ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Social and Political Commentator Donald E. de Castro believes voters who exercise their franchise come Monday June 8, 2015 must vote against the National Democratic Party (NDP) and called for the establishment of a coalition government.

“Do not let the NDP fool you as they have fooled so many young and greedy people. Let me remind you no matter how much paint you put on an old house or white wash a tomb in a cemetery, the house is still old and the people in the cemetery are still dead,” he said in an article sent to this news site.

He said four more years of the NDP would be disastrous and not to the best interest of this Territory, but also expressed reservations about Honourable Julian Fraser RA as Premier. 

Although Mr de Castro is not too pleased about the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) bringing in Biwater and Digicel into the territory, he said the party now has some young and bright newcomers with new ideas...so if we would elect a few strong minded independent candidates we can have a great coalition government,” he said.

Coalition governments work

In a comment to this news site yesterday June 2, 2015, de Castro said that for this territory to move forward, a coalition government is its only hope. “There are coalition governments all over the world and they are working,” he said. “I don’t see why we can’t have a coalition government if they’re working all over the world. It cannot be worse than what we have now,” said de Castro.

“I am hoping that my article will get people to understand the importance of voting…not only who to vote for but more important that they must vote against the NDP,” he told this news site.

PEP committing political suicide

Mr de Castro noted that in the early beginning he thought the People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) would have been a great alternative to both the NDP and the VIP.

“Unfortunately their philosophy was for the Executive Committee not involving the membership. What I am saying for all the months that they were in existence not one single membership meeting was held so all the candidates were picked by the Executive Committee. Eventually, I was told that membership meetings are only held once per year but with a new Party and election date uncertain and you not involving the members. Are you not committing political suicide?” he asked.

    We are more than willing to form a coalition government with the likes of Elford and Dancia because they are decent and honest people.

    Why don't you (Mr. Decastro) say some prayers for the electorate and stop encouraging them to put the country 10 steps backward. Election is at hand and you are still blind to the fact that the NDP is this country's best hope for the future? Maybe you should not vote because your head is still in the sand!

    When the votes are counted on 8 June 2015 and the Government is announced on 9 June it will be - the Incumbent Government have received all 13 seats and then the NDP Government can continue the work that they have started. We are irreplaceable. We are putting back the NDP Government. The party with proven leadership. The only Government who does not have to report how $100 million is spent. The only Government who doe not have to give account for how the people's money is spent. We are the Government who can come last minute and give out contracts and put blinders over the peoples' eyes and still have them wrapped around our finger. Our leader is a leader. Not Frazer. Last Election he had Kishmet now she on our side. Why should she stay with him when he could not even help her with paying her electricity bill and also her hospital bill. She knows to come over to the A-Team where the grass is greener. We are in charge and are the best Party the BVI has ever had. Now talk that Donald de Castro and I beg you to please rest me down. Now dah make sense. HELLLLOOOOO
