DOUGLAS’ UNCONTROLLABLE AND DESPICABLE BEHAVIOUR DISPLAYED IN PARLIAMENT
Once again, the nation was appalled at the uncontrollable and despicable behavior of Denzil Douglas in the National Assembly on Tuesday 23rd January. This was in response to the news that he is being taken to court for owning and using a passport of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Dr Douglas once again showed his true nature. He quickly became angry, abusive and disrespectful to the Speaker and the Attorney General. He shouted, ranted and screamed like a spoilt brat simply because he was not allowed to get his own way to curse and abuse as usual. Speaker Perkins has established a different standard of conduct for 2018 and has encouraged all parliamentarians to adopt and act accordingly.
Dr Douglas was not in his home where he could do whatever he pleases. He was in the Federal Parliament. There needs to be a new ORDER in Parliament, a new standard so that parliamentary sessions are worthy of being broadcasted to the nation and to the world. Dr Douglas, in his entire public life, seems to have always taken the low ground and lived by being abrasive, abusive and aggressive to opponents and colleagues. Apparently he does not like to be challenged once he has convinced himself he is ‘right’.
This supremely self-righteous one thinks that he must be given his way every time. He needs to learn to show kindness and consideration of others and simple basic traits of love. Why does he not learn?
There is budding in the Labour Party a silent movement to replace him. These folks feel he will become a liability and a distraction just like Joseph Parry of the NRP in Nevis. They have theorized correctly that Labour will lose badly again at the next general elections and at this time they will move to replace him.
His disgusting conduct again in the National Assembly gives credence to this effort and these folks must not surrender to his egotistic ways. His ego is a cancer that will destroy Labour. Labour lost because of Denzil Douglas and he seems totally unable to acknowledge and accept the fact that he is a liability.
The difference in leadership style of PM Timothy Harris is so refreshing like a breath of fresh air. He speaks with intelligence and presents facts to support his points. His attributes as a leader can be emulated by the children of the nation.
Life is a teacher, time is a healer and Dr Harris has learnt from past mistakes and has since transformed the political landscape in SKN.
Each new day that dawns with Dr Harris as Prime Minister is a blessing for SKN and means a spirit of love, cooperation and collaboration will prevail between the sister islands, our people and political leaders.
On the other hand, each day that dawns with this angry parliamentarian who carries a Dominican passport with ‘mixed up’ allegiance to self, Dominica, and occasionally, St. Kitts and Nevis, creates a sad day for us in SKN.
This speaks to dishonesty, deception and a Trump-style effort to blatantly mislead the people of SKN by him. From his uncontrollable and despicable conduct last Tuesday, Dr Douglas should not be in parliament, should never be allowed in government again and should be replaced as the leader of the Labour Party.
