HAVING BEEN GIVEN the green light by the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) to be a candidate once more, former Government minister Lynette Eastmond has vowed to take the St Philip West riding from Cabinet minister Dr David Estwick.

Posted by Payel Garcia 11 months ago: Eastmond will win by default since the electorate in Barbados is dissatisfied with the DLP. So don't think that it has to do with any special qualities the candidate thinks she has, the people would elect a dog if that was the the alternative to putting the DLP back in government.
