Just when Choiseul/Saltibus is gearing up for what should be a respectful, issues-driven campaign, former SLP candidate Pauline Antoine-Prospere has dropped a political grenade — right in her own camp.
In a recent interview, Pauline went on an unprovoked tirade claiming, “Labour lost the seat. Bradley did not win… Choiseul people are scared of Bradley… he’s lazy… all he does these days is give rum and chicken.”
Now, let’s pause for a moment. Whether you support UWP or SLP, such statements do absolutely nothing to advance the cause of unity within the Labour family. In fact, they hurt Keithson “Kiffo” Charles, the very man the Labour Party has entrusted to rebuild the base, heal divisions, and present a credible alternative to Bradley Felix.
Pauline’s comments only serve one purpose — to reopen old wounds from 2021 and remind Choiseulians how fractured the Labour campaign was back then. It’s baffling that someone who once sought to represent the people of Choiseul would so recklessly sabotage her party’s new candidate before he even gets a chance to connect with voters.
If Pauline truly believes in the development of Choiseul/Saltibus, she should be helping Kiffo — not handing ammunition to his opponents. The people deserve serious conversations about roads, jobs, housing, and youth opportunities, not personal attacks and bitterness from yesterday’s battles.
Politics should be about building bridges, not burning them. If Labour hopes to win Choiseul again, it must rise above such divisive rhetoric. Because right now, Pauline’s outburst didn’t weaken Bradley Felix — it weakened her own side.
