I never thought Clem Bobb was so backward in his thinking- no reasoning no rational, man or man.

No wonder he is the chairman of the uwp.

Can the stamp be removed and tampered with?

Anonymous said...

If that stamp red then I sure know that Kenny was behind that fix. LOL

Anonymous said...

That's the fix, the stamp is solid black,and cannot be erased without noticing it without bifocals.

No hanging of pregnant ballot.

Will the margins be wide enough to prevent an overlap? What of if somebody wanted to vote an SLP and it over lap say for LPM or NDM Or UWP? Who does that ballot belong to?

This is a very good question. I won't even start to dream of the number of legal challenges we could have. I don't know that we have made allowance for senior citizens with very shaky hands.

Is it about personalities, the status quo or change, in this election?

Is there something wrong to vote men and women of good repute? Isn’t it time that elections are fought on ideas, policies and solutions, rather than personalities of Ponzi schemes?

Is that why the chairman of the UWP, wants to keep the status quo and not be in favour of change, new rules and ink pads by the electoral department for the upcoming election?

Why would the vice chairman of the UWP want a separate sitting of the electoral department to brief his party of changes? Are these gentlemen a law unto themselves, and further what are the fears, may I ask?

Is there a fear that the same pocketbook pitches and trade secrets will be exposed? Then come out of the dark-age into the dawn of light, after all, the flame should help shine some light, if not, feel the heat.

All that has to be done is a continued Education of the process and itcan be done
We have to understand that this is a changing world, Methods, policies,can be adopted as times are changing.
Now for Mr Clem Bobb, I pity him.
Its Just to Prove the Level of his pedigree, The uwp and their leaders believe they can countinue with the same business.
My fellow lucians wake up, This is an age of Information and Enlightenment.

The changes are definitely needed. It is my hope that persons at the electoral office will consider that cellphones are not the only electronic devices that can compromised the voting process. Other more advanced electronic gadgets like sophisticated camera/internet accessed wristwatches, electronic pens, micro-cameras etc can severely compromised the voting process more than cellphones.

I was disappointed with Electoral Office official when he indicated that the cellphone was a first step...I say this is a first backward step since the electronic age has obviously left us behind.

Persons at the Electoral office must consider doing things the best and effective way, and stop the mediocre level talk that pervades our small country.

Both SLP and UWP have people who can't read and write. I don't know how this could be a disadvantage for either.

A Caribbean politician once said if a party in Government loses an election, they wanted to lose it.

The UWP is in Government, they have influence over the process. Changes are being made which may cause confusion and therefore favor the incumbent party. The Prime Minister knowing that, approves the changes through his representative. All other parties approve the changes without diligent consideration of the possible consequences.

To pull the wool over our eyes the Chairman of the party, playing "good cop bad cop" is complaining, albeit complaints which the opposition should have been raising. The Commission Chairman playing along with the game is giving the standard answer he would have given to the Opposition if they had raised issue with the changes.

When it is alright in the morning for the UWP. They can all put up their hands and say to the foreign observers, We too had our reservations, but that is how the cookie crumbles! Game over SLP lose!!

Our system might be outdated; but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Remember those 'hanging chads' from the 2000 US presidential election? The supreme court had to determine the outcome of that election.

We don't want that happening in St.Lucia.

Bob reaction only showsm us how fearful the UWP is because they know they will loose the election. Bob afraid he will loose his cussy job. There is nothing wrong or so difficult with the new system. If anything is is much easier, there will be a picture of the candidate, people who cannot write will not have to hold a pencil to write, all they will have to do is to press a stamp down. It is nobody fault but theirs, that the UWP did not perform. I have never seen a party in power complain of the system they suppose to influence, that is insane. After 5 yrs in office UWP has not settle, everyday is another cofussion in the party. Now they are bearly holding on by a tread in parliament from 11 seat down to 9. After all that turmil they still want to hang on to office and afraid to call election. All the UWP has been doing from day one is trying to survive up to now.

A stamp?

Is this the same UWP administration that STOLE an election under Compton and a shill in the STAR recording that a UWP official reported that "It will be alright in the Morning"?

Come on! How many stolen plain and unstamped ballots can be had and 'stamped' in the favour of UWP candidates at a secret location and then stuffed into particular ballot boxes?

Don't forget that this UWP cabal is made of up or real liars under oath before a supreme court, a US jailbird, who has gained ownership of multi-mullion dollar assets almost overnight on a ministerial salary, a drug baron as the real and resident prime minister of St. Lucia, a minister who was charged for selling the medical records of his patients, a deputy speaker whose prosecutorial records went missing, a minister who under-invoiced and had the Customs officer removed, and an entire Cabinet of ministers that conspired to give illegal concessions to a fellow cabinet member, and UWP's Attorney General explaining all of this corrruption by saying that 'politics is for bad boys'?.

Are we making it easier for this Ali Baba gang now to steal an entire election? We need very strict international observers for this election. We cannot allow the UWP foxes to guard the henhouses.

The UWP is up to no good. You cannot trust the UWP.

D people who talk about kicking Kenny ass they all know Kenny ass is well greased. It is the poor people in the country whose ass are being kicked by the UWP. They are the ones who cannot find work, they are the ones who must face all the crime, they are the ones who face the daily price hiking of goods in the supermarkets, they are the ones who cannot mentain their cars after driving on the bad roads in the country, they are the ones who cannot affort to send their children to school.

Kenny is qualified enough to demand a good job anywhere around the world. Kenny is already a rich man. Kenny has already secured a pension. Kenny don't have any small children. Kenny already has his big house. Kenny wiife is a professor at UWI. Kenny was just receiving a PM salary 5 yrs ago for 9 yrs. Kenny is receiving $10000 as leader of the opposition plus he is working in his law office.

So the people who are worrying about Kenny should study about themselves and the poor people of the country first. The UWP are the ones kicking the poor people ass in the country, Kenny ass cannot be kicked.

It's news to me, I did not know that Kenny gets it up there? Did he join the club?

Yes that is the only line that interest you, yes he joined your club because he has a beautiful wife and who knows what they do in the privacy of their bedroom. Just like many ladies do in their privacy. There are many ladies who enjoy men joining the clud with them. Do not pretend not to understand what I'm saying.

My fellow lucians, Some of us write nonsense without thinking, Whiles, There are lots of children who needs help, there are young people who needs guidance and a sense of direction. there are many a men and women who cannot make ends meet and we parly with unfounded ideas and opinions of what we think.
Again look at the present leader can we afford to give him another five years mandate.
Lets look at mr prudent can we afford to gamble our future at him,
What of his educational background, his experience in domestic affairs, Caribbean affairs, as well as international matters.
Now the same goes for Mr king, His Education, His Experience, Domestic affairs, Caribbean affairs as well as international affairs.
Mr Osbert can we gamble our future on him as well, His Educational Level,In Domestic affairs, caribbean affairs, as well as international affairs.
Then we Have Kenny Anthony former prime Minister, Look at his record When he was in office. Does the island fair well during his tenure. His Experience,his Educational level, Domestic affairs, Caribbean Affairs, as well as International Affairs.
Now you take a close look and please do not rush to judgement.
Because what am seeing there is that i would take the chance and gable my future at the hands of Mr Kenny Anthony without a doubt. [Why] Because he is more qualified to represent st lucians around the caribbean and the world at large.
Please give jack his jacket and put aside what you hear people say and think for your ownself.
My future, Your Future, Your childen's future are at stake.
Do what is right for yourself and the people of st lucia.
Finally With the Election that took place in haiti. Everyone wanted MIchelle Martelly who was a musician. and now only to realize he is not fit for prime minister.
and now wishing they had someone else, They have to live with it.
Let us not make this mistake as in 2006
Kenny Anthony is more qualified and, He has done so before he can again. The country was better under him

Galli!!!! If Kenny had to depend on jerks like you to win an election he sure would have lost one. Kenny is a servant of the people of St Lucia, not the other way around. He must submit to the will of the people and not the people to his will.

I don't think that many St lucians who dislike Kenny will take kindly to you telling them that Kenny is better than most of them.

Think, Think, Think, you idiot!!!

Anonymous said...

Kenny will not loose anything it is the poor people of St Lucia who have lost and will lost even farther if this UWP win any election in the country. Nobody should love Kenny, what people should love is the country. If anybody love St Lucia and want to see St Lucia move farward they would support Kenny because he was the BEST PM ever to serve St Lucia. Prove me wrong, in 9 yrs he achieved what no PM had never achieved before. Kenny was not perfect, he made mistakes as all PMs will do but hhis achievements surpassed his mistakes. That is a fact. We now have a government now in office who is the direct opposit, their mistakes surpast their achievements, prove me wrong again.

What did I say about Kenny that is wrong? I never said Kenny is better than anybody, do not say what I didn't say. If you consider yourself better than Kenny, them that is you I will never say that. How many St lucians including you that have kenny level of education and work experience? How many St Lucians have made more money legimately than Kenny for the last 13 yrs? How many St Lucians is condidered to be the next PM of St Lucia? How many St Lucians with
the experience and educational background can demand a good job anywhere around the world?etc, etc.

In the first place how did Kenny became the subject, I though the subject was about the failed UWP government being afraid of changing the voting system because they know they will loose the election.

How about converting the slot machines called 'Video Lottery Terminals' into voting machines? We can reconvert them after the election if the UWP wins or store them away until the next election if the SLP wins.

Yes that is UWP biggest achievement in 5 yrs introducing gambling slot machines to the young people of St Lucia. What a big achievement!!!! No wander they afraid to call election, or make changes to the voting process.

I agree that the UWP is a failure just look at the mismanagement and embarassment for St. Lucia in their diplomatic mission in New York with a buffoon in charge. Even in the greatest city on earth we cannot learn anything but we run our foreign affairs there like a fish shop in Laborie.

Anonymous said...

Interesting that no one is researching the Wikileaks documents that were released from the US State Department and how it relates to St. Lucia.

One of the documents shows that from early on Rufus Bousquet went to the US Embassy to try and regularize his situation with regard to his visa as he did not want any leaks from the embassy that would show St. Lucians that he was a felon in the US.

Being the scamp that he is , he knowingly attempted to cover up his past from St. Lucians .

Why no comment ?

Anonymous 1 ......."you never knew Clem Bob was so backward in his thinking?" come on please......I am 47 years of age and I grew up knowing that man associated with the UWP during the time of John Compton........Jurassic park is an understatement..... that guy has not retooled, has not kept abreast of the times and technology and in my opinion all the new measures trying to be rushed at this time is to rigg the voting process in favour of the UWP. If they cant get another term LEGALLY they will go the ILLEGAL route; does that surprise you? I am already anticipating that this elections will be the one marred with the most fraud ever experienced at a General Election in Saint Lucia.....WAIT......... Did you hear Clem Bob's response to Guy's joseph"s disrespect for janine? Typical old massa day, plantation minded, owner of women mentality....Clem must understand that WOMEN RULE the world now.....there is an equal place for all of us......who now heads the IMF? who is the german Prime Minister? and the list goes on.....so people like Clem are threatened by strong and powerful women.....in our world he has NO PLACE I am sorry........

One of the Wikileak documents from the US State Department said a lot about Kenny Anthony showing what we in St. Lucia already know.
This is a direct quote from the State Department when Kenny Anthony was still St. Lucia's ambassador:

“C).....post (the US Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados) considers PM Anthony an unreliable partner whose commitment to security responsibilities consists of self-congratulation and cosmetic solutions such as replacing local police commanders with British police officers (Ref A), without
insuring the logistical or political support the law
enforcement personnel need. Post's interagency Law
Enforcement Working Group believes that St. Lucia's security forces are actually one of the better performing groups in the eastern Caribbean. The forces'effectiveness could
benefit, however, from the replacement of several individuals
in leadership positions. The Prime Minister has not seen fit
to make those changes.

¶11. (C) As in the matter of the delayed Article 98 signature,
PM Anthony refuses to take
responsibility for realizing
security commitments while declining to delegate or
relinquish the authority needed to meet them. In observing
his interaction with his own citizenry throughout the day,
Ambassador Kramer concluded that PM Anthony is not interested
in acting locally or leading globally; his sole focus seems
to be on maintaining his position rather than providing a
vision for St. Lucia's future."

So the Americans thought of Kenny exactly what St. Lucians knew then and know now:
"
PM Anthony is not interested
in acting locally or leading globally; his sole focus seems
to be on maintaining his position rather than providing a
vision for St. Lucia's future."

It is all about narcissistic Kenny and not St. Lucians yet you all want to vote for him again.

Rochamel makes you feel proud? Then I wonder what makes you disgusted?

It is not that the UWP is that much better at all. But are Lucians so dumb that if Kenny were not alive they could not find a less tainted member of the SLP to be head of that party.

Kenny is an unrepentant blotcher. He is not good at all with money. Like all the rest he has no vision. Don't big up Kenny only because he looks better than the bastards in the UWP.

Get real. Give us a less tainted individual as the leader of the SLP. If a genuine jackass can be PM in the UWP there isn't at least one other candidate in the SLP other than Kenny that can do a better job than puppet king or the real PM aka he Drug Baron of St. Lucia?

Anonymous said...

Let me put some sense in your head, you or anybbody else in this world will NEVER beable to find a perfect PM anywhere on this earth, and that is a fact. There was never or there will never be a PM who will not make mistakes. Show me one anywhere around the world who has not make mistakes.

Let us sit down and think. Being a PM is not an easy job, so anyone new to that job WILL make mistakes. Replace Kenny and the new person will still have to learn with trial and errors. Kenny is not good with money is a lot of crap, because all the time Kenny was taking a chance for the betterment of the people. Rachamel was an investment went bad. We still did not loose everything because we got a hotel from that, where hundreds of St Lucians got employment. How many hotels have UWP brought to St Lucia in 5 yrs?

They talk about cost over run. Can you show me one big project especially road that did not have cost over run? Kenny did not cause the cost over run, he is not the engineer who does the costing. If there is additional work to be done so that the project could be completed, it had to be paid for. How many highways have the UWP built in 5 yrs?

Go to Htsstlucia.org and you will see the amount of money UWP has borrowed, and show me what they have done with money? So I prefer one who spent twice the amount on a good project, which we still have, than one who borrow money and nobody know what they does with the money.

So we changed Kenny for the better, are we better off today than when Kenny was in office?

Anonymous said...

The old ploy of demonizing Kenny is not going to work this time around. Dove is not there to show King how to do it again.

The electorate have to be ever vigilant to ensure that their franchise is not taken away from them through the guise of Election Voting Changes.

Watch those boxes!! Never take your eyes off those boxes!!! Guard them with your life!!!! because that's what is at stake this election.

St. Lucia gave birth bud did not produce those Nobel prize winners. Those two guys overcame the deficiencies. They succeeded in spite of the poor education system. Look today at the thousands of young people who are being failed by the system. They find 'employment' in the Drug Baron's narcotics enterprise. The US has him under surveillance. Day break will catch the moon soon enough. He can run for elections, but he cannot hide his unusual wealth. The US jailbird is next.

Isn't there some provision in the Law that debarred individuals once declared bankrupt from putting themselves up for elections? I recall sometime in 1997-1998 the Official Government Gazette listing a number of companies wned by Ausbert D'Auvergne whilst he was a Permanent Secretary in the Government Service in St. Lucia, and a number of creditors were suing him. Then again an Automobile dealership he owned selling Peugeot cars went under, as well as a development Housing Project in the Bonne Terre area. Then as Chairman of the Development Control Authority, h declared lands owned by Government to be valueless as swamp lands, turned around and bought the lands for cents and then sold it to Hoteliers for Hotel development for millions. Interseting the woman he tried hard to fire as Auditor General in St. Lucia, Emma Hipployte is also on the election ticket. St. Lucia will experience unprecedented events this coming general electon. I am sensing that the United Workers Party will remain in Office. Most of the Senior Public Officials are backing King, especially as they are poised to receive their long, long, awaited back-pay, which Kenny Anthony never recognized was decent to do. Instead he paid himself and his crooks handsomely a la Marius St. Rose recommendations before he even sat his red ass on a public office chair. Thank GOD FOR THE wikileaks, us embassy Report on Kenny Anthony. It proves we in St. Lucia were seeing right about Kenny Anthony all along. Mario Michel is lol and so am I.
