SLP MPs Declare Themselves Fearful Elections may not be Free and Fair!

Shortly before Tuesday’s rambunctious House sitting got underway, opposition leader Philip J. Pierre, in answer to a reporter’s query about the next general elections, said: “We are ready. We are very ready. We have candidates coming out of the woodwork. Good candidates. And we hope that when the time comes the prime minister calls the elections.“

He added: “We are also hoping the elections are free and fair, because we do not trust the government. So we are monitoring the electoral system very carefully.”  

Philip J Pierre pictured Tuesday in Parliament, had earlier expressed his distrust of the government, concerning the next general election.

The Castries East MP also took the opportunity to do some campaigning. He told reporters his party had attracted a “good mixture of candidates, including young people, women and people of ability.” As if further to explain the phenomenon, Pierre went on: “It shows our party is growing and people are excited and people are most of all dissatisfied with what’s happening in the country.”

During the day’s debate centred on the CIP, Castries South MP Ernest Hilaire cited an article in a local paper wherein the writer claimed Henley and Partners helped to undermine the CIP back in April, 2016, “specially citing its lack of transparency.”  Moreover: “Those of us that follow regional politics, know the role of Henley and Partners and we follow the hearings of the House of Commons about Cambridge Analytica. And in the presentation of this famous individual, he mentioned the role of Alexander Nix, spoke of the role of Cambridge Analytica in elections in Saint Lucia, and said that Henley and Partners were financing elections in the Caribbean.”
