What
can I do for my party?
 St.
Lucia and St. Lucians have experienced a very difficult year
2006-2007. We came through the general elections
of 2006 without violence like some of our neighbors who needed
assistance from U.S. and other countries to keep their elections
peaceful. Thank God for that! We came through World Cup 2007

Barbados
Labour Party blown away (LA VIE EST BIEN TRISTE)
 The
January 15th general elections at Barbados has been a great
shock to its leader Owen Arthur but certainly no surprise
to the Barbadian community based upon the well explained fact
by Mr Thompson that Mr Arthur’s Shelf Life had truly
expired. Our article in the Voice edition dated January 8,
2008,
Are
we really serious about true development?
As
a citizen of our blessed “Helen of the West Indies”
I feel obliged to offer my perspective of certain troubling
aspects of our society. Instinctively, due to my
nature, I suppose my thoughts tend to be directed on the social

Comment
on Barbados Election
The
lesson which has emerged from the outcome of the elections
in Barbados is that the intelligence and resolve of the electorate

to the gills with contending political pedigrees; passionate
and ceaseless in conversation, is named Chris. And we’ll
leave it at that. Here is the anatomy of our unending argument:
Kudos
to Richard Frederick
They
say that great things come in small packages, and the best
is saved for last. These sayings can very well be accredited
to a man that is so controversial, but who has more than proven

international news reported that outgoing Taiwanese President,
Chen Shui-bian, “received a red carpet welcome in St
Lucia” at the start of his official visit on Tuesday.
A large business delegation was among the 130 individuals

The
Saint Lucia National Trust in collaboration with the Micoud
Development Foundation will co-host a public forum on the
