Youth Have The Majority Vote

Youth Have The Majority Vote:

The youth of our island are in the majority and need to act responsibly in registering themselves and electing the best persons from the various platforms to govern our country.

 

The time has come for the technology kids to move into political gear by electing the persons who are prepared to work to develop Antigua for Antiguans first, while developing young people as political interns, in a planned move to handover to a more youthful generation of politicians.

Elections are in the air and if we are to move into a new normal state, this election must be meaningful to the majority sector in our island population, the youth of Antigua and Barbuda.

 

The former middle-aged politicians in the world of technology are really old and unfortunately it is becoming very difficult to get these old granddads to hand over to the youth and go home to play with the great-grands. After this election the young people of this island will either have all the say or no say at all. And, if they complain or refuse to cooperate they will have no one to blame but their own failure to take the wheel.

Engaging with young people they complain they have been taught to analyze and prove conclusively in their studies abroad, at schools in the region, further North and throughout the capitals of the world.

 

Returning home all they see is the purposeless of their existence as they are forced to follow these old people cannot see into the future, who cannot code, and are locked in a world they have destroyed. Worse, they will long be dead when the world climate mess they created is expected to blow the globe apart.

With youth in the majority, it is time for young people’s groups and associations to recognize that the future is theirs. The world of the older folks is also old and as useful as the typewriter in the digitized world, and the young people are fully aware that there is a blind man at the wheel.

 

The time has come for the young people to take the wheel or shut up as the current lot of antediluvian corruption sink the island.

  2. Sad to say our youths are educated and they do have the opportunity to acquire a tertiary education but at the end of the day they remain mentally immature and are not critical thinkers so that sounds decisions can be made. Our youths should realize a govt who has focused in erecting a university cares for the future of young people and the wellbeing of their families

    • If they care so much about the future of youths and their families then why are so many without work? Why are many on a shady job programme for years on end? Why are they also being used and abused for chump change by the establishments they have been assigned to work under this same job programme and being deprived of basic employee benefits?

      If they care so much about the youth and their families, why are respectable young women still facing misogyny and backed into a corner due to the slime ball activities by certain men in high positions.

      If they care so much about the youth and their families, why isn’t everyone in this country getting the same push to accomplish greatness? Many are left behind while friends and family of powerful figures or those in high positions are allowed to excel.

      Our nation’s national motto is Each Endeavoring, All Achieving but it’s obvious that a lot are endeavouring but few are achieving.

  3. The #youths need leadership, that’s not hustling them like Pyramid Scheme business model.
    Joanne Messiah and DNA need to step up, and hopefully ushering a #New #Brand, Brand New Style of management of Our Nation.
    While, many of the youths are tired, frustrated, downhearted and down n out, they’re left with few options outside of the political arena to excel, since, for the most part the Private Industry is set up more like a Mob Family, and of cours, so too is the government. Therefore, for decades now the youths had and still have no choice but to play in the filthy #Political Arena, where filthy lucre are the prizes/rewards allegedly!
    Hey, if DNA can establish a good FOOTING, not FOUNDATION with the youths and build on this, the youths will stand a better chance for excelling with their demand and expectations. However, it’s a two way street, therefore the youths are gonna have to trust DNA, and the best thing is #TIME is on their side which is exactly what they need to enact the necessary changes needed, to be in control of their #DESTINY.

    One thing DNA must remember, the youths of today are INTERNATIONALLY groomed, and even though it’s only a microcosm of today’s international lifestyles, you have to manage from this perspective.

    As, 🔥 Burning Spear said, “teach the youths right, cause you might be sitting on a bomb!

    RASpect…

    • @ Ras Smood
      DNA? Stop crying for the moon. They are not doing jack sh-t. UPP is the party that is engaging the ALP and doing the hard work and getting all the criticisms while DNA just sit back. If you think I am going to reward them for that, you lie. I will not choose them over UPP. They are lazy and are just talking the game. They have no party after all these years they still can’t name a slate or have a convention. They do not deserve to win the elections by doing nothing.

  4. @You mean no Performance DNA…😀I’ll “cry to the moon,” any day and ask it to change the ebb n flow of the management of Our Nation, and stop those #Cash #Cows being bred and raised on Our monies from ‘jumping over the moon,” and getting away with their Enrichment Ponze Schemes.
    Hail, Me will even pray to de 🌞 sun and son, fu rain 🔥 fire and brimstone pan dem wicked bombo dat run de Parliament!
