Dear Editor,

Is the UPP still a political party?

Or is it an organization of well-organized women who are good at putting together social events and activities?PS: I don’t agree with Knight that the pig tail is hard. These women can cook well.

I ask this because I sat last night and watched the program that the chairman and her group of women organized. It was a well done occasion and I enjoyed it a lot.

However I remember years ago when my wife used to take me to a program just like this one, organized by almost the same women.

It makes me wonder, wouldn’t it be better if UPP admit that they no longer are in the politics business and just call themselves an event management company? Because nothing is coming out of the party much to do with politics.

Are the men in the party comfortable with that? Have they too thrown in the towel and have left anything to do with politics up to the women in the party?

It is sad to see what is happening. The leader is here then not here, and he has nothing to say about the state of affairs in Antigua unless he gets his talking points. Lewis seems not to want to challenge them because he is afraid they would tear him down. Not sure if Lovell is back or not back.  

What is really going on in the UPP?

Wonderman

    Kudos to the mighty WOMEN’S FORUM for being a pillar of strength to the UPP.

    Love and admiration for the strong, fearless and intelligent DAME.

  2. The weak, egotistical jerks are at it again I see. “We need more women in politics” they say, but in the same breath will undermine any attempt by women to act for the greater good.

    I’m convinced these men really hate women or hate to see women shine

  3. Were they ever? Now they just seem hell bent on public disorder and anarchy. It’s their only way to remain noticed/mentioned in passing!

  4. When you question, you’re challenged. They obviously have wool over their eyes if they cannot see what is rather apparent to the public. You don’t have to be ABLP supporter, as I am, to recognize the inadequacies of the operation.

    There are noticeably factions and cliques in the party between the elected members amongst themselves and the membership as a whole.

    It’s either that the newly elected members are unaware of the process of collaboration or they are just apathetic to the process as long as they receive their remuneration.

    I’m not at all impressed with the goings-on as it sets a poor and compromised benchmark for the ones who are desirous of entering the political landscape representing the opposition.

    Though I’m forever sympathetic to the Labour Party. I still believe that a strong and healthy opposition is crucial as it should be always ready to serve if the electorate chooses to make them relevant to lead our country. Stop cussing and start creating strategies to lead.

  5. Wonderman, I keep wondering myself, it’s as if they have become dormant, the radio programs on Observer and Crusader are sub par more designed for jokes than anything uplifting, used to be a fan of the Snake Pit on Saturdays now I hardly listen. Will never vote ABLP too damn corrupt done with that long time, but UPP got to be more creative

  6. You, writer, seem to be aware of the issues we are presently facing but you have the time to be anonymous and at the same time, delegating persons to speak for you. What if the UPP ceases to be a political party; will you start a movement to challenge ‘the state of affairs in Antigua?’

  7. UPP has never and will never be a political party. What it is is a group whose only commonality is hatred for the ALP. None of them, can speak to any difference in ideology from the ALP. At one time their manifesto spoke to the Bird’s being unimportant historically, next thing they running a Bird on their ticket and another as one as their partners. You then hear their spokes person lauding VC Bird snr. Suggy is the epitome of UPP, found of sound and fury but signify nothing (naught in a figure place). If you speak to the members who have left UPP, most will tell you how free they now feel after letting go of the bitterness UPP requires.

  8. It is so odd to listen to the women’s forum,
    Then listen to fish market in the morning on Regressics radio. Anybody can vote for UPP and them
    Have them
    Vagabond of spokespersons talking for them? A dem we want in our treasury and systems. UPP better get serious

  9. @Man Man,
    Lol, eeh baddah you? You ckyarnt get to my level no matter how you try. Identify yourself if you think you bad. I’m good, sir/mam.

  10. The pig tails taste real nice and older Grey hair lady always gaves me extra with a smile she is always so nice the others just can’t help themselves chatting but they can do that well if they held a competition with the best prepared pigtails and Mr Nighty was one the judges they will win the Pig Tails Ladies Competion however if they put that kind of team work into Upp from boss to helper the pary will be a formidable one but with the division now happening the cracks are getting wider and every one is running for cover its survival time money scarce and the opportunities they once had to get a little help has dried up now Damani is smiling and happy things flowing for him he can have a better quality of life and put Country first and serve well whatna brilliant mind and I think one day he will make the best Chief of Staff in the PM’s office this comrade has so much unmatched potential and intelligence and is a great loss to the upp the other is young winner not in Damani class rough with his arguments ignorantly so but with training be a force to reckon with youth is on his side and should replace Pringle who doesn’t not his head from his foot still stumbling and Harlod should come back to teach Pringle 101 in Politics just the basic stuff for now

  11. This piece of awfully written garbage is further proof that there’s some sort of co-ordinated political movement by the ABLP hoi polloi to destroy the main opposition (as many concerned Antiguans have mentioned time and time again in the past).

    Gaston Browne recently admitted that he was almost removed from office by the UPP at the last General Election by a handful of votes.

    And since their miraculous win, Gaston Browne and his enablers (like wonder woman) have been on a crusade to destroy, discredit and divide the UPP.

    This ulterior motive by the ABLP is all about moving Antigua & Barbuda on to a one party state, that will only create dire repercussions in the future.

    GASTON BROWNE CANNOT WIN A FAIR FIGHT

    Antigua doesn’t belong to him.

    He is evil personified – and God nar sleep!

    Look at what happening to Trump with his divide and conquer behaviour in the US …
