Dear editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please allow me your space to share my view of the Prime Minister. One of the biggest contrasts that I see in the upcoming election is between styles of leadership. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our current Prime Minister is boastful, arrogant and, frankly, he is a bully. You can see it in his facebook posts. He attacks regular people because their views might not be the same as his. What further angers me is the fact that my representative just sit and allow the PM to talk down at him.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not what leaders do. Leaders listen, leaders persuade. By bullying people and attacking them, you regularize that behavior and set a bad example for our children.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harold Lovell is a very different man from Gaston Browne. Say what you will about him, but he is more quiet and thoughtful. He is respectful of others and their opinions. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He is a listener and someone who believes in compromise and diplomacy. He sets a good example for our children by being respectful of people. <\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, we are going to have a choice. Do we want to put Gaston Browne, a bully politician back in? Or, will we go in a different direction and elect leadership that listens and his respectful? That is our choice. <\/span><\/p>\n
