If they have an unstable party they will have an unstable government, PM Browne warns

1. This is true.

   The U.P.P. na ready

2. Nice try, but a crock of bullshit from a Labourite who keeps singing for a place at the corrupt traugh. The surprise might be catastrophic. BE CAREFUL

3. Dear Mr Knight
   You did a stupid thing last night with the interview of the UPP candidates. A word of advice. Please remove that woman from your programs. She is not cut out for that. She is too into herself, she is boring and not politically suitable.
   You got a chance to interview the candidates since you were crying how they are not coming on your ‘shawer’. Now you got them, you hand them over to this egotist.
   Take my advice. Your show is not going to get better with her. It will get worse. I left very early last night. The candidates did not look so happy either.
   Tell Ann to call in like everybody else. Not host. Sounds like she lecturing people.
   This is election time. Do Gad bless yuh. Nuh bring she back.

4. So many were running to touch the hem of his garment in the public market today. It was a sight to behold. Took him more than 5 minutes to get into his suburban and another 5 to be able to drive off.
   Trump said he loved the uneducated. Successful politicians do.
   Our leader here has made a science out of how to manage minions. They should teach a class about it at his university.

5. Even the most hardcore UPP supporters know this is true. The ABLP are far from perfect but a Pringle lead UPP would be a man-made disaster for the country. It is clear that the existing UPP can’t work with each other and this has lead to dozens of departures from the party yet some people genuinely think they can run the country? They would run the country into the ground with Pringle leading them. How someone thought it was a good idea to have him as opposition leader just boggles my mind.

6. Half a dozen of one and six of the other…..are they the same thing? We are in a vicious cycle in governance where political instability and systemic corruption reinforce each other. An unstable party marked by internal power struggles and shifting alliances against a corrupt government that creates an environment where corruption becomes the norm, entrenching itself into the culture and systems. We are forced into looking for the lesser of the two evils.

7. Anonymous, I suggested to you sometime back that you should really stay anonymous. Don’t you think Gaston has advisors, he is arrogant and proud and might not want to admit it, ever heard of Ron Sanders and I am sure there are more. All leaders anywhere have advisors but you are just too anonymously stupid to understand that

8. I love his logic. So if you have an ABLP PM Gaston Browne saying he can’t help you when you ask for basic help to help victims and to employ Antiguans and Barbudans, what does that mean using the ABLP PM Gaston Browne logic?

9. Talk all you want, but no one in Antigua can call Pringle a crook. On the other hand, we have a PM in power that turns a blind eye to wrong doings and corruption even in his own government. $15mil disappeared, and disagreement between grown men is the worry here, really!

   So if your wife disagrees with you on anything, you divorce her the next day, no, that’s not what you do, you work it out with your wife.

   Disagreement is a positive thing in politics, and that’s why change happens, when people have different opinions and can share them openly without judgement.

   You people think because no one if standing up in the ABLP and calling out the corruption and downright ineptitude, that it’s a positive thing or the country is going in the right direction, well it’s not.

   Same thing with the Republicans here in the US, and look where we are.

   ” All thats necessary for the triumph of evil, if for good men to do nothing”.

   Keeping quiet about the blatant corruption in Antigua, will be it’s downfall. The same way y’all keep quiet about Allen Sanford and his corrupt money,when many in Antigua was benefiting off of it. We lost visa privileges because of that same corruption in the CIP and GB getting rich from Maduro cheap oil prices. Did you pass those cheap prices onto your citizens GB, you corrupt bastard, instead you got rich, no wonder the CEO of WIOC was detained and searched by the FBI.

   But don’t worry, more to come. And don’t think for once your deeds with the ALPHA is over either, these Russians will bleed you and Antigua.

   Bunch of corrupt thieves in this land.

   Where are the 1000 Africans GB, they and Asots Blood are crying from the ground.
   And justice in this land is a joke. I bet the Chantel killer will go free, just like the Manny and Kaleel killer’s who wear a badge.

   Name me two corrupt people in the UPP party.. I’ll wait.

10. I would happily take a chance any day with Pringle and the UPP than continuing with this Gang of Thieves. We wouldn’t have to be complaining about our lands being stolen, only to be immediately sold to Internationally known, criminal Businessmen. UPP folks don’t know how to ‘tief’ so they would be easily caught. They have never murdered or harmed any of the traitors who took money to destabilize the Party. It is , and never was, the Party’s policy to instruct murderers to discard their guns so as to evade prosecution. There are so many downsides to the ALP managing Antigua and Barbuda. Before the elections, I am going to post ‘THE THIRTEEN SINS OF GASTON BROWNE AGAINST THE ANTIGUA LABOUR PARTY’ by Lionel Hurst. Would it be carried on ABS Radio and TV if I offer to pay?

11. The United Progressive Party (UPP) will take no lectures on “leadership” from the Prime Minister.

    The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ALP) was given a clear five-year mandate to govern this country. Yet, after only two years, the Prime Minister chose to call a snap election without providing the nation with a credible explanation. This decision raises serious concerns about instability, weak governance, and a failure to deliver on promises made to the people.

    Under the Prime Minister’s tenure, crime has risen to alarming and unacceptable levels. The healthcare system has deteriorated so severely that the government was forced to recruit 123 nurses from Ghana to address critical shortages. The police service remains under-resourced and ineffective, with too many murders going unsolved and too many citizens left without justice.

    Immigration services are also in a troubling state. Officers remain ill-equipped to carry out their duties effectively, resulting in widespread overstays and poor enforcement. Even more concerning is the perception that the ALP has attempted to use migration policy for political advantage by offering amnesty to undocumented migrants in circumstances that raise serious questions about fairness and electoral integrity.

    The Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) has been badly mismanaged under this administration, contributing to visa restrictions imposed by the United States and similar actions now being echoed by European countries that once provided visa-free access to Antiguans. This represents a serious blow to the country’s international standing and the freedom of movement of its citizens.

    Meanwhile, the state of public infrastructure tells its own story of neglect. Roads remain poorly maintained, neighbourhoods are deteriorating, drainage systems are inadequate and contribute to flooding, many households still face unreliable water access, and the cost of living continues to rise disproportionately compared to wages. Citizens are being asked to do more with less while receiving fewer services in return.

    The Prime Minister’s administration has also been overshadowed by multiple scandals — including the vehicle procurement controversy, the Alfa Nero matter, and the case involving a senator accused of stealing $250,000 without meaningful accountability. These incidents weaken public confidence and demand clear answers.

    Most troubling of all, the Prime Minister has yet to provide the nation with a transparent and convincing rationale for calling this snap election. Leadership requires accountability and honesty with the people. Calling an early election without justification signals uncertainty, weak performance, and a lack of confidence in completing the mandate entrusted by the electorate.

    The people of Antigua and Barbuda deserve better. They deserve transparency. They deserve accountability. And they deserve leadership they can trust. ⚖️🇦🇬

12. As Antigua and Barbuda approaches its national election in 19 days we stand at a pivotal moment. A storm of economic, social, and security crises threatens us. The United States suspended vital visa programs for Antiguans, sparked by fears that Citizenship by Investment (CIP) ties brought questionable entries. At home, costs soar: SUV licensing fees jumped 40%, crushing owners of older vehicles. Basic goods like grapes exceed $30, and energy prices drain every household.

    At the core is health care: a doctor’s wife had to fly overseas for a simple gallbladder surgery, while he works at the island’s lone hospital—crippled by a broken MRI machine that Hardly works. What message does this send? And gun violence surges: one man caught with a gun and a silencer saw his three-year sentence reduced after a gun amnesty, while another man from Road House, caught with a similar offense, served a full five years. These injustices fracture trust as teenagers fall to gang violence.

    We also see it in the cricket fields—once a source of pride, now locked by a few. They control the gate, open only when it suits them—like for birthday parties or special events—and even the sports minister, Daryl Matthew, said he spoke to the people, but still, he only gave me a side gate. As sports minister, he should be ensuring all citizens have access—this is our outlet, not just for a few.

    We also see it in the bus stops—promised by the government, but vandalized, left with broken glass for months. They say Antiguans don’t want better, but we do. And we see it in the roads—licensing fees were supposed to fix them, yet they crumble more each day. Corruption runs deep: a man in tourism promotes motorbikes on cruise ships—his nephew’s business—but it’s all a trickle-down sham, crumbs for the many while the few thrive.

    We, as Antiguans, must rise. We don’t rely only on the opposition—we see the fault ourselves. We need a government that serves all, not just a few. We will stand together, fearless, as one—Antigua, we are the change, and we need to make that change now.

13. But….UPP supporters is this not what y’all wanted AN EARLY ELECTION to get rid of Gassy Dread and his band of thieves. How y’all vex now y’all got what y’all asked for. Y’all should be glad. Not unless of course Gassy Dread is right and y’all nah ready so do what y’all do best complain. UPP really full of ish. Done see none Fries go dey fa laour day.
