Are NDP for real?

Editor: Are NDP for real? It is hard to believe that they are for real. In the Weekend Searchlight newspaper of October 30, 2015, it is mentioned that if NDP form government in the upcoming elections that they would remove VAT from 140 items. How laughable is that statement. Imagine that they are going to remove VAT from items that do not carry VAT.{{more}} Plumrose and some other fruits do not carry VAT, so how are they going to remove VAT from such an item?

Interestingly they have not published the names of the 140 items, except a few that would not carry VAT. The NDP should list the items that they would remove VAT from. Come on, Mr Eustace, let us have the laughable list. After all, we are dealing with an educated population who would not be fooled easily.

Another laughable thing is the declaration that when they take the reins of government, Grenadines people traveling on the ferry would not be subjected to a search at the sea port. How laughable is that when it is a requirement internationally. Compounded to that fact is that recently some passengers travelling to one of the Grenadine islands, when searched, were found with drugs and ammunition in their possession. So, you are telling us that security would not be necessary at the port. Therefore, persons can travel freely with drugs and ammunition. This is indeed laughable.

There are more laughable things about NDP, but I will mention just one more. How in the name of high heavens it is cheaper now to build a house than in the time of NDP. These words were uttered by the Honourable Terrance Ollivierre. Cement and other building materials have risen and also the cost of lands. So, even the dunce can tell you that it is more expensive to build a house now than it was 15 years ago.

Thus, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that NDP are not for real. They are bent on fooling the fools. Common sense would tell us that these aforementioned things can never be real. Come on, NDP, ‘wheel and come again’.

Therefore, the NDP should never be elected to office. Instead they should get a sound whipping at the polls, where they suffer a massive defeat, losing 14 seats and narrowly winning Northern Grenadines. It is a time for a change, a change from NDP in Parliament to outside of Parliament.
