    It's obvious that the team hasn't anyone that fit certain ministries. Vincent for health, really. Let's see how this pans out. Sharie coming back to education with this STEAM initiative and no resources or drive to see it mature. A large number of teachers are leaving. The steam engine will move auto pilot, I guess. Every Time, Dick and Harry being transferred to the ministry to join the do nothing gang. Teachers are overworked and underpaid and under appreciated. The education ship is sinking and we are pushing STEAM. There are special needs students who are being neglected because of inadequate human and physical resources. Education is a mess. I applaud the teachers who decide to walk away from the abuse. I really hoped that the other side would have gotten in. Then Mather or Walwyn with their work ethics could have bring something more to education. Every election we end up with a set of misfits. Next four years they do nothing because they lacked the expertise and skill set. They then beg for a chance and they are voted back in to continue doing nothing. Sowande's district will sink further into slum state. He like Andrew took so much under his wings to do nothing of standard with any of them . Nothing has changed but you get the government you deserve.

    I believe in Vincent to fix health and get a new CEO and fresh blood in the management section of the hospital. Also, get the smoke from the incinerator addressed. I also believe in Lorna to help businesses better through trade and address these issues with work permit and the renewal of them so it can become modern day policies and procedures. Kye get the direct flights in 911 and fix the roads. Sharie, please modernize our education system. I know you all can get it done so do not be sidetrack by the noise.

    I want to wish the new ministers of the various ministries success in their ministries. The principal role of any government is to provide the goods and services for its people. What has been happening over the years is that the residents are depending on the government to provide their personal needs. Our country is a developing country and there is need for certain skills in the Territory. The residents tend to look at a plumber or welder or an electrician as demeaning, however, their houses are being built with self-contained facilities. When the time for fixing any problem, they look for a trade man from another country who are trained in those fields. That is why the Ministry of education is preparing some of our youths, boys and girls in the technical fields. May I say that some of those jobs pay as much as $20.00 per hour at some resorts. Instead of being employed in in a store or a supermarket, it is better to learn a skill and enjoy a better salary.

    The world is changing and Technical education (STEAM) is promoted. We have to wake up from our slumber and encourage our young people to develop a skill in addition to whatever other profession they may have pursued. Some professional women in the U.S.A are fixing their own plumbing fixtures in their homes to save money to pay their mortgage. It is time for us in the Territory to make a shift in our focus.

    I am amazed at how selfish we are. Each of us believes our way is the best and when it doesn't happen that way we call foul. Could you imagine if there were a button each of us could push to let say control weather patterns each day? One person gets up and decides he/ she wants rain and pushes that button. Another person decides it should be a sunny day and did the same then another wants snow and hits that button. This would of course induce total confusion !!. There is a reason why that and other powers were not given to us. We are too selfish!!. We were given the power to vote and most did. The result may not have been what each of us favoured but it has been done!! It would appear that some of us cannot survive outside of the sphere of chaos and is always looking for any bit of anything that would keep it burning. Nothing is wrong with voicing our opinions but, there should come a time when we just let it be. There will be an answer.

      PVIM was committed to each other, not country. After elections, party campaigns are useless because none ever knows where they will land and have to do the government’s work wherever they are placed. This is not the playground, it is politics and if your reasons for participating is to get work done to serve the people of the territory, then you cannot stop to play ring around the roses with your party friends. Unity government/coalition ideology should still be the goal. There’s no room for bonding over criticism, slander and identification of errors to overseer/massa. It is genuinely offering support and suggestions, building alliances and being practical to solve the problems faced by the territory by improving systems, policies, revenue and processes.

Really you gave health to a non performing member. Give Wheatley a junior minister to a ministry where he can be guided. Would you out Wheatley as an opposition leader. The only person Wheatley surpass in the candidates is the bag lady and the other one who ran in the 8th. Similar name, similar straits. They have to hold off the milk.

    The Westminster system is flawed. Under it, ministers, for the most part, are assigned based on those elected who relatively best suited, not those best qualified. Politicians are elected based on a popularity contest and seem to expect to have expertise in areas in which they don’t know pullet from fowl. Some pretend to get immediate expertise through osmosis and are too proud to admit that seasoned staff may have more knowledge and experience than they in many subject areas. Is not the aim of Permanent Secretaries who are skilled and experienced in public affairs and technical skills to provide advice to often inexperienced ministers for efficient and effective running of ministeries. But many ministers want to show that they are all knowing and got things under control when they are not. Consequently, things get SNAFU ( situation normal all f’d up). The smart ministers humble themselves and lean on their PS to get up to speed quickly.

    Moreover, back from my digressive rant to the current portfolios. Health is the most issue in the BVI and the best qualified person elected should be assigned to lead and manage Health and Social Development. IMO Dr. Hon Karl Dawson is better suited for that ministry than the Hon Vincent Wheatley. This is not a knock on Hon Wheatley but rather based on Dr. Dawson’s life’s and professional experience. Staying under Health and Social Development under which Solid Waste management currently resides, solid waste is a public works function and better placed within public works which falls under the Minister of Communications and Works(better name us Public Works and Utilities) .Further, a ministry of Management Information System is needed.. In regards to Public Works, Public Works should be led preferably by a civil engineer or a related engineer. . Many recent decades ago, it was led by a civil engineers , ie, Clarence Christian, Bennet Smith, etc. Of late, the practice has been putting administrative personnel to lead and manage a technical position in which they have not been trained and then we expects superb results and outcomes, ie, roads,, etc. Nuts!!! That is the definition of insanity. Does the Premier has the Stones to address and correct this misdirected effort. Further, Dr Dawson is assigned agriculture and fisheries but what is glaringly missing is land which dove tails with agriculture and fishery. Food insecurity should also fall under Dr. Dawson, etc. The Premier in addition to finance have a myriad of other responsibilities some of which should be delegated to Junior ministers to promote their growth and development in public affairs management and governing.

      The westminister system has been around longer than you can dream and it has worked for an industrial ized stable country that has ruled a very large chunk of the world. Please stop talking nonsense . nothing in life or democracy is perfect.

      Now, in respect to the current BVI government structure recently anounced, it again demonstrates a disrespect of the people of the BVI and lack of understanding of good democratic governance, because;

      1. while the premier has the constitutional descretionary powers to assign subject and porfolio areas to ministers you would expect that he or she will not eliminate an entire ministry which has been a part of the BVI system for 50 plus years without consulting the people of the BVI. The Ministry of Natural Resources and labour is no more and moving its subjects will have significant logistical and administrative challenges which should have been properly discussed and organized.

      2. Individuals should not be able to influence the Ministerial structures of the Government based on their personal preference forcing the Premier to create Ministries which have not been justified to the people and made up of areas (such as Financial services) which historically had been structured to minimize direct government interference and influence.

      3. if such changes are to be made, at minimum the Premier should have proposed these type of major changes during the recent campaign. I havent seen such a major change in the VIP's or the member that joined the Government's manifestos or campaign proposals.

      There are more specific concerns but lets stay on these for now!

        Indeed, the Westminister system may have been around for a while but that does not mean it does not have flaws. It is flawed and in need of change and mending. Did someone say either life or democracy was perfect? One would have to be a mummy to say such. True, the UK led the charge in rolling out the Industrial Revolution but at whose expense. The British Empire was one of the largest Empire ever comprising at one point 23% of the world population( ~400M people) 25% of the global land mass, making the UK the leading world power. The Empire conquered and colonized countries impacting industries, cultures, and disrupting the lives of people. It exploited the indigenous people, expropriated land, resources, labour, etc. It took part in the slave trade, slavery, etc. Slave labour generated dizzying wealth that built the UK’s economy, built individual wealth, created commercial capitalism, which in turn created industrial capitalism, creating source funding for the Industrial Revolution. Slave labour created source funding for the Industrial Revolution. However, Everyone but slaves and their descendants benefitted from slavery and slave labour. Slave descendants are still waiting, waiting, waiting, even for a simple apology from the crown and slave master’s descendants and reparative justice. The British Empire with the lost of the profitable American colonies look to the scramble for Africa and to Asia for more lands to conquer and colonized and exploit. The British Empire over which the sun never set is a footnote in the annals of history. Global Britain is being pushed to try regain some of the lost influence, hanging on to the Commonwealth as if it (UK) is still the dominant, exploitive world power.

          What really is your point here. If you have a credible alternative to the Westminster system with all its flaws, please tell the world. Stop regurgitating history to make yourself relevant. Democratic systems are a work in progress for progressive civilizations to improve as we go along. But I have not heard one credible alternative for the BVI as yet that is not haphazard and filled with self serving ambition.
