SLP's leadership has NEVER EVER come to terms with is blundering leadership's decisions and faltering decision making. Knowing full well that it has the abundant faith of low information processing followers, the leadership and the rank and file take it for granted that they can do and say anything.
They are guaranteed a block votes by their STEP hangers-on to swallow everything uttered like guppies, hook, line and sinker.
With an opportunity to find another sensible place to live where idiots do not so much populate the high places, I believe that younger Saint Lucians would bolt for the exit gates in droves and never to return.
SLP's leadership and membership hierarchy behaviour, time and again underscore the expanding vacuity of ideas to turn around this economy.
Bereft of any deep knowledge of either business, banking, economics or management, the SLP stubbornly persist on rehashing failed foolish policies, presenting those in new wrappings. You see, even the Chinese know something about making some aspects of capitalism work.
Instead, Saint Lucia's SLP flaunts and touts its profound admiration for Cuban-style communism.
Clearly, this development evidences systemic and systematic cleverness and deceit, rather than any kind of profound working knowledge or any conscious attempt at converting the decades of shameless obviously empty rhetoric into any semblance of good governance.
The fatal personnel and domestic realities are beginning to bite, but will take a much longer time unfortunately, to really sink in.
Thanks Ms Parle. But even Mainland China knows how to use the US Apple company.
Printers' devils in today's Voice? What's up with the font?! We paid $2 for something that's illegible. Standards, people. Standards.
I watched her speech and I so wish that she was the PM today!
Berthia's delivery was impressive. She emphasized the "stockpile mentality" of successive administrations. Studies and reviews are conducted, consultants hired and economic councils established, only to have their findings adorn the dusty shelves of the public service.
Nothing changes. We take great pride in examining problems, but fail to implement appropriate resolutions. We keep doing the same things expecting different results.
Nothing on CFL's takeover of GL Food Market? The truth is whether Chastanet had stepped in or simply allowed GL to go under, the result would be the same--a virtual monopoly (Glace Supermarket notwithstanding). This is not ideal for consumers, but big fish, small pond--only the strong and adaptable survive.
No one at GL realized they were using the wrong business strategy for the time? In the midst of a global recession, why enter a monopolized market aiming to cater to a high end niche? Where's the logic?! Even studies conducted on the Walmart customer base concluded that even the wealthy resort to the cost leader during tough times.
Exhibit A--Digicel: penetrate with low prices, decimate your competition, build customer loyalty and then change strategy to improve price points. With low product turnover, GL didn't stand a chance.
Really Berthia? I am Not impressed. Who exactly you're talking to? And on whose behalf you're talking?
With low margins as obtains in the supermarket business, you need high inventory turnover to survive.
That lady was solid.
She displayed greater insights than all the males doing their usual blathering and bleating, both voted in and nominated, that are in place, or have gone on before her, both dead and alive.
That's why women are better leaders, they have empathy and are smarter than the cavemen in this world today.
Oh, the GL logic: 'We can beat this decades-old "monopoly" by having higher prices. At the height of a recession, too. Eureka!' Fast-forward three years and they're begging the competition to buy them. The usual period of comparative study is five to ten years, but they bailed much earlier.
A couple options the company may have considered: change business strategy, change product lines or change suppliers, reduce inventory to minimize risk/loss, and implement more targeted promotions. Having someone yelling into a blowhorn does not count as effective use of psychographics. It does not enhance the customer experience--especially if you're trying to be the Rolls Royce of supermarkets. This only creates an atmosphere of annoyance and anxiety.
Those of us who have enough intelligence to discern it would have seen that the lady broke with convention -- our cultural acceptance and cheering of formal speeches loaded with the usual useless platitudes and unalloyed crap.
We got unusual insights!
What a refreshing change! And these did not come in the form of formal parrot recitations, with native-like parrots all dressed up in various designs of badly fitting monkey suits.
I like you, above...so true your viewpoint; "...native-like parrots all dressed up in various designs of badly fitting monkey suits."....CLASSIC.
True, true, true, your observations.
I missed Mrs Parle's contribution however what little I did hear I was impressed.
Where are the Tourism numbers coming from ? The Reality is far different?
I see Alan has made his contribution in your article he just loves the subject of airlift,paying for flights to SLU is wrong it should be driven on Market demand not on how deep the island Governments pockets are.
Its a pity he is not learning but sticking to the same old same old.
Allen may have an MBA. But there are MBAs and there are other MBAs.
An obvious recognition deficit is any appreciation of the VALUE ADDED concept.
If an activity does NOT add value in the creation of a product or service it should be dropped. No ifs. No buts. No maybes.
This management concept is apparently totally lost on our high-office holders in government -- parliamentary and otherwise. Or else, we would not be so constantly bombarded, ad nauseam, with such repetitious container-loads of unadulterated formal crap being parroted in MPs' speeches and civil service briefings.
Leading a country requires much more than being able to stand on a political platform and shout into a microphone, making fun and mud-slinging your opponent. In SLU that's what our so-called leaders are famous for.
This woman is part of the problems. She never saw it fitting to speak before, only now she is, right!
Is it because your bottom line is being interfered with, Mrs Parle?
Well, deal with it. I am a ma-la-way, it has always being hard for me.
Millenials do NOT have time for foolish comments like what's above. Such is considered standard fare from the platforms of both parties and from the mouths of our very many country bookie politicians.
Some of the utterances of the believed-to-be males suggest that some may be deceitful cross dressers in public.
I wish to point to just two articles written by the LPM as well as their consistency on economy and international affairs that is crippling Saint Lucia –to which that have tabled numerous practical solutions.
As well as the amount of ridicule the LPM received at the time for their foresight and understanding of the issues.
LPM Says Embassies and Consulates Are Bankrupting Saint Lucia - http://www.stlucianewsonline.com/lpm-says-embassies-and-consulates-are-bankrupting-saint-lucia/
and Saint Lucia on wrong track
http://www.stlucianewsonline.com/saint-lucia-on-wrong-track-says-political-party-2/
Now all is coming to light.
Just thought I should point out the reality.
Thanks Guys!!
Not impressed. Bunch of crap. She is speaking for the clique/elite group money making/ eye dredging of the rank-and-file people on this island.
That's all they care about, making money at all cost and by whatever means necessary; on the backs of the mar-lay-way.
GO TO HELL, if you please.

That was so narrow-minded. I guess that this idiot and low-information processor could not understand half of what was being said.
Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise.
Only country bookies have that kind of intelligence and education to criticize the messenger and to ignore the message in totality.
But after all, with so many idiots creeping on their hungry bellies as political yard fowls looking for falling crumbs in Saint Lucia, this is not at all strange. Saint Lucia is idiot country!
Our large country bookie population, fully and well represented by an equally large contingent of country bookie ministers knows no better. When better will not be done, worse will continue.
Anything or anybody Michael Chastanet highlights. Look out. Nothing good is behind it.
Low information processor? The person knows exactly what he is saying. Where was her speech when Stephenson King was there.
