‘NDP continues its normal divisive politics’- Rajah A. Smith
NDP bad for youths
The potential At Large candidate on the VIP ticket was at the time reacting to this week’s episode involving former Culture Minister and now controversial National Democratic Party spokeswomen Eileene L. Parsons who used profanity at senior Member of the Opposition Virgin Islands Party Andrew A. Fahie (R1) when Hon Fahie went to greet her before the start of a flopped opening ceremony for Farmers’ Week 2015.
Mr Smith told radio listeners that “we see this week the National Democratic Party has continued with their policies of a culture of disrespect with no positive example or message to our young people when they now saying it is ok to disrespect sitting members of the House of Assembly and use profanities to them.”
VIP believes in harmonious society
The youth leader stated that the NDP’s message to the youths is it’s ok to disrespect others. Mr Smith said “I consider this their normal divisive politics to divide the country by putting us against each other. Whereas, the VIP believes in respect for each other, and living in a harmonious society, and wherever you are from especially, our brothers and sisters among us from the Caribbean islands, or whether black or white, the VIP and the message to our youth should be respect and manners still carry you through the world.”
Mr Smith, who is also the President of the Youth arm of the VIP also known as the ‘Ready Committee’, said in an opening statement on the show that “the young people of whom I represent also reject the notion of declaring war on each other! We believe in civil and meaningful debate on the issues of the day, but we will continue to support telling the truth about the long three years of the NDP.”
NDP divisive politics after three years
There are lots of evidence of the NDP’s divisive politics. They continue to use their time in the House of Assembly and in public statements to attack citizens, the media and private sector companies they do not like.
A few weeks ago, in a statement in response to Hon Andrew A. Fahie labeling the NDP Administration ‘the most corrupt government in the Virgin Islands’, instead of answering the charges they lashed out at telecommunications giant Digicel and water and sewerage international firm Biwater.
Critics have often said that the NDP hates these two companies because of possible conflict of interest it has in the telecommunication and water production sectors.

So many things flow from this decision to support Ms. P.

Bye bye NDP next elections ...
Keep it up son.
I can understand why VIP feels threatened by this member of the NDP.
As a newcomer,he has certainly made his presence known in a positive manner. Not one to drag his feet, he is also fearless ,extremely confident and intelligent.
Eye candy too!
A rare gem in the world of BVI politics.
Team NDP .The players are all gems.
