Tell me, how much debt did the UBP leave for your PLP?????????? How can one be soooooooo out of touch?

Richards is still the better numbers man, and that is what we need. People who are good with numbers and providing their cold honest truth seldom have charismatic personalities, kind of part and parcel with being an accountant. Always be wary of someone with charisma presenting numbers, they will seldom tell you what they mean, but will always tell you what they want them to mean.

Foreign capital would pour into the island in the form of international business and tourism dollars. All the little OJs will get free stuff from government because government will have lots of surplus money just like the U.B.P. had.

Hooray for stability!

I do have high regards for Burt as well. Burt is the best debater in the House presently.

The OBA need that time for everything that they have been working on, to really take a hold and create jobs etc.

If it does, then the PLP will win and that would augur well for them for the next General election. Last General election a percentage of the PLP voters stayed home which gave the election to OBA.

If the OBA wins this seat, then they would have the momentum and it would be Advantage OBA going into the next General election.

His stepping down, however, is clearly timed so that the bye-election will be called after students return to their overseas schools….. sadly also not a surprise.
