McDonald
and Prudent Officially Quit UWP
 Two
members of the ruling United Workers Party have
resigned effective January 1, 2010. They are
Franklin McDonald and Therold Prudent. The duo
in their resignation letters says that the nation
is not getting the kind of representation it
voted for in 2006 because Prime Minister Stephenson
King has lost sight of the vision and hope that
Sir John Compton had for the country.
“The time has come,” said Mr. McDonald,
the former Deputy Chairman of the Party, “for
all right thinking St. Lucians to wake up and
see where the country is heading under Prime
Minister Stephenson King and his cabinet, and
to take all the steps that are necessary to
bring the country back from the brink of crime,
economic chaos and untold suffering. ”
Mr. Prudent who grew up in a UWP household and
who is an ardent campaigner for the party for
the last two decades, says that the time-clock
has run out on the Stephenson King administration
and the governance of the United Workers Party
because the government has lost sight of why
the people voted out Dr. Kenny Anthony and the
SLP and replaced them with Sir John Compton
and the UWP.

Mr.
Prudent believes that if St. Lucia is to regain
the stature and respect it once enjoyed under
Sir John, the government has to lead the country
in a more positive and progressive direction.”
