forcing UPP to become very frustrated and thus causing them to become their own enemy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a result, as time gets closer to the general election, certain candidates are now causing UPP to lose more support along the way, due to their\u00a0unscrupulous, unethical, unprofessional and dictatorship behavior been emanated by them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The youths are also in the numbers of migrating from them. Young brilliant minds such as Kieron Murdoch has now left, and I am sure that some of Kieron&#8217;s colleagues such as Daren Matthew Ward, Carlon Knight, Khadeem Joseph &amp; others who are affiliated with the popular UPP aligned radio station, Newsco, may take a similar stance in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At this time, it is my view, it might be best advisable for some of those present candidates of UPP to stay out of Antigua&#8217;s politics. They are showing the public at large, that they are not ready to take up the mantle to manage &amp; more so to govern our country&#8217;s affairs.\u00a0 They are like square pegs in round holes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is perhaps for this reason why ABLP see it fitting, to play the game of asking<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beedie, Beedie what&#8217;s hanging over Serpent&#8217;s head?
