Proposal on governance submitted to Hon Milling
“I am pleased to report on behalf of the Government of National Unity that I have submitted a proposal to UK Minister for the Overseas Territories, The Right Honourable Amanda milling, that sets out our approach to reform and presents a framework for the implementation under continued democratic governance.”
Dr Wheatley said the proposal represents the territory’s commitment to good governance and strengthening institutions and systems of government. “We want to engender a new culture in the handling of the people’s business.”

They should be trying to get their act together, remember these were all junior and new blood that were wrongly influenced by business as usual. They are doing the right thing. It is up to us to fix us or we will always need an overlord.
Like wrote before, the people of the UK will never accepted a government in their to rule without an opposition, because they know humans everywhere in this world differ in views on different issues. So what have or is causing the people of the British Virgin Islands to even thinks that unition among politicians 3 a reality, especially BVI politicians?
My people, remember this word, whether or not you choose to ccepted or not accept: "Their is no honour among thieves." Unity government on this planet earth is nothing short of a mythical illusion of the human mind. Believed it not. Received it or not.
I do admit that there a many simile citizens in the BVI. For that same reason our local politicians and others have taken advantagged of us for many years, particular they have robbed is os on multmillions. The dollars of our finances. Issue why we are in the big mess that we are now in is a financial issue deliberate mismanagement of our finances.
Question:
Do you and others like you really believe that the only the former Premier Andrew Fahie knew that he was corrupted, and the other Ministers were completely ignorant of at least none of his evil behaviours? No, no, no, only simile persons like you and others with below average comprehension have accepted their lame excuses as truth.
The UK government deserves a certain amount of time to help ease the burden of our black skin finances-robbing Slave Masters (politicians). Only real senile people like you and other of your racist mindset are haters better, much better, government.
I read posted, a few days ago where on man admitted that he would prefer five (5( Andrew Fahie than one(1) than white man..
I put it to you the of us two, one of us us truly sinile. You are the simile one, not me. When a people of any, country, as we are now, has be taken advantage for such a long time, as we have, you tell me, if you do have above normal understanding, the disadvantage of direct rule, for a limited time, to help ease the, particular financial pressure off the backs of the poor?
In addition to that, do you really believe, especially at a time like this that the UK want to carry the load if the BVI political mess on its back willingly for a long period of time? Wake up dreamer. Wake up, quickly.
What people? A “few” people have rejected direct rule.
The former slave masters got their riches off the backs of the negros the sugarcane cutting and cotton picking then they departed
