In the aftermath of Pauline Antoine-Prospere’s reckless remarks about former MP Bradley Felix, one voice has stood out for its clarity, maturity, and courage — Darrion, who himself once vied for the SLP candidacy against Keithson “Kiffo” Charles.
While others scrambled to justify or downplay Pauline’s outburst, Darrion delivered a message that cut through the noise with sharp precision:
“A campaign is only as strong as the voices that represent it. When those voices speak recklessly, it doesn’t just hurt your message... it defines it. Taking that sort of shot at one of the most liked men in the political arena isn’t strategy... it’s madness... Borderline naive politics at best. You now provoke an entire base — one that was once merely disengaged... But now you’ve awakened what was dormant.”
That’s not just political commentary — that’s a masterclass in discipline and self-awareness.
Why Darrion’s Words Matter
Darrion’s statement hits home because it speaks to a truth every political organization must face: unity is fragile, and words spoken carelessly can destroy years of work in seconds. His response was not about taking sides; it was about defending integrity and reminding party members that campaigns are not won through chaos and bitterness — they’re won through focus, respect, and vision.
By condemning Pauline’s divisive remarks, Darrion proved that leadership isn’t about holding a title — it’s about having the courage to say what’s right, even when it’s inconvenient. In doing so, he sent a powerful message to both camps: the people of Choiseul/Saltibus deserve better than childish politics and cheap shots.
A Wake-Up Call for the SLP
The SLP needs to recognize that reckless rhetoric alienates more voters than it attracts. Pauline’s comments didn’t hurt Bradley Felix — they energized his supporters and cast doubt on the SLP’s readiness to move past internal fractures.
If the party wants to regain credibility in Choiseul, it must follow Darrion’s example — measured, mature, and mindful of the people it claims to represent.
Final Word
Politics should be about ideas, service, and vision, not bitterness and division. Darrion’s words remind us that restraint is not weakness — it’s strength. Choiseul/Saltibus deserves leaders who can rise above the noise and speak with dignity.
Kudos, Darrion — your honesty is refreshing, your reasoning sound, and your message needed.
