Peter Wickham, Head of CADRES
The recent CADRES Poll has added fervour to the political climate in Barbados with a general election constitutionally due by April 2013 on the horizon. The poll was anonymously funded and exclusivity given to the Nation newspaper. Regrettably the information was published by the Nation in the most non-user friendly manner which made the analysis and conclusion of CADRES a challenge to follow for some.
BU is pleased to make available the CADRES Poll in its original format. Thanks to BU family member (BAFBFP) for the assist.

If memory serves me correct the explanation was a last minute surge towards the Compton led administration. They did a lot of ground work days leading up or the election.
Maybe neither the DLP nor the BLP wants to win the next general elections. Remember, every few months, we’re hearing about a settlement in the Al Barrack issue ( one came a few daysa ago from RJ), however, the interest keeps going up, and the fact that the BARBADOS GOVERNMENT, not the DLP or the BLP is flouting the HIGHEST COURTS in the land by refusing to pay, does no look good internationally. With the posibility that the country might be down graded, again is bad news for any NEW or OLD governmen.Added to that is the situation of rising cost of living within the country, with these and many other serious matters to deal with, it has to be a fool or a patriotic bajan who would want to be the leader of the Government of Barbados at this stage.Either that party comes out spelling like a rose, or a “stinnky missy”.
We should put things in context and perspective:
between 1999 and 2007, in the so-called “great years” of the last administration S & P downgraded Barbados no less than three times, moving the country from a high of AA to A- 1999 and all the way down to BBB+ by 2005 with a negative outlook
The same people who now want to crucify the DLP on economic policy in a global recession and when the world economy was growing, the BLP failed to transform or restructure the Barbados Economy.
A vote for the BLP is a waste of time.
