    NJAR is a cool dude and can be a candidate, but I guess it's a dream for someone who sees the potential in him being a successful politician, but it's not on his mind right now.

    Glendon, if you choose to run, run! New ideas are always welcomed. We can’t keep running on the same old manifestos that we have been peddling for the last 40 - 50 years. The youths are the future. Do what your mind and heart tell you and ignore the noise.

    He has no intention of becoming a politician. He’s already successful in whatever he does.

    Cindy is idle and will post anything, especially FAKE NEWS on her live, tabloid news site, and her talk show just to get people to support her. Why doesn't she run for politics?
    IDK whose worst: She, Willock, Joejack, or Simeon Pope.

    Hear dis ya Y’all! Where is smoke there is always some level of fire, is not ? Life has taught us that. It is so easy to qualify for residency and belonger status ( citizenship), giving the opportunity to run for election in two twos . With the generous compensation package for one of the easiest in the world so why not. The dearth of local political experience limits locals from not seeing the forest for the weeds being so high. Is elected office seen as a passport to personal gain? The shortsightedness has already created locals being a minority in their own homeland and they seem quite happy with a what is the problem attitude, until something hits close to home for comfort. Again, failing to see to see the forest for the weeds. Virgin Islanders better awaken quickly from their deep slumber and burst loose and out of their nonchalant attitude and behavior. How does Turks and Caicos manage their immigration and Labour issues? There is a choice 1) let things happen or 2) act peacefully for change.
