SLP, UWP Not The Same

The SLP is more communist, heartless, anti-business, anti-america, and more pro-cuba and other left-leaning organizations.
The UWP, on the other hand, is more capitalist, pro-business, pro-jobs, and pro-america.
And history has shown that St.Lucia and St.Lucians do better under a UWP administration than under the SLP.

For instance, Rodney Bay, the Mariner, Pigeon-Island Causeway, and the Castries-Gros islet Highway all came under the UWP in the early 70's.
The East-Coast Highway to Vieux Fort also came under the UWP. And it was the UWP that brought Hess to St.Lucia.
I can go on, and on, and on; but I have to be mindful of others who would also like to share their views.

I had to stop taking this article seriously at this point- "The Labour Party, when in government, has always respected the Constitution and the laws of the land"

What kind of bullshit are you trying to pass off? Are you fucking serious? Grynberg? Rochamel? No audited accounts? Spelling errors in the constitution meaning Kenny can just change the final court?

The author is a dangerous person. That they could put these comments without any hint of irony shows what a mendacious individual they are. Shame on you, you pervert. Both parties are up their necks in it.

"Unfortunately, these initiatives were as much about creating the politically important impression of caring for the poor as they were about using these projects and the contract award system to extend patronage to key political supporters"

YOU MEAN LIKE STEP?!!! HAHAHAH. This guy is bulling for sure.

Now you tell me with over thirty years of united workers party rule and labour party rule, which party have had the most corruption in the history of St Lucia The thirty years of Compton rule where mickey pilgrim, osbert dauvergne, and many other ministers who stole millions as government ministers under Compton rule and what happen to them, Then you had the last 5 years under king administration[2006--2011] Where you had a bus driver elected and became millionaire overnight, You had a minister, turn Prime minister living under house rent, then suddenly owning a mansion, The united workers party ministers each was given millions for their constituency and what did they do with it, No one knows except them, How about the former minister of tourism, His phone bills, his Stewardship at the helm even at air Jamaica, or Even before the Court, Now you tell me.

Saint Lucians are ignorant who can only make it in life through cheating or borbolism. That is so rampant that people now refuse to see it as a disgraceful national trait.

Independence has failed. It only works when you elect honest individuals with integrity and wisdom. Lucians have spent too long voting for chicken, rum and backhanders. This is the result.

There is a saying there is no fool like an old fool. The writer sounded intelligent, then the further I read, I could not stop laughing. Selected memory does not even come close. The man does not even understand that the world has moved on. There is no such thing as true practicing ideology driven politics any more. Case in point, Both Russia and China, so called Communist poster boys back in the day, are now pursuing the most aggressive economic and capitalist agendas. Russia suddenly has more millionaires per capital than many other European countries. China is exporting all over the world into the heartland of Capitalist America. World governments are subject to the dictates of the IMF and other World institutions. Did either the UWP or the SLP really wanted to impose VAT ? Of course not. The development of St. Lucia's infrastructure by either party should not be seen as some thing special. Is that not what they went into Government to do in the first place. ? Should a government turn St. Lucia into a an international manufacturing centre or a Regional Finical Centre generating millions through the economy, creating new jobs, raising the standard of living, creating real growth, then we can stand back and say well done. And while we are talking differences. The wife of the leader of the UWP and the daughter of the leader of the SLP are partners in a major law firm in the heart of Castries. Yeah right my 'over heightened' 'know it all' teenage niece would say. We St. Lucians are tired of been pissed in the eyes. We know all the politicians are basically the same. Is Vaughn Lewis' heart in the UWP or the SLP. I only ask as he was once a UWP Prime Minister. Are the delusional Francis Brothers, true Blooded UWP or SLP stalwarts? I only ask, as I have seen them both campaign for the Labour Party, supported it and praised it. An now I am told they will be candidates under the UWP banner come the next election. Stop pissing in our eyes.

4.40 - you hit the nail on the head. They are two cheeks of the same arse. UWP/SLP are just vehicles for the rape of ordinary st lucians and the natural landscape of this fine nation. There is no difference between them. Presclaaart is just another stooge trying to tell you night is day.

A dog by any other name is still a dog. SLP/UWP cheeks of the same backside.
