These scripted questions in estimates today are annoying. Currently watching the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade. It’s giving pre approved questions for an interview.
Personally, I don’t have an issue with having to go back to the people if an MP wants to cross the floor.
We’re having this convo now at 30–0 but imagine it was 14–16 and two people crossed. Are we suddenly talking about a new PM without an election? What would happen then?
#DecisionBIM: Barbados will now see its highest percentage of women MPs in its history within this upcoming parliamentary term.
Women will make up 30% of Members of Parliament, an increase from 26% in the previous term - ranking as one of the highest levels of female representation in CARICOM.
Tyra Trotman will be this term's youngest MP at 30 years old.
There’s an elderly woman who lives two doors down from me. Every morning she sits by her window with the blinds half open, watching people leave for work. I started waving to her. One day she waved back and motioned for me to come over. Her husband died three years ago, her friends slowly stopped calling, and her kids moved far away. She told me she keeps the window open because it reminds her she’s still part of the world. Now I stop by once a week just to drink tea with her. Last time I left, she said, “Thank you for reminding me I still exist.” I cried the entire walk home.
Somebody please tell DLP to give Ryan Walters the Form Captain badge and let them start from scratch so they at least have a chance for the next elections.. That’s really the only option at this point.
