Indeed, reports indicate that he could be quite competitive running as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n<p>But first things first. He mounted a challenge in the Court, on the ground that the selection of Mr. Turner breached the Party\u2019s Constitution. And Asot was successful in securing an interim injunction- that is a temporary hold on the Labour Party from naming any person as its candidate in St.Peter in a process that is not in accordance with the Party\u2019s Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>There are some very intelligent people in the Labour Party, and friendly with it. So it boggles the mind that they would make a mistake like this. Surely, they should know that their action in naming Mr. Turner was flawed, and, especially given the tenacious nature of Asot, would not go unchallenged.<\/p>\n<p>So while Gaston and his team can easily cure this defect, this time simply following the appropriate procedure, and I\u2019m sure that that\u2019s what they\u2019ll do, the fact that they were careless in a straightforward matter like this in the first place is not only embarrassing but it also suggests troublingly flawed thinking and judgment on their part, and a disregard for rules of governance under which their Party\u2019s affairs are conducted. It also suggests an inclination to weaponize power.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-55774\" src=\"https:\/\/antiguabreakingnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/labourite-wants-ablp-to-sort-our-1024x576.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antiguabreakingnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/labourite-wants-ablp-to-sort-our-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/antiguabreakingnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/labourite-wants-ablp-to-sort-our-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/antiguabreakingnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/labourite-wants-ablp-to-sort-our-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antiguabreakingnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/labourite-wants-ablp-to-sort-our.jpg 1280w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With all of that said, I think Mr. Turner will be the ABLP candidate for St. Peter in the next General Elections, and one of his opponents will be Asot Michael, (Independent).<\/p>\n<p>Why would the Prime Minister risk going down this road, and risk losing not only the St.Peter, which the ABLP has never lost, but also risk losing the Government?<\/p>\n<p>Is it possible that Labour can win 8 seats, UPP 8, and Asot Michael 1?<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, where does that leave Gaston?
