Dear PM
It was not a surprise to hear the announcement that the General Election will be taking place within the next 90 days.
Clearly, the writing is on the wall that ABLP is in election mode. Unfortunately, UPP has once again been caught with their pants down and have alot of catching up to do.
Interestingly, I received a call from our constituency branch office yesterday, seeking confirmation wether or not my voter’s card is up to date. Well, the simple answer is yes. Furthermore, I will not hesitate to indicate that I am also Labour party supporter.
However, for this election, I am not too certain if I will be exercising my franchise. Many promises have been made by your administration but it seems to me that these promises are hoax.
Clearly the persons who I see as beneficiaries of some of these promises are the ones whose voices can be heard as the loudest on the airwaves on talk shows defending the Labour party.
My main peeve is concerning the roads & the late payments from Social Security. Our roads are extremely deplorable. Our licenses went up by 40% yet there is very little sight of road upgrades.
Initially, I was paying $682.00 to license my vehicle, now I am paying almost $960.00 yet my vehicle is faced with too many turbulences on the roads, especially roads like All Saints main road.
On the otherhand Social Security is still not living up to their obligations on time. Our sickness & maternity payments are been paid several months after the application has been submitted. Why not earlier? I need to eat & my picknee need to eat also. I also heard that some pensioners applied for their SS pension and are still waiting over a year for a dime.
I am sure that there are many more persons especially vehicle owners who share similar sentiments like me and therefore, the Labour party may not earn our vote.
Remember Mr PM, should your party face any casualties during this general election, it will be due to the poor decisions that you have made and the poor services that we, the residents & citizens are getting that certainly do not deserve.
Alex
