Broken DLP Promises

Reduction of VAT
The DLP will reduce the rate of VAT within 90 days of assuming office.

KENSINGTON OVAL
KENSINGTON OVAL will become "part of the family silver" within 90 days of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) assuming office.

"We are insisting that Kensington Oval, where hundreds of millions of hard earned taxpayers dollars are invested, must be owned by the people of Barbados and that is what we shall see to, within 90 days from Wednesday," Thompson declared. – Nation Newspaper, January 13, 2008.

LAND

The media is saying it. The private sector is saying it. Men in rum shops are saying it. Women buying their weekly groceries are saying it. DLP supporters are saying it. BLP supporters are saying it. Even the Central Bank is saying it.

The DLP’s economic policies are a failure!

They have succeeded in sucking the life out of the economy. Worse still they are terrible money managers.

They spent $182 million dollars more on day-to-day expenses than they earned in the first six months of the year.

Even the lowliest huckster with a tray in the market knows that if she spends more than she sells - trouble will soon come a-calling.

No manager in the private sector would keep his job for long if he ran his company this way.

Our Political Leader and Shadow Minister of Finance, Mia Mottley, has been resolute and repetitive in her call to the Government to act and act now.

Somebody needs to turn up the hearing aid.

Week by week business are failing and properties going into foreclosure.

The number of people losing their jobs continues to rise with little hope of any improvement in the job market in the near future.

What sort of man would say to a group of young people that he cannot provide jobs for them because the economy was in recession when he came to office?

Young people don’t buy into these half-baked, lame duck excuses.

They expect that when you are in office you need to find answers to the problems confronting them and the country at large.

There is something even more dastardly in this statement – it simply is not true.

The economy was NOT in recession when the Democratic Labour Party came to office.

In case Stephen Lashley does not know it, the economy only went into recession in 2009.

Are we to believe the DLP that as Barbadians, we are no longer craftsmen of our fate? Have we now reached a point under DLP rule when an elected Government of Barbados is willing to surrender our sovereignty as well as this country’s duty to manage its economic destiny to others? Will DLP policies again carry a: “Made in Washington Label?’

Imagine! Leaders all over the world opted to introduce progressive policies in their respective counties to achieve the above but here in Barbados - Thompson preferred to ‘wait and see,’ while Stuart now has a remarkable plan to wish the Barbados economy out of recession.

Having placed a gag order on Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition from even purchasing time on CBC - you know that something is definitely wrong and that Barbadians must therefore be very afraid when the DLP, which promised freedom of information legislation and good governance, would now seek to treat any criticism of and opposition to its horrible incompetence - as an attempt to destabilise the Government.
