‘Dejected’ Opposition to hold press conference today, Nov 2
The Opposition, led by Honourable Ronnie W. Skelton (AL), had walked out of the Fifth Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth HoA after it lost a vote on a motion moved by the government side for the reordering of the Order Paper to have the lengthy Questions & Answer Segment pushed back to the end of the proceedings.
Hon Skelton had said in an interview on ZBVI 780 AM on October 31, 2023, that the Opposition was going to meet on November 1, 2023, and would then update the public as to when it would return to the HoA.
The Opposition was absent when it was time for the Question and Answer segment; however, Speaker Hon Corine N. George-Massicote said the Opposition would have to re-submit its questions for the next sitting.
The press conference, to be aired live on the Facebook and YouTube pages of the House of Assembly, will be held from 4:00 PM.

that group under NDP squandered millions of the taxpayers money(the plane, the wall, the pier park and not forgetting that 8 million associated with the sewage project up there in east end) play the tape
some of us love to forget the political foolishness
those guys need to get more serious about running our little country because our forefathers worked hard……..London just looking on
1) Ronnie, Myron, Mitch, and Marlon were all members of the NDP who made this action a regular at each Sitting for years when they were in government at every session of the House of Assembly through their boss Orlando and never once did any of them object. So how come all of a sudden the shoe is on the other foot it is a problem. They are only reaping what they sowed.
2) The action is legal as it is allowed under the laws of the House of Assembly once the majority agrees. It does not mean the questions will not be asked but it will be done later in the proceedings of the House of Assembly. The rules to make this shitlft just needs an approval by the majority and not everyone.
This is nothing new nor nothing illegal. The Opposition needs to sit down in the House and do the people's work and stop this unnecessary show hoping to gain political points. We the people are hurting and need representation, NOT A SHOW!
I am amazed how Myron is the one making the most noise and this man is charged with corruption. He makes Trump look like a joke.
