Why? Because our elected MPs do NOT know everything!
Some are not even trained in Business or even Economics, nor adequately exposed.
What's left?
Simply lots and lots of decision making done in the abstract, without a feel for the implications for what is being implemented.
We, in St. Lucia have done this for so-o-o-o-o long, that we have come to believe that doing PR through the government information service, will make the unpalatalbe, become just, fair, seem reasonable or wise.
Wake up St. Lucia!
It's time for us to become accountable for our actions. Why?
Because in an age of uncertainty, when you mess up, as we see Europe today, you are going to left wallow in your own mess ... for a very long time to come.
The IMF is a bank and as the international "lender of last resort", it is looking for repayment of loans made and disbursed -- as any other financial intermediary will.
Our day-dreamers might well do prosterity a huge favour by paying closer and much greater attention to the ripple effects, the knock on effects, and the ramifications of measures and decisions being taken today.
It is high time that we dump the colonial politics and become statesmen and stateswomen for a change!

What will government charge VAT on next? Sunshine?
