‘The people have NOT spoken’ – radio show caller
“The people haven’t spoken…they are too ignorant,” said the caller to the host during Tuesday night’s June 16, 2015 airing of the show.
“The people didn’t say anything when washers and TVs and fridges and white envelopes were being passed out to ignorant people. They haven’t spoken yet. Those things have to stop,” the irate caller said.
“Those things are corruption…as far as I am concerned there has not been an election,” he said. “Not a fair one. The people have not spoken. They have to stop receiving bribes. The people need to get intelligent.”
He said that during the period of the dissolution of the House of Assembly politicians were powerless, “like Baygon on fly.”
The caller further said the politicians realised that the power is in the people and hence they tried to buy their votes by bribing them and giving gifts.
“It is real…those little white envelopes all over the place,” the man said.
In response to the caller, host of the show Doug Wheatley noted that people have been talking a lot about white envelopes and brown envelopes and they talk about contracts being given out at the very last minute and asked whether there is any evidence to substantiate those accusations.
“I am a witness…this thing is real. It is very much real. It is reality. Until something is done right it isn’t done,” the caller said.
Wheatley said that in another Caribbean country it is said that people go into the polling booth and take a picture of the ballot with the x placed for a particular candidate or party and upon leaving the polling station they show it to someone who then gives them money.
He said that here there was a notice that no cell phones were to be used in the polling stations but he said that, apart from the notice, he does not know how it was ensured that no cell phones were used in the polling booths.

The System of Voter Fraud in the BVI
by Them Who Know It
The Set Up… Step 1. First Rep. gives out bribes during election. Step 2. Then when Voter applies for a contract, Rep. know you are corrupt and greedy like them. Step3. Rep. request a percentage from Voter.
Example: If Voter wishes to receive $5000 contracts Rep. will tell Voter to request $8000. …$5000 for Voter $3000 in Rep.'s pocket. That’s the system of corruption in the VI and after election they know who to call on.
I would say 'The End' but there is never no end with greedy people!
dont have it, dont say it.
Take your licks like a man.
Did you really expect the slate you had to win an election? I tell you what put better rules in place and come back with the same group and let's see what happens. Matter of fact, the NDP is hoping you come back with the same group and keep Frazer as the chairman. A snowball in hell has a better chance then that slate and they knew it. Spoke very little about what they would do for the people just nonsense and zingers...
Don't try to insult all the voters, this race was not even close.
I understand that we are passionate about our politics and political party, but this is no excuse for us to become bitter or sore losers. My recommendation would be for the VIP party to conduct a debrief session, find out what their weakness were/are, make the necessary adjustments and regroup “from now” for the next election. Remember; He who fails to plan, plans to fail…it is that simple. Finally, the election result is final…You need to shut-up, take a bow and si-dung!
