Hon Turnbull confirms link-up with PVIM
Following his resignation from the party on Wednesday, November 14, 2018, Hon Turnbull, is now of the view that members in his former political allegiance, have reached a place where they feel they can now ‘buy loyalty.’
Loyalty not for sale
“That is absolutely clear that I am no longer with the NDP,” he said, affirmatively in an interview with TV Journalist, Ms Cathy O. Richards.
“I am joining and have joined the PVIM, which is the Progressive Virgin Islands Movement,” he pointed out, referencing the new political party—with plans to take the Territory forward.
“It’s a group of like-minded people… A grassroots organisation… People that want to take this country back to the basics, where the people of the Virgin Islands (VI) and the country, comes first,” the former NDP Officer/Chaplain revealed.
“The beauty about the group so far, is that there’s a very good mix of people… there is some of the elder persons, as well as a great dynamic of younger people and I think that balance, in terms of advice, transition, [and] in terms of leadership… that’s what we’re representing right now,” Hon Turnbull said.
The PVIM, according to sources, started its organization about a month ago, following the Saturday, June 23, 2018, election of Honourable, Myron V. Walwyn (AL), as the NDP Chairman, replacing outgoing Premier, Dr the Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL).
VINO had previously reported that sources close to PVIM said, the party was form based on how many of the members felt the NDP congress was allegedly manipulated, to produce a win for Hon Walwyn.
In addition, several party members and political pundits have publicly accused the NDP of lacking transparency, integrity and accountability.
‘Head & body’ sick
Speaking on the PVIM, he disclosed, “our mission is simple, go back to the basics, go back to what it means to represent, to serve people… give the power back to the people and let them choose who they want.”
“For me, I am absolutely comfortable with this new group, the information, the transparency, the accountability, the conversations… From even before 2017—last year—my position is not to try to embarrass anyone.”
He explained, “...my position and the reason why I’ve been speaking up [publicly] is because I have been doing it privately.”
“Persons might have different views and I welcome their views… but if you take the time to listen to where I’m coming from… from being in this government now, and the things that you hear persons say… you have members leaving [NDP], there is something wrong… if the head is sick the whole body is sick,” Hon Turnbull said.

Some candidates have a mild mannerism while others are like a BULL, always forceful and charging forward not bad but not good either BALANCE IS THE KEY.
Remember vote for the person's who have our territory's best interest not who want to gain financially and is also power hungry.
You done start to lie imagine if you are deputy premier of this country?
