‘We must be blind to party colours’ this elections- John I. Cline
“Last elections I didn’t vote party line. I look for people on the ballot who I believe could be worthy of my vote because my vote is my voice,” Mr Cline said on his My BVI show live-streamed on Facebook on March 30, 2023.
The former leader of the New Life Baptist Church (NLBC) in Duff’s Bottom said this time around he will do the same, look for people on the ballots who he believes will qualify for his vote, which is his civil and democratic right.
“Unfortunately some of those people I voted for, once I voted for them and they got to power they didn’t want to hear my voice, so now I see how you are and this time around I can’t vote for you again.”
‘We are more intelligent’
Mr Cline urged those eligible to vote to do so responsibly and intelligently, ignoring party colours and personalities.
“So I can’t just go vote for you because you green or you blue or you red, I can’t do that.
“We are more intelligent. We have more information. We see when we give a particular party a mandate of a great majority how they just act irresponsibly.”
Mr Cline noted’ however, that he believes in a mixture of persons in the House of Assembly, both youthful and experienced and noted that there are persons over 70 years in the UK Parliament. He also pointed put that US President Joe R. Biden is like the “rock of ages”.
“Because you cannot leave the future of the country just to say you want a new set of people,” Mr Cline stated.

All the way !!!!!!
No mistake.
Out the gate with Blinders on.
You Cline guys just need to go talk to your real god which is Lucifer.
Moreover, I subscribe to voting for the most experienced, knowledgable, and qualified, along with being the best suited , candidates to serve in the HoA. However, the party system is core to the governing system in the BVI. Even in a hung HoA, independent candidates and others invariably join a party to form a government.
(2) a two term politician get 30% of one year salary as a gratuity and no pension.
(3) a politician serving three terms or more get a gratuity of 50% one year salary and a monthly pension of 30% of their monthly salary. Don't forget we also have social security pension. This way we do not drain our government just to pay politicians who have already received their salary and also bring it more in line with our Public servants who have to work for upwards of twenty five years to get a pension.
