look at the word democracy, which is a form of government, where people elect their rulers.

    The Greek root word crat means “rule,” and the English suffix -cracy means “rule by.”

    “Chicago-style politics” is a phrase which has been used to refer to the city of Chicago, regarding its hard-hitting sometimes corrupt politics.

    Talk about “democracy,

    And the masters in Washington can’t get enough.

    A colour revolution instigated by Washington in Georgia, the country on Russia”s border.

    In the USA they have the foreign agents registration act. The Georgian parliament passed a law making registration of all NGOs getting more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad, for mandatorily register. And for three nights now, all hell brek loose.

    The thing is that most of Europe, the USA and any other self respecting country has such laws. But the leading socalled democracy, currently as weak as a spider’s web, want to open another war front on Russia, in desperation. Getting another bunch of assholes to shed blood for them.

    That socalled leading democracy, to which Mottley is an ardent supplicant, wants to fight Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, all at once. As if they faking it until they make it. The truth is that in conventional war they cannot beat anyone of them. Collectively, its a no- brainer!

    But in the case of Georgia, which is no friend to Russia, one simply has to make the unfounded argument that Russia supports such a law to have throngs of Russia-phobes destroy downtown Tbilisi.

    Pacha already spoke about the
    Etymology ..the root of the word..yall are speaking English words and have no idea how they are rooted..

    Latin, greek and portugues all three, have the word rooted in demonic connivance, the greek and latin were known to share these crimes amongst each other…they were tag teams in those regions where they kick started colonies, raiding, robbing, pillaging, kidnapping, enslaving and sequestering populations millennia ago and they practiced witchcraft and numerous other demonic rituals.

    .i repeat, none of us have perfect ancestors….the roman catholic vatican, just like the greek and portugyes are criminal frauds..

    @BushGriot, come on brother please don’t sell me ‘red herrings’ when I asked about salmon …

    I never said that the Chinese leadership was not “serving” it’s citizens’ needs well … no siree!

    The comment I laughed at was that the leaders were “under the supervision” of their citizens. Your excellent summary says absolutely nothing to affirm that.

    @David, yes : “Really”!

    Brother, leadership is fundamentally very, very simple and the form of government – which you obviously KNOW- does nothing to affect that when it comes right down to the FUNDAMENTAL characteristics of a dominant leader ….

    All of them (Putin, Xi, Barrow, Tom and his father, Mia, Manley, Seaga, de Gaulle, Hitler etc) are essentially A-type personalities that combined intellect (academically and /or street smarts) and a forceful, ambitious, competitive, high desire for outstanding achievement despite all obstacles attitude along with a ruthless, suffer-no-fools-adversarial approach to life.

    I am not going to get into discourse of type of leaders nor styles as that’s an endless waste of time when debating their political levels of success; suffice to say that as you know very well ALL stand-out political leaders regardless of ideology are built of and from a very similar mould!

    The Greeks developed no alphabet of their own. It was the Phoenicians from whom their borrowed the alphabet. And the Phoenicians got theirs from Ancient Egypt or Kemet.

    Without an alphabet no learning as we know it could happen. And if they are borrowing an alphabet, second hand, is it not possible that with linguistic, intellectual and writing, coming with the tradition might have been governance systems as well. For these were developed by the developers of the alphabet thousands of years before.

    How could it be possible for a people without an alphabet not all other social development indicators could, out of all whole clothe, develop governance systems without borrowing?

    Have to check its history beyond the Greeks.

    Doctors take an oath to a Greek called Hippocrates.

    This is just a single example. But we can say the same thing for all the sciences.

    Nobody knows about the real father of medicine, Imhotep.

    And we have the evidence, the techno-complexes to support these arguments.

    We have evidence of Socrates saying that Greek education was “pig food”. How could such a system create excellence in any field. The Greeks boasted about being schooled in Kemet.

    Connect the dots.

    Generally, it will be difficult to accept any established narrative as true about the Greeks.

    The evidence tends to show that all their socials systems, their gods, the sciences, and everything else foundational was borrowed.

    Mia managed to do a quick in-out in Bajan politics without being accused of corruption, if she was more radical she would have been assassinated like Saddam and Gaddafi, if Barbados was more powerful economically they would have been targeted as a threat by the West like Russia and China.

    This thing called Democracy is just a show for the people

    Ooh-ah

    I still need a drink, put all the glasses in the sink
    From chasin’ a shot that rang through hell
    For the record, I’m fine with what’s left of what’s mine
    I almost took you by mistake for someone else

    You’re just a wild guess in a see-through dress
    I don’t wanna hear you squealin’ up my drive
    It took guts to think that I would buy that wink
    But that little thing you do, just stay right

    Than to be with
    (More fun to kiss)
    Than to be with
    (More fun to miss)
    Than to be with

    Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
    Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
    Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

    You’re still at the night, upside down and upright
    It must be how your little mind gets fair
    Now, do I shoot straight or do I cheat, babe?
    Oh, it does a number on my head

    But I don’t pull tricks
    Last time I hit a lick
    Was when I heard the church bells chiming
    You’d be just as fun as a jammed-up gun
    Another shot, it’s just the wrong place and time

    Than to be with
    (More fun to kiss)
    Than to be with
    (More fun to miss)
    Than to be with

    Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
    Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
    Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
    Ooh-ah

    You’ll be more fun to miss
    (Than to be with)
    You’ll be more fun to kiss
    (Than to be with)
    You’ll be more fun to miss
    (Than to be with)
    You’ll be more fun to miss

    La, ah
    Ah, ah-ah
    La, ha
    Ah-ah

    Mottley, Macron in talks on working together
    Greater access to credit, manageable debt repayment structures and an equitable transition to a low-carbon world are some of the matters on the agenda of Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley and President of France Emmanuel Macron.
    Those talking points were highlighted after the two met in Paris yesterday.
    “The president and Prime Minister discussed the first promising proposed solution which builds on solutions both initiated by France and advanced by the G20 in recent years, and the ambitious and innovative proposals of the Bridgetown Initiative, led by Barbados,” stated a press release from the Prime Minister’s Office yesterday.
    “The aim is to address urgent liquidity needs through the greater sharing of IMF (International Monetary Fund) Special Drawing Rights, enlarged access to rapid credit facilities, more sustainable debt treatment, generation
    of the investment needed for greater economic and social resilience, and the just transition to a low-carbon world.”
    It added: “The two leaders strongly support a substantial increase in lending by the World Bank and other multilateral development banks, a far greater direction of private capital to developing countries, through new instruments, and debt sustainability rules that better fit the global realities of the 21st century.”
    Mottley’s visit to Paris follows COP 27 last November and the historic visit of France’s Minister of State for Development and International Partnerships, Franchophonie Chrysoula Zacharopoulou to Barbados in February.
    Zacharopoulou became the first French minister to visit Bridgetown on official business.
    Macron and Mottley also discussed the preparation
    of the Summit For A New Global Financial Pact, planned for June 22 and 23 in Paris and which seeks to lay the foundations of a more responsive, just and inclusive international financial system. (TG)
