YOUTH VOTE PERSON NOT PARTY!
Youth worldwide are vexed with the world of incoherent adults acting like children. Youth reacting are killing each other until they are old enough to kill the adults, while young enough to get away with it.
The opportunity now arises to use their vote to kill the madness of adults gone wild, in their drunken power wielding and openly corrupt activities.
The time is come for all those who object to the way our own Antiguan people are held back from progressing to VOTE PEOPLE NOT PARTY! The entire country knows who is good, and who is bad, and the time is now to choose wisely.
Forget the Party which forgets you once you have given them power, but vote for the better man on the ballot. People power is the gift for one day in what is supposed to be a five year term, now shrunk to three.
The youth of the nation as the largest voting category could easily control the vote as their numbers suggest, if they could only be rallied to register and vote Person rather than Party. Force the Parties to respect the People with the Youth Vote!
The disrespect for the youth of this country is only second to the way the born Antiguans are ignored, in preference to those brought to our country as overlords, crippling the ambitions of our young.
Recently we saw a youth propelled by brainstorming the best way to contribute to his country, getting scholarships where his college professors helped his eagerness to progress. Universities sent him around the world to see firsthand how he could help his country, only to return to this island slap-down by corrupt management.
This push back by Government placed management, usually not Antiguan people, is punishing our educated youth for their eagerness to push our island forward with new techniques learned, and needed.
When young people become energized in building their country, the must be embraced and encouraged, not made to feel useless, and get shot down by corrupt managers, who fear being exposed and their personal graft interrupted.

Totally in agreement with the above. VOTE PEOPLE NOT PARTY. You must vote for people who give you their word and live up to it. Anthony Smith, Dwayne Gearge, Lamin et al used to go around this Country and in their various Constituencies telling us Gaston Browne and ABLP was the worst thing that happened to this Country and all for the sake of the mighty corrupt $$$$$$ dollar they have become a part ot the ABLP Cabal and is not shamed by it at all. Youth of Antigua those aren’t the type people you give your vote to or want to emulate or you become just as they are. SELFISH AND GREEDY
This is another desperate, pathetic attempt by a UPP member to try and galvanize the youth but the youth are not as stupid as the writer assumes they are. They can see that you, the writer, has no confidence in your leader Pringle and have no problems throwing him under the bus either.
So those in All Saints West who previously voted for Anthony Smith should vote for him again in a few weeks? Candidate over party right?🤔
This Election Is About More Than Party Loyalty — It Is About the Future of Antigua and Barbuda
Antiguans and Barbudans, regardless of which party we have supported in the past, this moment calls for careful reflection.
A government elected to serve for five years has called a snap election after only two. It is reasonable for citizens to ask why—and to honestly examine the condition of our country today.
Over the past two years, many people across our nation have expressed concern about:
• The rising cost of living• Increasing youth crime• Unresolved serious crimes• Challenges within our health services• Ongoing water shortages affecting households• Poor road conditions across the island• Questions surrounding accountability in important national matters• Concerns arising from national controversies such as Vehiclegate• The delivery and reliability of essential public services
These issues affect all of us, regardless of political affiliation.
Many hardworking taxpayers continue to make sacrifices every day while still waiting for consistent access to some basic services. When communities struggle with regular water shortages while the tourism sector continues operating without disruption, it naturally raises questions about priorities and fairness.
This election should not divide us.
Instead, it should encourage us to reflect together on what kind of governance we want moving forward.
This is not about party loyalty.
It is about accountability.
It is about transparency.
It is about strengthening our country and protecting the dignity and future of Antigua and Barbuda.
Each voter must now ask:
Are we satisfied with the progress made over the past two years?
Are essential services improving at the pace we expected?
Is this the right time for a snap election?
Is it acceptable that citizens sometimes face difficulty accessing beaches on their own shores?
Is it reasonable that Antiguans and Barbudans carry heavy tax responsibilities while concerns remain about how national benefits are shared and reinvested within our country?
At moments like this, elections become more than routine political events. They become opportunities for citizens to send a clear message about the standards of leadership we expect—leadership that explains its decisions openly, earns public confidence, and demonstrates readiness to serve the full term it was given unless there is a compelling national reason to do otherwise.
At this important moment, Antiguans and Barbudans have the opportunity to shape the direction of our country by thinking carefully, asking questions confidently, and voting with independence of mind and commitment to long-term national progress.
As we approach the polls, let us vote thoughtfully, responsibly, and with the future of Antigua and Barbuda at heart. Long live Antigua and Barbuda. 🇦🇬
Make Antigua Great Again: Election on the Horizon as Crisis Deepens
As Antigua and Barbuda approaches its national election in three weeks, 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 never 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.
