‘I would not bamboozle or fool anybody’- Lorna G. Smith on switching to NDP
Mrs Smith in the March 21, 2023, edition of ‘Cut Deep’ hosted by Cindy Rosan said her intention was never to fool anybody, but rather, to get the views of the people without a party affiliation.
'I am honest & forthright' - Lorna G. Smith
“One thing I am is honest and forthright, I would not bamboozle anybody or fool anybody. When I decided to run for political office, I did start out as an Independent. I wanted to get the views of the people of the BVI without a badge, without a party.
“I wanted people to be able to speak frankly to me and I did get that from them and they continue and I know they will continue to speak to me very freely and I was encouraged, by that,” she said.
On Saturday, March 18, 2023, Mrs Smith appeared on the campaign stage of the National Democratic Party and pushed the mission of the NDP as the best government for the VI, despite her first starting out as an Independent and against party politics.
On that same day, Mrs Smith's social media pages rebranded to NDP imagery.
Views still align with NDP - Lorna G. Smith
Mrs Smith on the Cut Deep show; however, said her decision to flip from being an Independent candidate to joining the NDP was because her views still aligned with the party.
“Last week Wednesday, I made an announcement that I would be joining the National Democratic Party, and there were a couple of reasons for it. One is that my views are very closely aligned with those of the National Democratic Party,” she added.
Mrs Smith said the National Democratic Party has accomplished a lot over its 20-year history and that nobody is perfect, mistakes were made; however, she needed a team.
"I am a member of the National Democratic Party, but I expect to maintain my own voice, my own thinking as we go forward," she said.

What do you mean switching? Her husband was a founding member and Chairman for how many years. Who else in their right mind thought Lorna was going anywhere but NDP? Just stop the @#$%&* nonsense now. You are not even elected and already fooling people. 25 April will meet you up McNamara watering your plants and cleaning your pool, HOA you will NOT be!
Was she playing hard to get,or I different from them or what. Now don't be fool.
They are the same National Doze Of Poison ( NDP)
Unfortunately this lady has had no such contact. When was the last time any regular person on the street or person down on their luck could say she stopped by and offered to listen much less offered to help?
Is this who you want to represent you?
Respond at the poling station please.
Especially after the people knew that Bummer was still pulling the strings which he has to what other source he has to get money. Lorna like every other person has their faults but we need her knowledge and know how.
"Independent "Caribbean Islands. She is an example of what BVIslanders were and the reason investors saw fit to invest and contribute positively to our economy, Half of allyo n ever had a pot to hiss in and could nevermatch the bottom of her shoes. No she is not common trash and neither is her life mate and his generations of family and others of these VI. Whether or not she and others of known respect is elected it is unlikely no impact on her life but it will on the lives of many others clinging to the VI, The UK is right there in the wings and ready to grasp the reins. Personally I am grateful to Lorna and the few who stepped in .. They are the ones that is shining a light with intelligence, experience and a proper past. They care about their BVI and Is willing to suffer the blows of the all too popular common and vulgar ignorance.. I miss my BVI, and have grieved but at this point what and who remains can kiss my ash,set of ungrateful dead wood.
