UWP have a lot of trouble on its hands. First it was Prudent who left to form his own party followed by Lorne who defected the SLP. After that we saw Dove booted out and he two went back to his old NDM. This was followed by J. Compton and the latest is Marcus who is busy looking for some space in the SLP.
These people were visible faces inside the old flambeau. I am not even talking yet about others that feed up with Flambeau. Let them stay there an make as if the business not looking bad. The flambeau party looking real fragmented. They have too many enemies out there. Lord put a hand for the ole party.
Like Eugenia Charles's party in Dominica that dissolved into thin air after her death; flambeau is in for the same fate.
Flambeau is done, finished, gone.
The poor man, Compton, must be turning in his grave, knowing the likes of Richard Frederick and Bosquet has brought down his party,soon to be oblivious.
We need freedom from the UWP. We are fed-up, frustrated, irritated, angry, hurt and disappointed. Some of us prayed for this outcome and now we have regretted severely. Others voted the UWP just because we thought we would get better. I honestly believed that the UWP would do better but here we are.
Mwe just farshay.
I agree we need freedom from the UWP but I sure in hell wish to surrender my freedom to Kenny and Tony's prison.
It's only four years since we liberate we self. To go back there I rather vote for a mop as the leader of the country.
I totally agree #4.
These uwp's are self-destruct! Are they not?
Rest assured, as long as Compton is not in that party, I WILL NOT VOTE these good for nothing ministers.
I will not waste my vote on the likes of Richard Frederick, Mondeisir, Rufus Bosquet and Allan Chastanet - especially the questionable Richard Frederick!
I will not vote for the UWP but I won't waste my time and vote on Kenny either.
I agree with the person above that said -
It's only four years since we liberate we self. To go back there I rather vote for a mop as the leader of the country.
How true.
But people let us explain ourselves, let us say what we liberated ourselves from, fredom from what? We must give solid reasons why will not vote for Kenny? Do not let them have any upper hand on us. Let us give them the reasons.
THIS WHAT ST LUCIA WILL MISSED ON; THANKS TO JAILBIRD RUFUS BOSQUET.
China Woos Caribbean With Offer of $1 Billion in Loans
Published: Monday, 12 Sep 2011 | 7:31 PM ET Text Size By: Reuters
China announced on Monday it will provide $1 billion in loans to Caribbean countries to finance infrastructure projects as it deepens ties in a region historically linked with the United States.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The loans will be made available through the state-run China Development Bank, China's Vice Premier Wang Qishan told a meeting of Caribbean and Chinese officials in Port of Spain, capital of oil and gas producer Trinidad and Tobago.
"China cannot develop itself in isolation of the world and the world needs China for its development," he said.
The financial help comes as many Caribbean countries struggle with stagnant economies hit by anemic growth in the United States and Europe, the traditional sources of investment and visitors for many of the region's tourism-dependent states.
China's wooing of the Caribbean is part of a global push by Beijing promoting loans and investment while seeking natural resources and political influence in the developing world from Africa to Latin America.
Wang said trade between China and the Caribbean had grown annually by 24 percent and reached $7.2 billion in 2010.
While the amount of fresh loans on offer to the region may be smaller than Chinese multibillion-dollar investment pitches in other places, such as Africa, it could potentially go a long way in many of the Caribbean's fragile economies.
Some countries like Jamaica, Barbados and the Bahamas bear heavy debt loads, leaving little government money to forge ahead with infrastructure projects.
Terms of the loans and details of new projects were expected to be worked out during the two-day meeting between Caribbean and Chinese officials that began on Monday in Port of Spain.
Resorts, Ports, Roads, Refineries
China has stepped up its investments in the region in recent years.
The Chinese are already involved in a $2.6 billion resort project in the Bahamas which broke ground earlier this year. The Baha Mar project — one of the largest tourism developments in the Caribbean — is being financed and built by two Chinese government-owned entities.

China is also reportedly planning to invest more than $400 million to revive a stalled beachfront resort project in the Dominican Republic.
In Jamaica, the Chinese have invested more than $1 billion in one of the country's leading ports, a conference center, highway projects and a cricket stadium.
"China has become an important source of foreign direct investment for us," Jamaica's Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett said recently.
Cuba is China's biggest trading partner in the Caribbean, and Cuban Vice Minister of Trade and Investment Orlando Hernandez Guillen praised the Chinese on Monday as a helpful ally to less developed countries.
"China represents hope for the poorest nations of the world and its impressive development springs from its own resources ... not exploiting or pillaging other nations," he said.
China's involvement in Cuba's economy is increasingly evident, with Chinese-made goods filling the stores and Chinese buses and cars a common sight on Cuban roads.
A unit of China National Petroleum is participating in a $6 billion project to expand and upgrade an oil refinery in Cienfuegos on Cuba's southern coast, with plans including construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal.
China buys nickel, sugar and other products from Cuba and the two nations jointly produce pharmaceuticals.
yes one billion but lets think of the thousands of chines workers that billion will dump on our doorstep think people china has an agender.
Learn to spell and write properly before you make your assumptions about dropping Chinese on our door-steps.
In the beginning of a sentence, you use capital letters; for example:
we should never have established diplomatic relations with Taiwan = We, bla bla, with Taiwan.
yes = Yes
lets = let's or "let us"
chines = Chinese
china = China
agender = agenda
Think and write properly, anonymous, before writting RUBBISH.
Sorry, not anonymous...but 'never'...how apporpriate; a "never" you are indeed!!
yes rubbish the truth is around you do your research when it come to chinese money and this is not a spelling contest neither a grammar contest u know yourself an i know myself so dont be so quick judge
When will King stand up to face his Cabinet of men with strong balls. The man can't delegate or appoint a deputy speaker of the house after 3 long weeks. I wish to nominate Mr. Stephenson King as deputy speaker of the house. If King is serious about country he will avail himself to that post given his inability to appoint someone from his cabinet.
I doubt very much that Frederick and Rufus would agree to that position given that they are real leaders of the UWP.
