Dear Editor,<\/p>

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

In my last letter, under the heading \u201cSame old UPP playbook with a twist from Chair Isaacs\u201d, I indicated that in a follow-up letter I would endeavour to enumerate some of the outstanding accomplishments of the incumbent government, under Prime Minister Gaston Browne, notwithstanding 2 years of the Covid pandemic and the lockdown of the country with the attending serious economic and financial repercussions.<\/p>\n

However, as a person with a knowledge of political history in Antigua and the Region, and observing the present campaign of the main opposition party, and realizing the weakness of the UPP as a political force; its many and varied errors; its lack of effective leadership; a political campaign that is incoherent and based mainly on populism, I have decided to continue to draw these negatives to the attention of the voting public, but more particularly to the independent voters, who decide the winner in a general election.<\/p>

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

The reasons are abundant as they are varied and consequently there will need to be 2 parts to this letter, with your publication\u2019s cooperation.<\/p>

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

ELECTORAL HISTORY<\/p>\n

The truth is that the UPP has steadily lost political support in every election from 2004 to 2014. For example, in 2004 the UPP won with 21,892 votes at 55.50% while the ALP polled 16,544 at 41.94%. By 2014 the ALP won with a popular vote of 24,238 at 56.64% while the UPP polled 17,868 at 41.76%<\/p>

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

In the 2018 general elections, the ABLP won with a total of 23,063 votes at 59.39% to the UPP\u2019s 14,440 at 37.19%. In a reduced poll ABLP declined 1,149 votes while the UPP\u2019s popular vote plummeted from 17,994 to 14,440 a whopping loss of 3,554 votes.<\/p>\n

The above statistical data clearly indicates that between the election cycles 2004 to 2018 the UPP\u2019s percentage vote has diminished from 55.50% to 37.19% while the ALP\/ABLP has increased from 41.94% to 59.39% in the 2018 election.<\/p>

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

GENERAL ELECTIONS 2014<\/p>

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

While the UPP narrowly held on to power in the 2009 elections, it was clear to the discerning political observers that the UPP government had lost its way and was losing support of the independent and swing voters as well as the support of some labour supporters who had been turned off of the Lester Bird administration.<\/p>\n

Halfway through its second term, Antigua was affected by what the UPP loosely referred to as \u2018the world crisis\u201d, and which obviously affected the Antiguan economy. What was evident however, was that the UPP government seemed unable, unwilling and incapable of devising policies to stabilize the economy.<\/p>\n

The government ministers, activists and grassroot supporters would all echo the same excuse \u201cis a world crisis we in, what you expect us to do\u201d? They appeared helpless and inept and certain ministers and the party hierarchy appeared not only inefficient, but corrupt.<\/p>\n

Added to that, Harold Lovell as Minister of Finance was a monumental disaster and the party, in desperation, devised a policy of giving away some of the government\u2019s most valuable assets, e.g. the airport, the seaport and State Insurance amongst others.<\/p>\n

The UPP government had become a ship with neither captain nor rudder.<\/p>\n

Finally, the UPP turned on its own like an animal devouring its young. Members such as Leon (Chaku) Symister and others became the voices of the government and the party and would castigate and abuse all and sundry whom they thought opposed the government, including those party supporters who offered valid criticism.<\/p>\n

These rabid barking dogs also turned their angst on those Caribbean brothers and sisters who had made their home here and were contributing significantly to the economy of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

All of this, oblivious to the fact, that these citizens comprised approximately 26% of the electorate.<\/p>\n

And so, in the fourth year of its second term, it was obvious to the discerning that the UPP government was heading to defeat in the 2014 election, and the fact that the Prime Minister called the election in extra time (12 June,2014), all the while making clownish jokes, as to whether the election date was in his back pocket, side pocket or shirt pocket, added to the anger and frustration of the voters.<\/p>\n

In Part 2, I shall give my opinion on the performance of the UPP in opposition from 2014 and 2018 elections and up to the present.<\/p>\n
