'I will always be for the 99 percent'- Zoe J. Walcott-McMillan
She was at the time speaking on June 3, 2015 in Capoon’s Bay at Honourable Andrew A. Fahie’s (R1) campaign meeting. This was in response to an advertisement allegedly by the NDP which suggested that Walcott-McMillan might be harbouring a consideration about joining them.
“A number of them have come to me and I have emphatically shut down any thought process, or any concession that I have an interest in their philosophy,” she said.
“I was approached by a gentleman who was encouraging me to their way of life and I said I don’t know if it is the perfume that I am wearing but if that is the case I need to stop. Because it is not like I am shadow boxing with you all. I do not subscribe to your philosophy,” she recounted.
According to Walcott-McMillan, the young lady who accompanied the man asked her what she meant by that and seemed upset. Walcott-McMillan said she told her she’ll explain in a way that she could understand.
“I said you have Delores Christopher (R5) and you have Alvera Maduro-Caines (R6) and their party treats them as if they are inconsequential because they don’t look like you,” she said. “I said they are not your brand of success,” she said.
She told them that she will always be for the underdog. “I will always be for the 99 percent because when the 99 percent is doing well the one percent will always do well.”
Walcott-McMillan believes that the current politics is too toxic for the Virgin Islands and stressed that while it is the policy of the VIP to conduct a clean campaign, this does not mean that the party will shy away from defending its image when it is necessary to do so.
She noted that everyone from the Virgin Islands Party is always said to be crossing over to the NDP every elections campaign. “Every election Andrew leaving…then I heard ‘All Out’ [Elton L. Sprauve] leaving to do to the NDP, ‘Juggy’ [Elvis J. Harrigan] leaving to go to the NDP. Everybody in this party leaving to go to the NDP,” she said.
Over the past weeks, the NDP has been in overdrive with their statements against members of the VIP, especially the Chairman of the party Honourable Julian Fraser RA, who has been the target of their attacks.
