The Jolly Beach purchase has had at least 6 different announcements about different buyers in 6 weeks.

All political parties make a sales pitch to the electorate, but Gaston Browne goes overboard. Voters often do not hold politicians accountable for unfulfilled promises and so any perceived consequences are minimal. Even politicians with the best intentions can have difficulty making them happen. But there are promises that are credible and reasonable, those that are simply shots in the dark, and others are simply designed to mislead voters.<\/p>\n<p>Gaston Browne is well aware that many voters only listen to the headlines and they don\u2019t follow the trend lines. They are looking for words of hope and inspiration to latch on to. Campaign promises don\u2019t require the complete story, just an inspiring headline, coupled with persuasive sound bytes followed by \u201cMore to Come.\u201d In politics, history tends to repeat itself and voters\u2019 memories can be very short-term. Gaston Browne is clearly creating \u201cRibbons in the Sky\u201d in the hopes that the gains from his headline sensationalism will outweigh any costs in lost credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Campaign promises are extremely critical in winning elections, especially if they provide solutions to issues that divide a nation. Let us strive to live in the here and near future! Talk is cheap and Gaston is sitting on a pile of undelivered promises. We are tired of waiting for \u201cMore to Come\u201d, because it\u00a0 has \u201cCome up Short.\u201c Antiguans and Barbudans do your own research and analysis and follow the trend lines.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Sunbeam<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3503739060\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor: Election Talk Just Got Cheaper with Gaston\u2019s Favorite \u201cThree Words.\u201d In Stevie Wonder\u2019s song \u201cThese Three Words\u201d from the Jungle Fever soundtrack (1991), he uses the power of music and word rhythms to inspire fans: \u201cThese three words, sweet and simple, short and kind, always kindle, an aching heart to smile inside.\u201d\u00a0 At [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":155959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-156754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) -
