And this is why they are going to vote LPM!

If people were rational and logical, they would be choosing from just two parties, the SLP and the LPM.

The members of cabinet in the ruling party are clearly NOT fit for public office.

Some members have given the population very bad examples for the youth to follow, by their efforts to cheat the Customs Department.

The members of the entire cabinet shows too, that they are not fit to serve. They colluded to allow one other member to rob the state by giving duty free concessions. That was struck down by Tuxedo Affair ruling.

Another UWP cabinet member again, under oath and before an Appeals Court, said that he was NOT present at a Cabinet meeting to grant his colleague duty free concessions. Imagine that. At such a very important meeting associated with your ministry, you fail to realize that you were present? The appeals court found that less than acceptable.

The current administration members repeated have IGNORED the conventions that make for good governance. When a matter under discussion has some impact on your welfare, you have to absent yourself from the discussions. These UWP ministers flout this rule every time. So there is always an issue of conflict of interest being discussed IN THE PRESENCE of a minister as beneficiary to the outcome of those discussions.

The SLP on the otherhand, has mismanaged funds time and time again. To date, it has NOT said what measures it would put in place to stop it being a drain on the treasury. The last PM under the SLP was so aweful that he gave away $45 million dollars to complete strangers and got no assets for that amount of money in return.

Now look at the websites of the two parties, the SLP and the LPM. The website of the SLP under 'Where We Stand' with their programmes and proposals, looks like type-written notes of a first-year university student.

Compare that with the one by the LPM. There you will find a conversation with the reader on what the LPM intends to do and why. You will also find with those proposals concrete and meaningful objectives aimed at our women, the youthful population, and all able-bodied persons who want to work.

Strategies on crime, education, cutting out wasteful spending, creating an entrepreneurial class of top managers including our women, are all there.

The choice for St. Lucians have never, IMHO ever been that clear. The LPM has my vote this time. They deserve yours too.
