SEA COWS BAY, Tortola, VI- In a surprise move, incumbent Third District Representative and Chairman of Progressives United (PU) Hon Julian Fraser RA has endorsed Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM) for the 2023 General Elections of the Virgin Islands.

This announcement was made this evening, April 1, 2023, during the launch of Hon Fraser’s campaign in the Third District at Finc Building in Sea Cows Bay.

Taking to the microphone, Chairman of PVIM Mr Ronnie W. Skelton said he was invited to the launch by Honourable Fraser, a former Virgin Islands Party (VIP) Member.

“I am here this evening on behalf of my team to accept this humble endorsement by your representative Hon Julian Fraser.

“I am also here to throw our full support to the Liberator, Julian Fraser on his quest to the Fifth House of Assembly,” Mr Skelton stated.

Hon Fraser is being challenged in the Third District by VIP candidate Kevin C. Smith aka ‘OJ’ and National Democratic Party (NDP) candidate Aaron F. Parillon.

More details to follow.

    Unity in any case is good. We are all one people. Nothing bad to say like signs of weakness and desperation. What is important is the Unity.

      Voting for a set of people who do not like each other and are after self-interest makes no sense and that is the case in this move. It doesn't matter any way as he will soon be up Balo...stay tuned.

        To @unity, you missed the sarcasm in the message. To be blunt, both of them are number 2s (vip2, ndp2)...that's why it looks and smell like p-uuu. Catch my drift. Weakness and desperation is what it is when you analyze the sarcasm there.

      Despite what these parties saying negative about the VIP will pale in comparison to what will happen if NDP 1 &/or NDP 2 gets into office as they are waiting on them to really tun up the place with what they have on them. Say you heard it here first.

    1) Fraser could not get anyone other than himself to join his political party which says a lot about Fraser as a leader.
    2) Fraser refused to join any other political party.
    3) Fraser refused to become a member of PVIM but pledge to work with them for the elections.
    4) PVIM could not get Fraser to become a member of PVIM but saying they will work with him.
    5) Fraser was always against most of PVIM & their main supporters like the Bishop Cline, CSC and others but now telling us to vote for them.
    I am so glad this circus will be over soon as these people taking us for a$$h%le$.

      You hit the nail on the head. Most of PVIM At-Large candidates and their family lives in District 3. It is all about self. Fraser is trying to secure his district vote by trying to fool the people of the BVI that he is uniting with PVIM for the best for the country. IT IS ALL ABOUT SELF!

    This man Frazer is subtle. He is already peeking into the future. He never made it to Chief Minister or Premier and he knows his time is running out. If he can retain his seat and the PVIM can win enough seats or whatever happens and they become the new Government a Deputy Premier pick for him could be possible. Remember he likes to be in charge of everything even if it is the leader of the Opposition. One thing he and the Representative of the Sixth and other Districts should remember though is that they were elected under the "flag" of a certain party. It seems as though they are now flying different "flags". The thing is what would the people who elected them under one party does now that their representative have changed alliance ?

    Let the NDP and PVIM start to work together. They should have one candidate per district or the votes will get split allowing VIP to get through. They need to be strategic for the good of the country.

    Politics does indeed make strange bed fellows. This is what you call desperation. Two bill headed people joining together to lead this country. I don’t see us getting far under that type of leadership in fact we may be stagnant. Two stubborn people what a thing to tell the king. Think stop light and hospital and NHI. Both ignored any advise given and thus the country reeling from it.

    It's an injustice when these people asks us to vote for them under a certain political banner (VIP, NDP, etc) then decide to cross the floor to another party or affiliate with another party without any regards to their voters. Most politicians or aspiring politicians are arrogant, narcissistic and dishonest, only thinking of how to improve their personal finances and that of their families and cronies. It's such a paradox that these people would believe we are gullible, stupid and corruptible and would continue to be led like sheep to the slaughter. I implore each voter to ensure a strong message is sent to the individuals seeking to be elected to fifth HOA by voting for the persons you deem as incorruptible, focused on their civic duty, honest, puts COUNTRY above Self, can represent us on the world stage, is approachable and (you can add any other positive adjective you desire). Since as a PARTY they aren't able to voice their opinion for fear of losing their position then we should vote PERSONS forcing them to form a Unity Government which might help to restrict them in their capacity to fool the public and steal our hard earned taxes. Good luck to all persons contesting the Elections and may each voter use their conscience to make the wisest decision on whom they think best to move the country forward and stedfast. Remember your vote will also affect those who do not have the privilege to cast a vote. So don't make it about popularity but make it about giving back the power to the people, because we deserve the BEST! May God bless these beautiful Virgin Islands and all of the people who make it their home.

    Fraser has an office in his district so you dont have to go in a bar to look for him. If he is not there he will be at home with his lovely wife.

    Fraser told us whom he would rather align with and I see nothing wrong about that. He is being upfront about it. Now the question is whether the other independents (apart from Perline whom we know is NDP) would align themselves with if successful? Frigstone would be a VIP as I see it. Any ideas about the rest…?

    My vote will be for the leader that will 1. use NHI money to make Olando Smith Hospital more efficient, effective, and affordable to those who use its services. 2. Pay less NHI money to the Private medical centers. 3. Repel the 'greedy bill' 4. Stop the corruption in the awarding of contracts 5. Put in place an efficient mechanism to help with the social problems of housing, and meals for children and elderlies. 6. Invest in e-government. Make government services to the public more efficient.
