The time is right for Baldwin to give the ALP the biggest blow of a live time. They are scattered and this is the best time to call fresh election. No way they can unite in the next 90 days. With that UPP will have dealth with Daniel as well and still remain the majority. Because Lester would not be fit enough to campaign so Errol will win his seat. Assot is at his wost. No money to spent therefore no loyal supporters and Molwyn is in a big war with Gaston. if I were Baldwin I would call a surprise election now and get fresh mandate of five more years.

The whole nation knows about their leadership ambitions and maneuvering. Why the joint statement which should have come from the leadership of the party ? Molwyn is fooling himself if thinks we do not believe that he is maneuvering for leadership. I agree 1000 percent with United States. Molwyn & Robin should allow the party to settle and stop tearing down Gaston.

**tenman** » 2012-06-03 00:18

Justin, Robin has already declared his wish to lead the party. One occasion he did this was via the Collin Sampson show on April 19, 2012. You can listen for yourself via the following url www.justin.tv/caribarena/b/315472340. The specific statement can be found at 59 minutes and 40 seconds into the show (simply move the slider to that location). As perhaps an attack against Gaston, a few minutes earlier he stated no one can be appointed as leader. Lester Bird has already made it pellucid that its his wish that Browne lead the party.

Unfortunately Molwyn Joseph forgot to add to his immediate agenda for clarity
• To continue to pursue answers for the IHI rip-off by senior ALP Members
• Sending of guns to South Africa – to kill picky head people by ALP
• Running gun to South America to help the drug cartel by the ALP
• Issuing Promissory Notes to white Americans for millions of Dollard by ALP ministers and how to protect the treasury from there usual habits.

And that is just the beginning.

**UNITED STATES** » 2012-06-02 19:00

The two senior leaders of ALP.Could someone tell me what is really meant by that.Even though Gaston came into the party after those two men.He is a senior member,his position determines that.What have those two so called senior members brought to the party,lately.Ga ston is a younger,smarter person with lots of ideas.He is trying make changes within the party.He has a whole different vision for the Alp than Joseph and Yearwood the so called senior members.Get away from your negative ways of thinking and begin to think out side of the box.The days of dirty,abrasive politics in Antigua and Barbuda are over.Begin to tell people what your visions are if re-elected into office.Talk about your ideas,just do not oppose because you are in the Opposition at this time.Antiguans and Barbudans are a smart group of people and they will see right through you.Change your ways of thiking or the people will change you.The so called two senior members of the ALP.There are no guarantees that you win your seats in 2014.

**R. Berry** » 2012-06-02 15:22

In party fighting (maneuvering) and uncertainty at the top...the benchmark for sound leadership and a one party front..gotta love politics in A&B...not shock and awe like George Bush, but shame and ignorance...wha loss!

**marco polo** » 2012-06-02 15:00

So very sad....

**justin** » 2012-06-02 10:05

Maybe both Molwyn & Yearwood should make a statement of CLEAR intent instead of playing around the bushes, thern they might be respected. Yes I remember Cutie's comment and it is bang on!

**comrade** » 2012-06-02 09:55

gaston is truly a mad greedy liar

**Wang** » 2012-06-02 09:32

When Gaston done bang Molwyn he should not run him. Put Basu in his place. Molwyn cant win his seat again so me dont know where he ago. Arwe no want he.

**Ashfa** » 2012-06-02 09:14

Molwyn would do anything to become leader of the ALP. From what I know he has no use for Gaston and Asot, it was Molwyn with the help of MAX Hurst who wrought the new constitution that governs the labour party. It was all done with the intent to see the demise of both GASTON and ASOT after the Gaston challenge Lester for the leadership. Molwyn thanks to the late start of the 2009 elections you got a win, won’t be that way come 2014. Remember what Cutie said of you. “You and your righteous indignation”

**Colin** » 2012-06-02 08:32

Cool Ruler is a blue version of Tanny Rose: listen to them for even a short period & their basic lack of integrity will lead them to argue today against what they supported yesterday - the idea is to blindly oppose whatever the other side is doing.

**Truth to Power** » 2012-06-02 00:02

Why are these morons pledging support for a horse who is not in the race ? Molwyn does not even have the conviction to seek a leadership convention and now that Brown has given it to him on a platter he is running away. Brown now has the opportunity to cease control of the party and a few months later go to convention and ratify his leadership of the party since these weak wanabe leaders have just undermined their own leadership chances. By the time Molwyn is ready to make his announcement Brown will be firmly in the saddle. I am so disappointed with Molwyn. He has left me no other choice but to support Brown. Then again, If I was objective in the first place I would have recognised that Brown is the better man.

**The Voice** » 2012-06-01 23:47

Wow! Gaston's moustache makes him ineligible for leadership and makes Molwyn more appealing. This is debased reasoning. It is well known that gaston is more of a peoples man and enjoys greater national popularity than anyone in the ALP including Lester. Gaston is more Loyal to the Labour Party than the others and even though he is a fighter does not come across as anyone who will mash up the party. Actually, it was Molwyn who after the 2005 leadership convention division who advised Lester to mash up the ALP and to start a new party without Gaston & Asot. By the way, I heard Gaston had all of them eating out of his hands at Executive tonight. Thosse of you who are fighting Gaston will end up with no seed.

**STEVE** » 2012-06-01 23:03

Worst is yet to come. Gaston sees that he will not be the leader and he will MASH IT UP FIRST. I have been saying it time and time again. Hope people will see now.

**tenman** » 2012-06-01 23:01

From the Sideline, I have heard LB, within the last year, state publicly that he supports Browne to take over from him. He stated this with Browne present via ZDK

..

**Vicnes** » 2012-06-01 22:13

There is going to be civil war inside of the ALP if Lester Bird croaks. The Gaston Brown loyalists want blood, and they will try to take down Molwyn and Yearwood to the detriment of the party.

Lester Bird can prevent the bloodbath by announcing heir apparent but he will never do that. He would rather hold on to the leadership position until the last breath.

**Opinion** » 2012-06-01 21:39

When you check the likability of candidates I belive Molwyn would score higher then gaston. I for one looking at the appearance think that Brown's moustache makes me think of a certain Germain madman. While Molwyn seems more mature and settled for the leadership position. Lester has to really admit that it is time to quit. If he was not fit to work for the entire day he should not be in active politics any longer. He might have the will and the brain, but sadly the body is weak and not willing to go that far anymore. That is part of life and part of growing old. He need to gracefully retire and let a younger person take over. The party is bigger then Lester. But the party should fully honor his service to party and country whenever the occasion present itselfs

**From the Sideline** » 2012-06-01 21:28

It is clear that the UPP has the ALP right where theyb want them. Divided. And to divided and rule is the best strategy in politics. Sad but a true fact. ALP is divided and it now shows up in the open. Before the next electrion much has to happen and painfull decission would have to be made if the ALP ever is to consider to have a change to win. Even Baldwin understand that he would not let ALP use the division in his party to get out of hand. He could have confronted Daniel in the open, but he is much to smart for that. He will deal with him at the right time.

**tenman** » 2012-06-01 19:38

Cool Ruler you are a strange man. In an earlier post today:

After crying about Daniel you now tell Dadliman, Daniel is no issue, why is your mind all over the place? In many ways you remind me of Winston (aka Fled), no focus and mouth engaged before brain

**Microwave chef** » 2012-06-01 17:48

One, now is an unelected minster in the UPP government and the other?? lets not even go there.
maybe you know everything and that will make it hard for you to learn anything ....from history but Chef can see why you are busy deciding if the WPP is value for money or even new( the later is not even a point for debate anymore) and wait for more information and confirmation My beloved Antigua is being raped and beaten to death by the UPP proudly cheered on by her new master the IMF and we all have just seen what they do in there spare time...about the same....

**Microwave chef** » 2012-06-01 17:42

Gaston somehow you act as if you are heir apparent to the ALP leadership and to lead ALP into the next election. Did you ever stopt to think and pause to find out what happened to the last two heirs appernants in the ALP

**Cool Ruler** » 2012-06-01 17:24

Dadliman I feel your pain, keep ranting and raving. Don't worry about Daniel were still giving him enough rope to hang himself

**Microwave chef** » 2012-06-01 17:10

Mr Gaston Browne : the mouth runeth over with that, what fills the heart most. ;-)

or if you never had to hide under the bed it will not be the first place you look. :-*

The only one who seems to think he should lead the ALP instead of Lester is you my friend, and guess what ? not with my vote Sir, you are not ready to run a supermarket let alone Chefs beloved Antigua. so far it looks like chef will go to the beach on election day because UPP is not an option and ALP needs to get real.
Gaston, Lester, Asot. Dr2 PM BS and the Shoulin kitchen cabinet??
I Chef will rather eat sheeet and Dy( or eat Chinese food for a week) with the same taste and effect, before wasting one more second on the you political clowns. Molwyn , Robin grow a pair and take charge because the children are destroying the yard.

**Anonymous** » 2012-06-01 17:10

This is the mature Molwyn ? Give me an aspirin. This response is totally unnecessary. No one lied on him about his leadership ambitions and his jockeying for power. He himself did not deny his leadership aspirations so whats the issue ? Shame on you Molwyn. How could you make Gaston pull you off your crease so easily ? Cool ruler you are right, this is Gaston's time. I am convince that they cant manage Gaston.

**red** » 2012-06-01 17:09

The labour party should have already had anew leader long time
I feel the is going to mess up like 2009!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

**DadliMan** » 2012-06-01 16:18

And there is only peace and tranquility on the UPP side, right? No in-fighting; no back-stabbing; right?

Don't look now, but we are all waiting on the gutless wonder, Dr Dr BS, to do something about Daniel; to do something about Clarvis; to re-shuffle his Cabinet as he promised to do since 2009, and again in 2012.

**Cool Ruler** » 2012-06-01 15:49

Keep the statements coming, Gaston over to you! These are the same discredited men may of you want back in power. They will pretend to be united for the election then after they will be at each others throat again like a bunch of pirates.

**Dig It** » 2012-06-01 14:56

Well, this is becoming more and more emba**ing to the people, and, certainly playing in the hands of the PM, his cronies, and the party's Chief Loyal Supporter! Obviously, the ALP, not only has a "leadership" and "communication" problem but a "wreckage" one, if it doesn't turn it around by the end of the year! It is sad that the people have to be in the "cross-fires" of these nasty "public-interna l-fights," instead, of getting solutions to their plights or an opposition that fully supports their causes and struggles! Clearly, they are too much man-crab in the hole, as the one with the biggest-gumby is yet to come out!

**Dr Dr** » 2012-06-01 14:39

Maulwyn you have told many persons that you going challenge Lester - why the double speak? Time for you guys to make the challenge or shut up!

I heard Gaston say on ZDK - to the Leader Lester Bird - that when he Gaston was ready to challenge, he would do so up front not behind Bird's back!

I'm sorry, but i think that both Robin and Maulwyn lack the guts to face down Lester Bird! In any case, which of them would support which? Partnership is leakyship!

**Ian Best** » 2012-06-01 14:33

"I am aware that two senior members of the Party have issued a joint statement publicly expressing their disappointment and that they are obviously maneuvering for a leadership convention."

This statement is clear. Gaston says he is aware that they are maneuvering for a leadership convention. The sentence is conjunctive and that they have issued a statement. He never quoted them. Guilty consciences ? Are they just week to sate their leadership ambitions. Are they gonna continue to cower and leave the leadership issue unsettled while undermining the party. This is a recipe for ALP to lose the next general elections.

**Fred** » 2012-06-01 14:27

Gentlemen, Gaston's statement that Molwyn and Robin are maneuvering and lobbying for leadershiship and Gaston's **sment is spot on. Everybody know so I dont know who Molwyn and those who support him are seeking to fool.

What was the need for Molwyn and Robin to issue separate statements without the advising the Leader or the Chairman ? Is this pure coincidence or reassure the public ? Isnt this a function of the leadership, the leader and the Chairman. Gentlemen, you need to come better than this. IF you are maneuvering for leadership so what. If you are offered an opportunity for a convention to become leader and you refuse it, then you should put up and shut up.

**Mitchel** » 2012-06-01 14:08

Molwyn you leadership ambitions are dead even before they started. You must first win your seat to become a leader and winning your seat will be a very difficult task.
You have been chasing leadership for two decades and it will continue to elude you until you pass to the great beyond. The Long Lane accord to make you leader failed, the Carlisle arrangement failed, and this last desperate effort to lead the ALP shall fail. Give it up Molwyn. By the way, we need evidence of your financial management degree. If you cant provide the evidence to assert your claim, then we dont want to hear anything from you about transparency and accountability. By the way, even an old Chinese certificate will do but you must account.

**DadliMan** » 2012-06-01 13:52

It would be great if Gaston concerned himself with the things that really mattered to the people of A&B. We are getting our tails waxed by this wicked administration everyday, and Gaston is as quiet as a church mouse. The fencing scandal - not a peep from Gaston. The Chinese power plant - not a peep from Gaston. According to him, in his visit with the night reptile, he is waiting for concrete evidence before he speaks on these matters.

On the other hand, without even speaking to either Molwyn or Robin, he can interpret their statement of regret to mean a call for a leadership convention. Strangely, on this matter which is of little consequence to people who have to choose between buying a bread or walking to work, he doesn't feel the need to wait for concrete proof.

They are necessary evils, but sometimes, I swear to God that I wish we could line-up all these politicians before a firing squad.
