Success on merit

Article by Carol Martindale

MP for St Joseph Dale Marshall feels good about the Barbados Labour Party’s chances in St John.
He told the crowd that gathered in College Bottom, St John last night he believes the time has come for change.
“We in the BLP are here to bring hope to St John” he said from the political platform.
Marshall also said there was something flawed within the Democratic Labour Party that in 2011 they would embrace any arrangement that suggests Barbados is not a meritocracy.
“Success is based on merit, not by an anointing on someone’s death bed. St John is not for sale and it is not for [a] Thompson inheritance,” said Marshall.
He said the time had come for the people of St John to demand from the Democratic Labour Party a statement on what they have done to deserve to represent them.
