He is no longer Minister so thats way
As I see things, in reference to political power play normally practiced by BVI politicians Carvin Malone is equal to others that have done the same. At the lease, he has showed that the so-called unity government is not unified, as was claimed by Hon Dr. Natalio Sajande.
Others too may soon joined with Hon. J. Frazer nor Hon. Carvin Malone may be the next Premier, but the BVI opposition do need to be factually strengthened.
If not, good governance will be a only wishful dream of the human mind. not a true functionable reality in the BVI.
The political truth has been written.

Accept this truth. The self proclaimed unity government is not unified as one.
The UK has a credible political oposition team. Same does the British Virgin Islands, but good governance is a vital need as soon as possible.
