Dear Editor,
UPP leaders and the members who support them are digging in regardless of how the party is portrayed in the public. They know there was hanky-panky at the convention resulting in a blowout win for chairman Gisele Isaac and political leader Jahmale Pringle, but still this is the cry from those who love their party and want so much to see the back of the ALP administration:
LEH AHWE FORGET ARL AH DAT AND JUST COME TOGETHER AND UNITE THE PARTY, JACK
Most of them are people who if the store where they usually buy only short them 10 cents, would vow not to go back there and buy because they did not get it back.
Under which rock do these persons live?
There is solid evidence that there was cheating at the convention. Would the public get this evidence? UPP was always a closed mouth party. To their detriment. Look at how they handled their successes and accomplishments.
They hired town criers who had other fish to fry and also throw their communications eggs in the Crusader basket, a station that is probably heard by one fifth of the nation.
Do they think that the persons who felt cheated would readily say they will forget that their positions were usurped and set to work with the cheaters as though nothing had happened?
And look who they had to fall back for. Pringle is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier and his handler acts like a power-hungry predator.
So when they keep saying Pringle was D-U-L-Y- E-L-E-C-T-E-D!!!! Do they think this would solve the problem when they know he was elected because of cheating by his cabal within the party?
If the ones who are aggrieved were to say they would bury the hatchet and unite without any truth and reconciliation achieved, then I would never vote for that party.
Why? Simply because I would know that the united front is only a bandaid put on a gaping wound, which will not hold. The ensuing rupture could be worse than what is being experienced under the current administration.
The UPP as presently configured is like an aging elephant limping to the dying field. If you have doubts, look around. Where are the former Party legends? See any of them around?
Baldwin last Thursday sounded his age. He is trying, but only maybe to stem some of the pain which he helped to cause by his neglect to nip things in the bud early.
If the three MPs still have political aspirations, they should immediately approach the governor general and state their lack of confidence in the political leader of the UPP, and declare they are ready to form the new opposition.
At least the people will see a positive step taken to do some healing. Notice I said three MPs.
One made the fourth MP but slipped out when he saw his opportunity, and is slyly waiting for Pringle’s demise in the party to pounce on the leadership. His chances are zilch for all kinds of reasons.
However, they should think of forming a new political entity. Isaac will not give in easily, and the party will not ask her to resign. They don’t seem to have the intestines to do that.
Parties come and go, and the UPP has outlived its shelf life. The best alternative for the MPs is to form a new party. With the mood for change in the country, they stand a good chance of success.

Their can be no unity because the Chairman Gisele Isaac does not want unity. She flourishes on division and chaos.
I don’t see what is the big problem. These 2 were DULY ELECTED at a Duly Called CONVENTION. They were not appointed, but ELECTED!!!! Why can’t people accept the results of a DEMOCRATIC process??
UPP just full of back and forth, nah much unity in sight.

UPP IS DONE!!! FANETO!!!!
I once had great respect for Baldwin Spencer. But no more. Giselle Isaac disrespected and shouted on both he and Lovell in a Party Meeting. And they took it. She told them they had no standing because they were not elected to the Executive. Do you think the ABLP would ever have disrespected Papa or Lester or John St. Luce like that? Lester was made Leader Emeritus as a sign of ongoing respect. Sir Robin sits on the Front Bench even though he is a Back Bencher. In true African tradition that is how you honour your Elders.
Agreed!
Even if a new party is formed, the same members are in it… So, all their bad ways will follow to the new party.
It is a sad state where the parry is at present.
This is entirely on the shoulders of Pringle and Giselle.
They are calling on the duly elected prime minister, Gaston Browne, to step aside.
Why?
They think he is incompetent.
The people do not want an exchange.
They want change.
Pringle does not have the knowledge, education nor leadership accumen of Gaston.
Gaston, though is making education look like preschool knowledge.
One would shiver to learn that Gaston has a bachelor’s degree.
Pringle on the other hand is happy that he has someone to blame because it is not him.
He knows that he could not lead us out of a phone booth.
We want leadership that can take us out of the quagmire that we are in.
Pringle doesnt have what it takes.
They were duly elected.
However they can see that they are losing.
They are disingenuous.
They know that they are not in controll of the local votes.
Yet they continue to give the people false hopes.
Gieslle, Pringle, for live of party and country step.aside and save Dominica.
