If Lord Karessah is going to be dethroned at the 2010 Calypso Finals, he is going to have to lay down his crown.
All of the calypsonians will be hoping and praying for a no-show or faux pas of extreme proportion from him.
But the Karessah is simply unstoppable this year
Of course, he has King Hunter and [...]

On Monday, the Ministers of government in the cabinet of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit will be sworn into office. That should have happened a week or two ago. But Skerrit must have been in a bit of a quandary over the appointment of his cabinet and hence the delay
Having won eighteen out of the twenty-one seats [...]

The campaigning is over. Voters have spoken. Now we must wait for the results. And the results are coming in rather fast and furious. Each of the major parties contesting the elections predicted victory at the polls. A Dominica Labour Party (DLP) poll predicted a landslide victory for Skerrit. However the realities on the ground [...]

What goes around comes around. Today’s acerbic contest between the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) and the United Workers Party (UWP) for the government is nothing new.
Ron Green and the UWP campaign strategists are hoping to convince voters or at least create the perception that Roosevelt Skerrit and the DLP are totally corrupt and therefore must [...]

I started writing a few blogs and promised to never waiver in my commitment to be unbias in my less than informed views on the Dominican Political landscape. I am now facing a major disappointment crisis- and that is “it is impossible not to have a view, or support a side in this Election campaign”. [...]

Everyone seems to be shoving down my throat about “your democratic right to vote“. As if it’s some holy grail to deliverance. But can one vote really make a difference. Would DFP, UWP or DLP need my vote to win? Nope, they don’t – My one vote does not change the course of Dominica’s history.

I am truly bad at accounts - and an even worst saver than most. But being a Politician is not a job for life – working as a public servant is = let’s say in The Ministry of Health for 20 years is guaranteed – well, maybe if you are quiet about who you support, [...]

Now the Life of Prime Minister Skerrit has got to be full of adventure – OK! Its full of hard work, stress, nation making decisions = but hey! Man its got to full of adventure. Do you know whose life would be boring? Well, a past Prime Minister (Dominica has had it’s share), or a [...]

It would be indeed very interesting to hear wedding bells for the PM. To my recollection there has never been a family Dominican leader – married, with children, holding the leader title at public office. But it certainly would make for an interesting spin on the political race for December. The news alone it would [...]

It’s like a pack of wolves – the alpha male cannot afford to lower it’s guard. Forget about what makes a good leader for Dominica – Do you remember your high school prefects, class captains and class monitors – do you remember those intense election campaigns at school – i mean then we were all [...]
