The most recent CADRES poll which surprised many that DLP leader Fruendel Stuart had eased pass Arthur has been reversed. Under pressure to explain the weekend poll which bucked a trend, Head of CADRES Peter Wickham took the sensible decision to redo the poll. The euphoria displayed by the DLPites has been short lived because the new poll has Arthur leading Stuart 37% to 32% with a 7% swing in play.

    Preconco arrangements with the GoB over the last three years were nothing short of scandalous.. These arrangements were never reviewed by the opposition campaigners now were they … If Preconco is not mentioned in the campaigning season there is an obvious reason.

  2. How can anyone in their intelligent mind respect the latest so-called POLL. it is clear as day that there was political manuerving taking place to confuse and divide I sense a need for urgency coming from the quickness of the poll using the excues of” flaw”

    The same newspaper is $10 million dollars richer in advertising revenues thanks to the DLP. This will translate into large bonuses and writer’s fees to the same columnists.
    What do you say to that, town crier?

  4. I have listened to the words spoken at West Terrace and since my friend Old Onions has asked by name for me to comment I will.

    I did not hear the name of Freundel Stuart mentioned. Not even by inference, the only charge that any reasonble person could lay against Freundel Stuart is that he knows the person of which many speak and was not willing to jettison the same person on hear say. Why do I say hear say, because it is evident that many people did not know the true story of what is purported to have happened.

    Can I blame Freundel Stuart who said that the first time he entered David Thompson’s office was when he became Prime Minister. I deduce therefore he was not part of the inner circle. I have not as yet heard anything to implicate Freundel Stuart. That does not mean what we heard is good. . .but that is a completely different issue.

  5.

    Sadly you will never hear anyone bring up Preconco or its major shareholders among others because they will be lining up to get their share whenever the goverment changes.

    “The same newspaper is $10 million dollars richer in advertising revenues thanks to the DLP”
    If the DLP spent 10 million , you would admit that the BLP spent about 35 million.
    Listen, a lot of people still read the Nation and therefore , you still need to reach them, In the same way that Owen Arthur lambaste CBC but every night BLP ads are on tv.
    Get real and deal with the issue Miller – We have a situation in Barbados where all the newspapers and the major radio stations which are owned by them are under the influence of the BLP. That is total media domination.Given Arthur’s penchant for putting his hand in the cookie jar to help himself and his “consultants”,where will we get scrutiny of an Arthur government? Certainly not from Albert “Mascoll” Brandford, Sanka Price , Pat Hoyos ,Ezra Alleyne, Harry Russell and Peter Symmonds. All these Nation columnists sing in the BLP choir. Where are the real journalists?

  12. Did I hear that idiot Ian Gooding – Edghill get on the tv and say that other Caribbean countries are doing so much better than Barbados. More Lies. Of course, he did not name any of these countries nor explain why if the other Caribbean countries were doing so much better than Barbados, why are they all seeing a change of government. The global recession and downturn in our source markets are real. The BLP is trying to deceive Bajans and is lying to voters- making unrealistic promises which cannot be fulfilled.

  13. Tomorrow night this time Denis Kellman of the DLP (MP for St. Lucy) will be leader of the opposition.

    you got your answer, havnt u? That was a load of rubbish u had written. In polling, you go into a constitunecy and u randomly selcect persons to poll. How would u know who is b or d. Futher, u try not to use people from the ares who would have an idea of people’s political perspective. The same goes for telphone polling.

    as don marshall said, those who have been exposed to survey methods of social investigation, can conduct a poll, as long as the instrument is well constructed and have been tested before being fully implemented, I have done that course over thirty year ago, and it was on of the course that i relally enjoyed,

    That 2nd poll was designed to confuse, even I had some apprehension at first, but after doing my analysis of the situation I had to reassure some of my friends that we were going to still win 17-13.
