Dear Editor,<\/p>

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

I as a diehard ABLP support am shocked and stunned when I listen to the Honorable Prime Ministers engaging Comrade Washy on his Browne and Browne show on Saturday on Pointe FM that it is very likely that he will take the 3 months leave and call the election in June.<\/p>\n

Taking such a decision to call the election in June would be one of the deadliest political decisions the Honorable Prime Minister would ever take in his political career.<\/p>

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

I remember 2 years ago Ambassador\/Comrade Lionel Max Hurst had a conversation with Darren Matthew-Ward on Observer AM and he said rightfully one of the reasons the useless, clueless, incompetent, UPP administration lost the 2014 general election was because in June the tourism season is very slow and lots of person here works in the Tourism industry and were not working, and the timing of calling the general election at that time played in their favour along with the corruption, incompetence and failure of the UPP.<\/p>

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

Whoever is advising the Honorable Prime Minister to call the elections in June, either needs to be fired or needs a new head and a new brain screwed on their body.<\/p>\n

If I were Ambassador Lionel Max-Hurst I would tell the Honorable Prime Minister not to call the election in June next year and push to from now till March next year get people working, fix the country\u2019s road network and push for the Fort James and Willoughby Bay reverse Osmosis Plants to be completed latest February next so that the people can get reliable water 24hr a day in their home and businesses. The government employees need to know that if the UPP gets into power they are going to layoff persons because they do not care about the people of this country.<\/p>

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

This thing about we need time to spend the 200Million Mr. PM can’t fly with us the Labour Party supporters, between January and March next year we need a heavy push to moneys here there and everywhere to get things going to defeat the UPP losers,. Its high time the people in the Ministry of Finance get off their behind and push for the 200 Million the Honorable Prime Minister needs to spend so that he can call the election when it is constitutionally due next year March.<\/p>\n

Calling the election beyond March next would be totally detrimental to the ABLP\u2019s existence as a party and make it much harder for the ABLP to win the election if it is call in June.<\/p>

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

Please Honorable Prime Minister I beg you do not call the election in June, call it in March when people still working, we the ABLP support are ready to go out enthusiastically in huge number once the election is called in March and put the loser and failure Harold Lovell into a permanent retirement home never to be seen again and wipe the UPP out of existence as a Party.<\/p>

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

17-0 the UPP, Lovell and Dane Knight getting in their asses once the election is called March next year.<\/p>\n

We ready for the election road to another 5 years of the ABLP next year March!<\/p>\n
