You mean you'll don't want those symbols handed down to St Lucia from times of salvery? LOL
Well we are going to see aobut that. St Lucia still belongs to the Queen. Learn to respect that!
Why is the PM involved with this? Isn't first the interpretation of the relevant law the first line of attack on this?
I can understand why the PM is involve. Parlaiment alone has the power to reverse or amend. I think they are right to pursue this thing from that angle.
Do you believe that Mr. King would make it a priority to amend legislation, if that is the problem really, to benefit LPM, in the dog-eat-dog politics that we practice in St. Lucia.
What about telling us what part of the legislation which says that LPM cannot use a bell for its symbol? If this is so, then this to me would be highly undemocratic and the UWP and other governments have been unusually high-handed.
What we have seen happening time and time again is that our political immaturity is the driving force behind the leadership of the political parties, PhD or no PhD.
The leaders have consistently failed to rise above their narrow interests and have continuously and unscrupulously abandoned universal democratic principles in the process. Quit often, they may be following the letter and not the spirit of the law. But if in the short run it favours them, then that they will gleefully do. What they do quite often is not illegal but is highly unethical for the most part.
LPM should quote the relevant section of the law, highlighting the inequity. Otherwise, this sounds, up to now, like a nuisance complaint. LPM does not appear to have made its case forcefully, if at all.
This is news. I never knew that political parties could not chose any symbol they wanted too.
While I don't support this LPM party I agree that All parties should have the right to chose whatever symbol they wish.
This is call freedom of expression.
Is it news to you also, that past governments have been hiding how much they spend on the various ministries and projects when the budget debate is ended? Yes. This may be news to some. Only the figures that are placed in the budget get any attention. Compton did that. Kenny did that. King knows no better than to follow. Symbols in the control of government is a disgrace to a democracy but not a kleptocracy with all the cabinet's hands in the cookie jar.
