The Labour Spokesman Editorial
As we approach the general elections it is a good time to pause and reflect on just what is at stake for our nation, and the answer to that is the future of ourselves, our children and theirs, our institutions, our wellbeing, and our very way of life.
It can well be said that virtually everything is at stake. Dealing with what we do not want first: it is painfully obvious that what we have experienced for the past five years is that which we do not want. Five years of SCHEME UNITY have proven to be five years far too many. One being Greater than Six has hastened the demise of just about every aspect of our nation’s governance system, its ethics and mores, financial accountability, general discipline, as well as its efficiency and effectiveness.
When it was learned in May 2018 that the prime minister had been implicated in some international scandals — a British Court and criminal investigation authorities in that country and Germany able to show the world that Dr. Timothy Harris had been named for his personal involvement in shameful deal makings — it was a traumatising experience for most of our people. Watches! Shoes! Dinners! Dear, dear, dear.
Beyond any shadow of a doubt, we, the people of St. Kitts and Nevis, made a terrible mistake on Monday 16 February 2015. We cannot allow ourselves to be pushed any further down in the quagmire of decay. We owe it to ourselves and to our nation. Remember to vote wisely. On St. Kitts Vote for Labour. On Nevis Vote for NRP.
