Dear Editor and Readers,<\/p>

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

I have been watching the political atmosphere here in our country for some while sitting on the fence looking for the best option.<\/p>\n

Weighing the options of the blue and its broken\u00a0track record and the red in regard to their disregard for the suffering nationals and the ever rising cost of living being presented before us.<\/p>

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

Never have I seen 2 gallons of gasoline cost $35.00!!<\/p>

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

Now, I am seeing a trend that’s occurring\u00a0in front of our faces; the fact that a party pays for a poll and the pollster always puts the results in the favour of the paying party.<\/p>\n

As a fence sitter and watching the political atmosphere, this country and the electorate must not opt-out the DNA as a strong uprising party who actually have plans in place that the country needs.<\/p>

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

It’s shameful to say the least that these pollsters deliberately\u00a0avoid mentioning the DNA whilst their popularity seems to be going in the positive direction.<\/p>\n

If the election bells were to ring now, the failing ABLP and the failed UPP could not receive\u00a0a vote from me nor my household.<\/p>

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

This country obviously needs a change outside of the binary system and I honestly think I may step off of the fence and vote for the DNA simply because of these self-praising polls that we’ve lately been seeing from those other two parties who obviously have nothing to offer.<\/p>

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

Did you hear that UPP candidate Potter the other day when she couldn’t answer a simple question about foreign direct investment?<\/p>\n

Where is the UPP’s shadow government who\u00a0are to\u00a0speak and oppose?<\/p>\n

Look, I am not one to write editorials but i just may start so we can have robust debate in regards to this “atmosphere”.<\/p>\n

EYES WIDE OPEN<\/p>\n
