The Barbados Labour Party (BLP) went from rallying and entertaining the country last weekend to reasoning with it last night.
Former Prime Minister and political leader Owen Arthur, the night’s final speaker, stressed why his administration was the better one for Barbados during the party’s first political mass meeting at the Bay Street Esplanade since the election date was announced.
Hitting the stage at 11:10 p.m., Arthur said that instead of the current Government explaining how it would improve lives, it choose instead to vilify members of the BLP.
“It is clear this is a broken Government. This is a failed Government. They should be giving account of what they have done. Barbadians are hurting. They want this Government to say when the hurting will stop. But we will stop the hurting,” Arthur said to loud applause.
