Is Dr. Pickering out of Walwyn’s NDP?
Many claim that both Hon Pickering—the Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Resources and Labour—and new Co Leader of Government business, Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (AL), do not enjoy a good personal relationship.
Hon Pickering is a founder of NDP 1.
Dr. Pickering Out!
While Dr Pickering did not respond to Mr Walwyn’s imposed deadline a few months ago to say, if he was with the new party boss, it remains unclear who Dr Pickering will be running with, come next election.
In an NDP 1 Executive meeting last night November 27, 2018, former Independent Candidate, Mr Hipolito D. Penn, was chosen as the man to replace Hon Pickering, on Walwyn’s wing of the party for District seven.
It now means that Dr Pickering has been forced from the party and now has to make a decision of who he will run with.
Many speculate that he is with the NDP II—called Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM)—headed by former Minister, Honourable Ronnie W. Skelton (AL).
It remains to be seen, if Dr Pickering declares his hand, which will result in the collapse of the 'Smith-Led' Administration, since it will not be able to govern under the Westminster system of Government with a mere six seats.

Dr. Pickering, he may not like the new leadership of the party but he keep his dignity and loyalty to his party. He didn't turn around and shamefully put the party he serve with for many years in disrepute. I admire his man's principle... Skelton should take a page from his book and stick it on his forehead.
You want out just honorable walk out.
since NDP1 bypass Dr. Done Deal is because he no longer with them and all of them know that including the Dr. that he so loyal to.
NDP 2 Know that he with them, but making no noise
Dr. Done Deal knows he is with NDP 2, but not resigning cos he so loyal to the next Dr and don't want them to dissolve the house cos all of them will be without their fat check, and he Dr. Done Deal will be asked or will be fired as minister. It might also mean another primary schooler from NDP 1 would jump the floor to the new opposition and form the government because then it would be 7 opposition and 6 NDP. Can you see the confusion and caios in our BVI, natures little secret???
Well now we no more little secret, because mouth open and all the secret is revealed in corruption, disloyalty and crookedness. We are watching cos as soon as they dissolve the house you will know who is who. Imagine Action Man take back his word saying the people want him, want him what and who the people?? Time will tell.
