OPINION: The Saint Vincent Labour Party Democracy Review
By Nathan ‘Jolly’ Green. August 07, 2020.
Communism, Marxism, and 21st Century Socialism are anti-Democratic. The attempt by the ULP leadership to fool Vincentians into believing they and the ULP party are democratic with democratic policies must be treated not just as untrue, but as totally unacceptable.
Bribing Vincentian people using Vincentian taxpayers’ money to do it. Doing it now before the upcoming elections with building materials is an extreme undemocratic action.
Being caught in election fraud during the 2016 elections has not taught them anything.
Many articles about bribing the people with building materials have been published, and they do not care that the current bribery action is being recorded and filmed, to be published internationally.
The continuing distinctly undemocratic behaviour tells us that if they are blatantly bribing now while being watched and scrutinised, they will blatantly do what they did last time and stuff the ballot boxes and have people voting more than once in more than one constituency, using ghost voters and dead peoples votes. Because if they are willing to do one dirty operation, you can guarantee they will do all the others this time exactly as they did last time. Also, you can be sure that whoever is guiding this undemocratic action will now introduce even more dirty tricks to steal the election.
They believe they are untouchable, and the people approve of them being elected by whatever means they choose.
Suppose we look at everything that the ULP has done while under the present leadership over the last twenty years. Everything they do or have done that is undemocratic.
Bringing down the properly elected government of SVG by revolution, ‘the roadblock revolution’.
Falsely promising people at the time an across the board 30% pay rise, they never paid it.
Giving the teachers a contract, which was knowingly unenforceable and unconstitutional, while lying and saying it is the best ever.
Telling hundreds of lies to the people, to parliament, to anyone who will listen.
A prime minister who admitted he tells lies.
Touring the world to scrounge from undemocratic governments.
Aligning SVG closely politically and otherwise with nasty communist regimes like Cuba and Venezuela.
Joining the country without public debate with the ALBA organisation, which is an undemocratic organisation with undemocratic leaders, based on Marxist doctrines.
Taking payment from governments with known human rights abominations and then voting to assist those countries and those dirty violating leaders by voting in their favour at the UN.
Taking money from Venezuela, while women and babies are starving.
Taking medical goods from Venezuela while people are dying of COVID virus in droves.
The nasty, wicked, cruel, and malicious treatment meted out to citizens like Bigger Bigs, Marcus De Freitas, Randolph Toussaint, the teachers, the unions, to anyone who is recognised as not supporting the ULP government or its leadership. There are simply hundreds affected.
Continual violations of human rights.
Demanding and instructing Vincentian businesspeople not to become politicians.
People are beaten at police stations, police acting as political police on behalf of the regime, Police Special Branch illegally gathering information on the opposition party, sending police to raid those who do something politically opposing the regime, police obtaining search warrants with fraudulent applications.
Extrajudicial killings suspected but not proven.
Sending Tax and VAT inspectors to people homes and businesses for political reasons, to disrupt and cower them.
Buying church and religious leaders with tax-free and import free status to control what they do and say, ensuring they stay in line with the rules of the regime, making them political tools.
Calling people who oppose the regime nasty, degrading, abusive, and defamatory names, like internet crazies, and worthless dirty dogs.
Making nasty and dirty hand gestures to people who displease the regime.
Frightening newspaper and online media owners and editors to stop them from publishing exposė’s of political dirtiness.
Introducing acts of parliament to stifle online commentary and freedom of speech.
Being accused and not appearing before a court when accused of rape and sexual assault.
Freedom of speech, movement and assembly inhibited.
Giving out passports with citizenships without transparency and in secrecy.
Announcing “we will hunt them down until they exist no more.”
Announcing to a Christian based society and citizenship that “If I work Obeah, I only work Obeah for the Lord” which is a grossly based Blasphemy. An insult to all worshipers of God.
There is much more, and it is all undemocratic. If you remember what I forgot, please list it in the comments below.
If there is anything written here that you would like me to explain, just ask in the comments section.
Democracy in SVG under the ULP and its leadership does not exist, not at all.
The claim of Democracy is little more than a fraud on the Vincentian people.

Looking back we see how fortunate we in St Vincent and the Grenadines were, to have been handed a fledgling democracy and democratic institutions by the British, despite their years of being part of the Slave trade and running extensive slave plantations here.
One might say that the British had redeemed themselves in so doing! From then on destiny and prosperity would be in our own hands.
So just how did we get to this place where we are today, with a family run dictatorship, where democratic institutions have been rubbished and where democracy itself have retreated?
Narcissism no doubt! Narcissism as a fact, is observed to have had a great part to play in this sad decline of ours! One man’s narcissism has brought us to ruin.
The vision of a dictator with the psychology of tyranny and the obedience of participants, is quite telling we observe for sure, as we once again declined into exploitation and poverty all over again.
For some time now, one keep hearing a refrain in various quarters, a refrain reaped by our dictator’s sycophants, that the dictator is the best thinker in SVG. Moreover, that this narcissistic individual who suffers from a personality disorder, is above all in intellect. For his sycophants, he has the best intellect in the region. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eORwAozITwI But is this really so?
This utterly ridiculous nonsensical twaddle of theirs, rather than being given short shrift, which is what it deserves, and be treated as total buncombe, has also come to be believed by the Dictator himself and by his family too. One reads it even in Post inSVG, and hear it in some unlikely quarters, yet there is no evidence whatsoever for such. Only economic incompetence, arrogance and verbose waffle.
In short, what we have in SVG is a bloated egotistical individual who is suffering from a severe narcissistic personality disorder, rampaging in office, and being told that he is the brightest thinker ever of all the Vincentians who has ever lived. That he too believes this, is not at all surprising!
What confounded rubbish eh? Thus our delusional dictator has been hence able to run roughshod over the lives of all in SVG. Some personalist dictators and their tragic fall are often documented https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ECTcaSXe1I others often die with their booths on, some manage to escape the wrath of an angry populace who could stand them no longer, yet others ends their days hanging from a gibbet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ssKbcEWhcI as did Benito Mussolini in Italy and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. So just how will our own grubby dictator end his days, and will it be soon?
The St Vincent and the Grenadines P.M, Ralph Gonsalves, has recently taken to quoting the Bible after his regime was accused of “gross communism” by a sadly sick young woman, whose land the ugly regime had forcibly sought to acquire.
https://www.iwnsvg.com/2020/08/17/pm-cites-bible-in-defence-of-communist-land-acquisition/
However, many true Christians are quite keenly aware that Satan too, is quite apt to quote the Bible, as he so did in “the temptation of the Lord Jesus Christ”. (Luke’s (Luke 4:1–13) and Matthew’s (Matthew 4:1–11).
So therefore, when Ralph Gonsalves takes to quoting scripture, in order to justify his disgustingly, horrible, delinquent and unjust Communist policy, such could never at all be in any way surprising. It is normally the way rouges tend to justify their utterly bad behaviour. Why would this fellow be any way different! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXHndQFLpMA
Ralph Gonsalves we have observed, has self-styled himself on that now dead old Communist, Fidel Castro and his protégé too, Hugo Chavez. That we Vincentians are here suffering the sad consequences of Ralph Gonsalves’s horrible excesses, can only be noted as our own stupid fault.
Communism we all know never works, has never worked but has always been the ideology for scoundrels, rogues, reprobates and those who are envious of others. Tyrannical ne’er-do-wells who are apt to usurp political power and steal the goods of others, only to engage themselves in “Swiss Bank Communism”.
These “Swiss Bank Communist” usual mantra is, what is mine is mine but what is yours we share! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEUUjoVjdM0
