The blogmaster apologises for not matching the excitement of some in response to the announcement by Prime Minister Mia Mottley that general elections will be held on February 11, 2026.
One question for the people – what will we be voting for?

Your circular arguments lack logic, wisdom, and everything else.
You must know that the DLP can do no better than the BLP. At least recent history, known well to you, tells us that.
Indeed, if your own conclusions are correct, and they are, we should expect this DLP to do even worse than the BLP.
This is illogical, for after such a conclusion, what even minimalist logic can there be for doing shiiite, like voting to punish somebody?
This sequence will answer nothing but give you an apparent pyrrhic victory for s short time after your ballot is casted. For your only source of power lies in not voting, the only means you have for civil disobedience against an unworkable, corrupted system.
And, what happens next?

There is not every scenario a principled can be applied. In fact to proceed on a principled basis requires elements of practical approaches? It is never black or white, it is never always zero sum.

@ Bush Tea,
I see that your man, Minister of Foreign Affairs Kerrie Symmonds, has had plenty to say about the upheavals in the world. Amongst all this talk, he has not been transparent. He has refused to say whether or not Barbados has caved into USA demands to accept the worse of the worse.
These idiots in government continue to treat yourself, Artax, Donna, et al. like toddlers.
We allowed Trinidad, Jamaica, and now Guyana to take hegemony over our economy. All three nations are aligned with those terrible Yankees who are egged by you know whom.
There’s no longer a need for Mia to usher in a new constitution. Quite clearly, our island is not and has never been a republic.
Expect neighbouring France to play an ever greater role in the life of Barbados and Barbadians. It would make sense for Mia to reach out to France and recognise that as a nation we need to pair up with Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Marten, and by extension France. All three Caribbean countries have issues with France. However, we should establish some form of memorandum of understanding with France in order to broaden our options at the expense of reducing ties with Jamaica or Trinidad.

Please listen to the words from Gonzales. Do not accept Trump’s poison chalice.

Remember the hurricane in Puerto Rico and how Trump treated Puerto Ricans?
From that, do you actually think that he gives a hoot about Caribbean people?
Guyana has first class oil and Venezuela volume of lesser quality.
It is about resources and only a dullard would think otherwise.
The rest of the islands, even Trinidad are nothing to Trump.
Trinidad is just the most convenient jump off point with infrastructure to the extent that is needed, as Guyana’s infrastructure has a long way to go.
These islands need to assess alternatives.

Prosperous 2026 to you as well.
I’ll allow the “pitbull dog” comment go over my head, as insults/pejorative remarks seem to be ‘go to’ strategy for UK residents when confronted.
I’ve noticed you have a penchant for making certain comments, and presenting irrelevant articles or YouTube videos as a juxtaposition, and to make certain extreme assumptions, with some self perceived ‘intellectual superiority.’
That you also seem comfortable approaching every topic relating to Barbados with ‘worst case scenario thinking.’
Catastrophising…… IMAGINING the worst outcome possible, even if it’s unlikely.You clearly implied that Mottley unilaterally decided to accept ‘illegal migrants’ into Barbados perhaps as a means of increasing the population by 80,000.
It’s clear you’ve ‘employed your imagination’ in that scenario. You provided an article as evidence, then began your comments with a particular observation that is specific and limited in scope, and proceeded to form a generalised conclusion that you perceive to be possible, but in actuality highly unlikely.
The article you presented suggested otherwise.
Rather than acknowledge that fact and move on, you decided to ‘double down’ and ‘talk’ about using one’s imagination.
Bear in mind, I’m not against anyone “employing his/her IMAGINATION” to reach whatever he/she may believe is a logical conclusion.
Unfortunately, however, ‘SOMETIMES’ people allow their IMAGINATION to ‘run wild,’ allowing for UNREALISTIC or EXTREME ideas to flourish.
I, on the other hand, prefer to use evidence-based, informed ‘IMAGINATION’, as the basis to reach a logical conclusion.
