Dear Editor,
As a former parliamentarian and a citizen who supports the two party system, I am very concern about the lack of interest I am seeing in the United Progressive Party for the political affairs of the country.
We are getting the usual talk shop that is almost meaningless in such a highly political environment we live in.
There are some mobilization Sundays and they look to me like internal affairs. Putting Zizi on the radio every morning to say the same thing and talk to the same callers is not the answer.
Having a radio station and very little political programs does not make sense.
When will UPP start talking politically to people to convince them to support them in the next election?
Do they think because they came close last time they will do it next time?
To think so is to be politically foolish and not in touch with their base nor voters who want to hear more from them.
It is like they have given up and are now only care about having barebcues.
Now I see they are having a ball where the women can dress up and do girl stuff.
Where are the men in the party? Have they gone hiding under petticoats?
Is the party tired of all the body blows Gaston Brown has given them and they are throwing their hands up in defeat?
Have they agreed to let the woman take over and just walk away? Just like me, people are confused about what is happening in the UPP.
It looks like none of them have any interest in doing the politics.
I understand that most of the branches are not operating and the leadership has been smothered by the my way or the highway approached by the chairman.
Many of us were hopeful when Harold Lovell made his bold announcement Only he left in the middle of everything and put back everything in the hands of the caretaker who was there in the first place.
That makes no sense to me. Either he’s in or out.
He can’t do politics on his break from school.
He is the hope that UPP has now and if he too does not have the heart for it then he should keep his a-se in Canada and give back the constituency to Coats.
This is serious stuff.
At his age he is getting his last chance. Depends if he wants it or not.
