Many of the die hard New Democratic Party (N.D.P) supporters, at home and aboard, have not yet come to terms; with the narrow lost the N D P suffered and the electoral victory of the Unity Labor Party (U.L.P); as was resulted in the December 2010 general election, which was held in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It will be interesting to note that I came to terms with and accepted the defeat of the N.D.P weeks before, the general election was due.
This does not mean, I no longer want to see the back of Ralph E. Gonsalves and his Unity Labor Party, but there are certain things, which are more important than winning a general election and thus changing a corrupt government; replacing that notoriously corrupt government, with a government that consist of a party that has certain elements in key position, which would places that government in the unfortunate position, to exceed the degree of corruption and level of victimization of it predecessor.
My unique insight, awakened my consciousness and alerted me, as to certain profound behaviors, attitudes and practices of the elements in the New Democratic Party, which led me to a disturbing conclusion, which was: to elect the New Democratic Party to govern the affairs of the State, in the last election; was not in the best interest of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Such would have resulted in an even further moral and ethical decline and would have so widen the gap of the community's political partisan dogma; which would have blighted St. Vincent and the Grenadines and propelled the home of the blessed into a political free fall, such as is experienced in Jamaica: where politically motivated violence reign unchecked.
I know that many of the NDP supporters especially those who are realistically and unrealistically expecting an improvement in their present conditions, when the NDP takes over the reign of political governance will say I am chatting foolishness and I am switching political sides now.
However; before I go any further, I must take some time to set the record straight, as it relates to my political affiliation. I am not and have never been a member or an unconditional supporter of the NDP or the ULP. I am a champion of truth, honesty, integrity and Justice and therefore a supporter of Mr. Arnhim Eustace. This is so for the mere reason, I have seen the qualities I hold dear, on consistent display in the life, action and spoken words of the Hon. Aenhim Eustace and by extension; such qualities must be a part of the character of this honorable fellow. This together with my admiration for the Major’s sense of fair play and respect along with my disapproval of Ralph E. Gonsalves' total behavior and general conduct were the chief motivating factor; that led me to throw my full support behind the NDP.
You may be wondering, if my earlier statement as it relates to Arnhim Eustace’s character is true, why did I conclude; electing his party or the party he now leads, would have had a devastating negative impact on the behavior and attitude of the nation’s people?
It is not enough that Mr. Eustace is a man of integrity, strong morals and outstanding ethical values; it is also important that those whom he take into his confidence and those whose judgment and counsel he trust are men and women who are cut from the same or similar virtuous fabric; unfortunately this was/is not so, but this is slowly changing.
Like Sampson, there are those who like deliah, under pretense of love for country, have captivated the attention of this good man. they have cunningly worked their way into his confidence and he have grown to trust their judgment and counsel. They did this by playing the hypocrite’s game. Unfortunately; their core values; political and governmental management goals and objectives for St. Vincent and the Grenadines, are not the same as those of Mr. Eustace.
They are not concern about building a kinder more gentler St. Vincent and the Grenadines; but are hell bent on exhorting revenge, get what the can, to prove other wrong and to making a name for themselves at any cost. It is important to note, that every organization has such people in them, but an organization can only be successful when its leader or leaders knows of the general goals objectives and intent of such people; it is only then that such people, their suggestion and counsel be placed in there correct prospective.
Unfortunately; in the New Democratic Party’s case, such people have weaseled their way into the confidence of this moral giant and they have been slyly spreading their poison around, many have been deceived by the alluring odor of their toxin and are taking deep breaths to the detriment of their integrity and their ethical well being.
Fortunately, for St. Vincent and the Grenadines; God don't like ugly and the stripping process has already begun. Their actions are leaving them bear backside in the view of the public. Now; it is important that you pay attention to the activities in the next few months, these people will be revealed for the snakes they are, for the soft flesh that disguise the rough scales that covers their nasty intent will soon be torn from their bodies leaving them exposed for all to see their true nature.
