AN ALLEGGED ALPHONSUS/PAULINE MERGER COULD BRING A STIFFER FIGHT TO BRADLY THIS ELECTION!

After all the brouhaha about the selection process for the Choiseul/Saltibus candidate, Alphonsus St Rose biting his own tail now says, “The Hon. Philip J Pierre (Leader of the Opposition) and I have agreed on a framework of acceptance and acknowledgement in relation to the Choiseul/Saltibus impasse on how we can optimally serve the collective best interests of our people and the nation in a manner that would not taint the integrity of our expressed principles”.

“In a manner that would not taint the integrity of our expressed principles,” whatever is that supposed to mean, only Alphonsus knows. It leaves one to wonder if the guy is serious or is he taking advantage of the Stephenson King situation that has just arisen.  A classic Opportunist!!!!. He says, “The election battle lines having been clearly drawn. I am of the view that we must be united in a collective and strategic effort to remove this inept administration from our backs to save our democracy……..” Only now he happens to see the importance of uniting our people whereas he was dividing the labour supporters all the time with his crazy campaign, encouraging the supporters to disregard Pauline.

Alphonsus from early o’clock knew very well that he could not pull of the Choiseul/Saltibus seat as an independent yet still being the mischievous guy he has always been embarked on a process to hurt Pauline and by extension the Labour Party.

Now the tables have turned. His campaign was going nowhere , many labourites were already giving up hope on winning the Choiseul seat, but now King has breathed a breath of hope for the Labour Party Alphonsus now sees a break for himself. How cunning can this guy get?

He at no time during his statement made direct mention to Pauline. His whole alleged mission is shrouded in hypocrisy and bluff. But hear this, whom is he referring to in the next quote...Pauline or Pierre? The guy is sly!! “to negotiate in good faith, mutual respect and with integrity, for these are issues that are far more profound than either of us in the broader context of “country”. This has now brought us to a point of amicable resolution and closing of ranks for the greater good of the country.” 

How will Alphonsus bring his supporters into Pauline’s fold is a mystery to me, after all that has been encouraged and said. At the end of the day it may be a wise idea to put party over self and forget everything.

An Alphonsus and Pauline combination will create a stiffer fight for the incumbent. Choiseul has a history of never giving a UWP candidate two consecutive terms. Although the cycle of Labour getting two consecutive terms was broken when Bradly defeated Lorne at the last general elections, the cycle may be broken again with Bradly wining another term.
