NDP resignations vindicates Opposition Leader no confidence motion
This was pointed out by Honestly Speaking’s Mr Claude O. Skelton Cline, during his radio broadcast on Tuesday, November 13, 2018, when he hosted guest, businessman Carvin Malone.
He used the occasion to make reference to the fact that the very same issues for which Hon Fahie had premised his motion of no-confidence are the same issues that the government members are now making moves to undermine their own administration.
He posited, “if it was true then, it is true now, it will be true tomorrow.”
Early Elections
The radio host and man of the cloth used the occasion to also make a strident call for elections saying “why sit and allow the country to go through this level of divisiveness.”
Speaking to the issue of By-Elections to be held on January 7, 2019, Mr Skelton-Cline said he has gotten the permission of Hon Fahie, to publicly state his opposition to such given the state of the country and called for General Elections to be held instead.
“If there is going to be an election then let there be an (general) election now……why procrastinate and put the country further through this debacle.”
According to Skelton Cline, it is time to make a decision and let the people vote a mandate for a next government, “that can move this country forward.”
Make the Calls
He said it is time for people the people of the Territory to begin making calls to their representatives demanding that the people be allowed to vote for a renewed mandate and chose new leaders since the NDP cannot be allowed to stay in Office.
According to Skelton-Cline, based on conversations the Opposition Leader would have had with members in government, they are also in favour of early elections given the political turmoil with which the country finds itself in.
Meanwhile businessman, Carvin Malone in supporting the call for early elections, instead of by-elections, questioned why the people of the VI would sit back in silence and not be more vocal on the issue calling it, morally wrong.
