‘Snap elections an act of corruption!’ – Edmund G. Maduro
He was speaking on his show aired last night, May 7, 2015 on ZROD 103.7 FM. “Ladies and gentleman, this election is a serious election. I believe that nothing is more corrupt than a snap election,” said Maduro.
The talk show host and former Chief Immigration Officer said the VI Constitution says that there must be elections every four years, even though it gives the authority and the right to have elections sooner than the four years.
“But the principle should remain that the people should know way ahead of time of an elections and it should not be a spur of the moment thing,” he said.
Premier Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith told the territory on May 6, 2015 that elections, constitutionally due by February 2016, will be held in the Virgin Islands on June 8, 2015, notice that amounts to a mere one month and two days.
The Virgin Islands Party has since signalled its readiness to contest the elections, having ratified a full slate of 14 persons comprising District and Territorial/At Large candidates. The party had signalled weeks ago that it sensed that the National Democratic Party Government was inching towards calling elections either in June or July 2015.
“We are at a very serious point in our history at this election. Of course there has been a lot of mudslinging and mudslinging seems to be the name of the game. But there are people who are against the snap election,” said Maduro.
One caller to the show made the point that persons like to know that they have about four months to campaign instead of just one month which the announcement on May 6, 2015 gives the political parties.

Since NDP took office Done deal own two Mercedes, before NDP come to power the act**n m*n was broke, all the shelves was empty, one more month and business was going to close, one month into power and shelves full, sale every week and new Range Rover, where his broke @$$ get the money from? holding sale and the cost for the items on sale is below the wholesale price, don't even know how to t**** and hide.
Dr p funny man mark. Marlon even miss p yes they all drive in class so ture. All from kick b**k and katering lunch little the venders at. ESHC know funny man putting them out to bring in his company that fact
One time bloggers (VIP supporters I assume?) saying they can't wait for elections ["how long? not long.."] so they can kick out the NDP. I have no doubt VIP officials knew about those blogs.
Now you here with another type of nonsense that VIP need more time because they are still weak and not ready.
So which is it? VIP can't have it both ways.
This poor same Edmund made a fool of himself at the josiahs bay development meeting this week, shouting and ranting for nothing. He need to calm down and keep quiet.
Solution:
Step 1 - Partially Finish Cruise Pier, put on Grand Celebration
Step 2 - Dissolve House of Assembly, No HOA, No forum to answer to corruption.
Step 3 - Give out many contracts, people getting jobs are happy while work unfinished
Step 4 - Call Snap Elections, while the illusion of progress is FRESH!
Don't B Fooled! This is an attempt to trick u into voting for NDP under the false sense of progress
