Lindsay Grant is Back! Oh the Horror!

"Lindsey Grant is back" herald the voice from the People's Action Movement Conference on Sunday 18th March 2012. It is inconceivable that after three terms of failed leadership under this man that the people of this "almost" party continue to rally behind an individual who seeks to undermine the civil liberties of our nation.

Mr. Grant has already shown the people of the nation what he has to offer in his infamous "Cash for Land" scandal and yet has the audacity to present himself as a leader? Further to their idiotic rhetoric they state that our leader has been in power for too long but Mr. Grant continues to try an imitate our beloved leader, the difference being that the leadership of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party cannot be questioned and continues to work for us and the nation.


As a youth it is quite disconcerting that the people of the PAM think that they are an appropriate alternative to our solid value Labour Party. For it is not a trend for which we MUST maintain with the Labour Party but a simple choice between right and wrong. Just looking at the history of our nation shows that the SKNLP is responsible for ALL major improvements of the conditions that took our families from being poor standards to the middle class standing that we are all now fortunate to know.


The fact that the leadership of the People's Action Movement continues not to change after their continued failed attempts to gain leadership shows that neither their philosophies or leaders are concerned that the people of the federation are not willing to entertain their ideologies.

It then begs to question, What if any morals have the people of the People's Action Movement?
