MP Algernon ‘Serpent’ Watts recently addressed rumors of animosity towards Hon. Anthony Smith in a candid video, clarifying his actions during the latest parliamentary session. Watts emphasized that his decision to walk out was not driven by personal dislike for Smith.<\/p>

“I didn’t walk out because I hated Anthony,” Watts stated, recounting a chance encounter with Smith at the Parliament entrance. “We were coming in around the same time. I was dealing with a persistent cold and coughing. As I was coming back inside, I saw him entering and held the door open for him. He thanked me and mentioned that we need to talk.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watts reiterated that he does not see Smith as an adversary. “My words to him were ‘you’re not my enemy.’ I have nothing but love for him. We will not be hanging out because I don’t hang out with the LI party, but that’s that.”<\/p>

Reflecting on Smith’s current position, Watts expressed genuine goodwill. “Anthony is now where he is. God bless him. I wish him all the best in life, and I mean that from my heart. Kudos to him for the reasons he gave for his decisions. He\u2019s a thinking man, and he would have thought long and hard about it. It\u2019s for the constituents, the people who voted for him, to judge.”<\/p>

Watts concluded by emphasizing his respect for Smith\u2019s right to make his own decisions and his hope for Smith\u2019s future success. “I wish him all the best, and I mean that sincerely. It\u2019s up to the people who voted for him to decide how they feel about his decisions. But as far as I\u2019m concerned, I hold no ill will towards him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watts’ message aims to dispel any misconceptions and reinforce a message of respect and understanding amidst political differences.<\/p>
