Lovell says PM Browne should just call the elections and stop the gimmickry and trickery

19

The list of promises made by Prime Minister Gaston Browne on ABS Television on Sunday night, October 9, is nothing but electioneering, says Harold Lovell, Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), as he makes another call for Browne to call the elections now.

Among several other undertakings, Browne promised to settle back pay to civil servants and debts to creditors and to increase the minimum wage.

However, Lovell says these promises are merely election gimmicks by a desperate government that knows it is about to lose power. And while the Prime Minister has expressed confidence in winning all 17 electoral seats, he appears to be running scared, the UPP Leader says.

Accordingly, Lovell says the Browne Administration is hoping its promises will secure a win at the polls.  But, he adds, the people will no longer be fooled by these types of trickery.

Meanwhile, Lovell says that certain utterances that PM spouted on national television made no sense – especially borrowing money to fulfill some of these promises.  He notes that it is citizens and residents who will have to repay these loans – out of the same monies they are now being promised.

The Political Leader adds that the timing of these promises – on the eve of general elections – is suspect, and it shows that the Labour Party Government is doing everything to remain in power.

Lovell notes that the UPP has no issue with the relief now being offered to residents; but such assistance should have been granted some time ago, he says, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.-REAL NEWS

  3. Isnt it interesting that #HFWL questioning the government’s plan to borrow and saying you will have to pay back yet he has promised even the moon to you people yet he hasn’t said how all this is going to be financed. If you people are not convinced that those #UPPNEARGA plans are just pie in the sky then I don’t know what else you need to convince you.

  5. King Lyadd Lovell Limpy Joe well knows that election is CONSTITUTIONALLY DUE in March 2023.

    • @Sherfield Bowen Shot.. – exactly my earlier point, is there a specific mandated date that the election must be held? Yes.
      Has Lovell lost? No.
      It certainly sounds to me like Lovell is trailing in the polls and simply wants the election over with. In all of his lofty welfare ideas he fails to mention how he plans to pay for the massive new spending.
      I’d guess with massive new taxes, making work less profitable than welfare.
      That’ll work fine until other people’s money runs out…

  6. UPP kept the election date in BACK POCKET, SIDE POCKET, BREAST POCKET and PITA POCKET.

    So stop being a 🤡 Lovell Limpy Joe

  7. Lovell just give up from Politics and ride out into the sunset, you’re old and tired but still so eager to become a Prime Minister.

    On another note; somebody please tell Tevaughn Harriette to cancel the upcoming interview with J Truth on the 18th of October because he can’t even verbalize a proper sentence and want to be in Politics? Boy go siddung and don’t make a fool of yourself nobody wants to hear that shitee.😂🤣

  8. If the UPP only follow what Grenada and St Kitts did to win the 2022 election, they will win a landslide victory. But if they continue on their current path, they will be in opposition for a next five years
