Opposition hopeful @ least one gov't member would support Motion of No Confidence
The Opposition had planned to bring forward a Motion of No Confidence against Premier Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, during the Nineteenth Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA) of the Virgin Islands.
Over twenty reasons supporting the motion was intended to be presented to the House for consideration. These ranged from Premier Wheatley’s alleged fiscal irresponsibility and accountability to the lack of funding and support for key sectors in the Virgin Islands.
The Opposition’s plans were nipped in the bud as Premier Wheatley objected to the motion being on the Order Paper, citing incorrect procedures were followed by the Opposition.
Evidence too much to be ignored
During a press conference following the Opposition’s failed attempt to bring the Motion of No Confidence during the current sitting of the HoA, Hon Turnbull said, “It would be very hard based on these twenty plus areas or clauses for the people of the Virgin Islands, including those on the government, to disagree with the things that are being said and being placed to them by the members of the Opposition.”
Hon Turnbull said the Opposition is hopeful that at least one of the members of government in the HoA would have the “conscience” to understand that the VI is bigger than party politics or their loyalty to the Premier, who he said continues to make “blunders and mistakes”.

Now they will offer Lorna the Premiership if she crosses the floor. Life is a funny thing and politics is even funnier! For all of you who think any of those 13 people in HOA gives a $%^$ about you or the BVI as opposed to the power they hold, you are in for the ride of your life. You all put too much faith and energy into these useless people. For starters, check their records and ask what have they done even for themselves and then ask how the hell they can do anything for you or this country. It's all a reality show with endless seasons, ENJOY!
All is in order. (and England still owns and controls the USA but that supposed to be hush-hush)
