He is right about the environment. Too many people treat this country like a toilet.

Can you Imagine power hungry Allen Chastanet is plotting a coups d'état against the UWP leader of the opposition Hon Steven King in the middle of a national disaster and recovery?

According to Catherine Sealy’s Ro Ro machine Chastanet’s UWP held a an emergency meeting last Saturday morning at 11Am to remove Stephen King as opposition leader. At a New Year’s party Catherine was rejoicing that Hon Stephen King would be fired because he attended a meeting with Prime Minister Kenney Anthony without the political leader’s consent. Ms. Sealy’s went to say “by next week Allen Chastanet will present unscrupulous politician Guy Joseph to the office of the Governor General as the new leader of the opposition”.


If Catherine Sealy’s Ro Ro has any substance, this will validate and betrays the ignorance of Chastanet and his advisors concerning the role of Leader of the Opposition vis a vis the role of UWP party leader (which in comparison to the Constitutional position of Leader of opposition) is in the nature of a club leader!

Traditionally, the roles of party leader and leader of the opposition have always been vested on one person. However, Chastanet's greed for power caused a split in the positions and whilst he is party leader, Mr. King is leader of the opposition and there is clearly no cohesion between them. The Leader of the Opposition is a constitutional position and has nothing to do with party politics.

Chastanet is trying to bully Mr. King by "summoning" him to a meeting as if he is in a superior position to Mr. King.

Chastanet would do well to expose himself and his advisors to a crash course in the basic principles of Government and politics. He is suffering from a serious misconception of his role as party leader, which is of no more consequence than that of a Boy Scout troop leader. Chastanet does not understand that he is not an elected Member of Parliament, having being rejected by the majority of the people of Soufriere and as such has no voice where it really matters. He does not understand that Mr. King is in the superior position and he seeks to bully Mr. King into submission to his inferior role. If we think that Kenny Anthony is a dictator, I dare UWP supporters to elect Allen Chastanet as a Parliamentary representative, then and only then will we experience true dictatorship by the Massa of them all.
