High Court Decision Pending on Election Petition Against Former MP Kelvin Simon

1. High Court decision PENDING?

   Snakes! We wait with baited breath …

   All the best your Honourable Kelvin Shuggy Simon.

   • @Brix, you forget he resigned? The position as MP is no longer his. One thing I know about Jan is she not into people wasting her time. This Lucian woman don’t play. Time to push Shuggy in the grave he dug for himself

     • However @ tenman, my beloved Antigua & Barbuda will rise like a phoenix from the ashes when ALL Antiguans realise that their lives could be 10 times BETTER without – the seĺf-indulgent – Prime Minister Gaston Browne.

       CAN’T WAIT FOR OUR NEW DAWN …

       • It’s coming!!

2. @tenman. All judges are bound by the constitution dumbo, they simply cannot dictate the outcome of elections. Judges just can’t swope in and change an election outcome and the votes of the people. As far I can tell, we still live in a democratic society and not a atocracy, but I see some of you are very quick to change that.

   You’ll better watch the slippery slope you’ll are so easily willing to slide down for selfish reasons.
   Elections are about the people, and the people has clearly spoken, and no judge in this democracy can change that.
   The more some of you talk, is the more idiotic are narcissistic you’ll sound..I guess the body go as far as the head goes, and corruption is always afoot with this current administration.
   You’ll are just messy as hell, very toxic indeed.

   • *Autocracy*

3. I don’t think that the resignation should have anything to do with this case before the judge. I am also in agreement that if the Judge rules that his nomination was illegal it is automatic nullification of his votes. I consider this a sad day because I lay the blame squarely on the shoulder of the UPP party. I argued all along, why isn’t Suggy resigning . Why ? I was told that his mind was not completely made up. Other circles were suggesting that he was trying to milk out a last salary. I argued with my south friends then that she should not be allowed to participate. We had examples of these before- UPP Bertram Joseph and Eleston Adams were both teachers and resigned early. APLP Johnson Southwell was head of All Saints Secondary. He too resign way in advance.
   Now the ball is in the court hands , we are playing politics. I have not seen anywhere where our judges have allowed politicians and politics to guide their decisions. So stop playing politics and saying that the Judge is going to rule in favor of Calvort Arron / Samantha Marshall.
   I do understand that the people of the constituency wanted a change and don’t know if the voters voices are loud enough to influence the good Judge.
   I am waiting with abated breath on this decision, which will have significance on future civil servants wanting to enter politics and their resignations.
   I also prefer a judge’s decision with a legal interpretation, than a jury of our pairs.
   Waiting!!!!!

4. @frankly speaking….huh?
   This case is not about feelings sir, it’s about law. In which democracy have you ever seen or heard of a judge awarding a politician his or her seat? That’s not how it works sir, otherwise you would have already seen it over and over again, even here in the US where the judges refuse to change anything concerning the 2000 election where Al Gore went to plead his case.
   The constitution simply do not allow for it, other wise judges would have intervene way before this present case.

   Feelings do not make cases, the law does. The man resigned, so now the seat has to be contested again, simple. When he resign and why he resign is just conjecture and has no bearing in this case.
