The prime minister is an ixiot. Why would he admit to something like this without any facts? Some body should let him know that when he speaks, he speaks not only for himself, but for the thousand of supporters who are depending on the UPP to retain the government. By stating such, you are giving cause for concern amongst your supporters. Some may see this as an indication and leave for the other side. The worst thing that can happen to a nation is to be led by a fool.

"" The greater the difficulty,the more glory in surrmounting it.A skilfull pilot gain his reputation from flying through storms and tempests""

It is not in easy times that ability is demonstrated,it is in times of difficulity,and the ability you demonstrate during those times that determines your competence.Anyo ne can build a beautiful home with $1,000,000, but not all can do so with $100,000.No one ever said the world is without challenges,when they begged for our votes they should have know that they may have to face some,or did they think it would be roses without thorns.Too sad.

The Prime Minister Is correct about losing support in this economic situation,becau se it was right after the global collapse of the market that people started to express enormous disappointment in him.We must not forget the reason we gave him a second term is because he did such a great job in his first term.The collapsed market changed a lot of things:the prime minister had to make some painful decision to cut jobs because the nation couldn't afford to keep that many employees on its payroll. In addition to that,other business(hotels ,restaurants,st ores,etc.)had to layoff for the same reason,but every body blames prime minister spencer for it all.

Dig it what also hit me is the article "Septic Tank Sewage by the Ton" is currently placed right above this article. The picture, in the above article, that some are complaining about represents what the PM is speaking.

What do you expect to hear from the chief dunce. The only thing that he is interested in is filling up his passport with stamps from other countries and getting air miles so he can still travel for free when he get throw out.

They are some who believes that "taxes" will save the economy this year and impprove the GDP! So they believe taxing us "mercilessly" will somehow spur growth! Where are the creativity in decent jobs, FDI, and ensuring Local talents (home and abroad) are NOT left out of nation-building ? And, why have those "parasites" overseas responsible for FDI have now decided to "compete" with their own native land by setting up shops in neighboring islands? What a way to show love and pride of country? Yet, we continue to let things stay the way they are, and, not go out there and fish for an entire village! Tenman, if we make the waters "murky" how are we going to any fish to caught? Yet, a "bad-minded" and "vengeful" fisherman will see to it that his "loyal" customers get all the best and biggest fish he has, while leaving the "scraps" to others!

Baldwin is the most easily underrated politician! Check this...when he saw the country falling apart financially, he turned to Lovell, not because of his financial acumen, but because he would have to take the blame if it fell apart.

So how now can Lovell challenge him on the basis of doing better? It doesn't get any mightier than Minister of Finance. If you are the Minister of Finance and things are getting worse then you have to take some blame. How then can you tell your Party colleagues that as Leader you will make the economy better?

Yep! PM BS has pulled a Machiavelli stunt on Lovell...and poor Lovell hasn't even seen it coming. The sad truth is Lovell won't put his resignation on Baldwin's desk and demand a new start...no he has now been sucked into deep waters without a paddle. It is not in his DNA to stand up for anything. Instead he is quite happy to allegedly Blame Cort (another eunuch) for the failure of this economy in the UPP back-rooms!

**Dig It** » 2012-03-14 11:55

Wow, did the PM say "those systems that practice so-called Western democracy?" As far as I know only "despots" talk like that! Mr PM it is time you put that "book" to rest and keep your "ambitions" to yourself! The fact of the matter is you need to stop trying to "fool" the people that your motivations are not of "selfishness" in doing the best for your party and the country! If that was the case you would have curb or stop the wasteful spending on projects or misappropiation of public funds, you would have not set-up a Tribunal, or even amend the Representation of the Peoples Act! And, Mr PM you are losing support NOT only for your "lies" and "deceit" but for losing-touch with the people, especially, those in your constituency!

"Keep tongue from speaking evil and your lips from speaking deceit"

**Lester Baldwin** » 2012-03-14 11:48

Everytime our PM says something nowadays I am left amazed that he still has a job of running a country!!!

Our PM says this ... "Any government anywhere in the world, especially those systems that practice so-called Western democracy, any government operating in this environment right now would either be totally unpopular, or would have seen their popularity waning somewhat." ... First of all what does he mean by "so-called Western democracy" ? Is that his way of showing Chavez he is "with him"? Is he showing us he does not believe in this western system? Is that why he continues to break the rules of our Parliament so blatantly?

And the fact that he practically gave up because of "hard challenges" in the world and "challenging times" ... I would like to ask the PM if any government around the region have been returned to government during these challenging times? Why is he saying any government will be unpopular?

The UPP can keep trying to blame this and blame that ... at the end of the day they better blame each other when they get swept out of government!!!

Mr. PM you have dissapointed the people of Antigua and Barbuda. Now that you and your collegues have begun deficating in high g**, (elected to high offices) you have forgotten the poor people who have placed you there to improve their survival. You brought guns on your own people in grays farm just to demolish a building. Yet to date, a replacement has not being done. You continue to dig deeper and deeper into the poor mans pockets with taxes and young people cannot get jobs. How can you get support Mr. PM under such conditions?

**BAD 2 DA BONE** » 2012-03-14 11:15

Who feels it knows it and Dr. BS is feeling it in his Nen nen. What has the UPP done for the people? How does he account for overspending MY TAX MONIES on over priced buildings of his chief supporters, A 7 Million Fence at Yasco, A car park to house animals, used engines for 47 million & His inability to secure investors & create jobs. Yep this is the formular for getting re-elected if I ever saw one.
What a waste of space this PM is. I wish he would do us all a favor and test his re-election viability by calling elections NOW.

**ANTIGUAN WOMAN** » 2012-03-14 10:48

You do not even deserve the two yrs you have left,Do you think we,re that foolish to give you five more.Think again.BTW,what will be your trump card this time around? Remememer you cant use the IHI matter anymore.You foolish man.

**PLM** » 2012-03-14 09:18

Succession what? The PM has another 7 good years at the helm. As for “losing support”, the PM still has strong unequivocal support from real Antiguans. We’re going to finish Lester “permanent amnesty” Bird and his foreign brigade once and for all in 2014.

**Seeing Clearly** » 2012-03-14 09:18

Lovell the PM is blocking you. He gave you the leadership to gain your undivided support under the guise that the UPP can't win without him. That's a lie. Ask Dr. Newton, PM BS is the most disappointing politican in Antigua. He has lost respect from his own Gray-Green. He has lost trust and public confidence. He has exposed himself as being disloyal to his own defenders Ask His Right Hand Senator from Gray's Farm--Steward. He can't attract any financiers. If Spencer leaves, Lovell you can take the party into victory with Lester Bird heading the ALP. But if Spencer stays Dog drink your juice. Get rid of Spencer Lovell... The UPP needs you...NOW or we dead in 2014.

**a wa ya!!!** » 2012-03-14 08:34

Dear Dr BS , you feel its only support u lose .. bwoy i wonder what world this man is living in.. wait i forget a dictatorship lol .. castro, fidel, sadam all the way .. what a joke this man ya be ...

**Bluddy Bloke** » 2012-03-14 08:25

It is extremely sad Mr. PM to hear that you are loosing support. Ofcourse you can't blame no one else but yourself, your administration and the policies that you implement. You were elected on the basis that the squeeze would be eased from the poor man's pocket. Inaddition we expected jobs, a better health care system, less taxes, and the list can go on. Unfortunately you gave us lies, deception, arrogance and alot of unfilled promises. Infact your administration has displayed a considerable degree of a lack of vision. Please bearin mind that where there is no vision the people would perish

**tenman** » 2012-03-14 08:19

During the times when Cort was telling us Quote:

With the UPP Government, Antigua and Barbuda has been securely positioned in the luxury compartment of our express train to economic growth and stability and peace and prosperity for all ---2009 Budget statement

you lost seats. We were even told, by the great Dr. Cort, that though there was a recession in the US we need not worry because we had enough investors to keep us afloat. The subsequent 3 years have shown GDP decline with a great possibility that the same will happen in 2012. MP Spencer, then as now you and your party, are still in denial.

"So there would be no difficulty as far as that is concerned, and I have made my position clear within the party. I am here not for serving myself this is not a self-serving situation, at least that’s not how I look at it

Then you're most likely loosing your eyesight, as it appears that the vast majority of the populace is not benefiting from your leadership.

**W. Day** » 2012-03-14 06:40

“If I would come to the conclusion that my continuation is not in the best interest of the party or government, I would be the first to so declare and to opt out," the PM said.

Note - Party 1st, Government 2nd. Nowhere is people and or country.
