Dear Sir,
The political understanding of certain sections of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP) is no longer questionable; it is absolutely quea. And in the context of biological RNA-modified enzymes, relying on legacy habits and bad party politics is indicative of evoking Ti-Punch – and former prime minister Allen Chastanet, an extraordinary error in history, circus material, unfit to run an errand, even to purchase a Ti Punch (a traditional iconic cocktail) at a rum shop on Jeremie Street.
Untrained over the years, the UWP’s current composition is invulnerable to comprehension, and so too is their indulgence of concepts and political grounding.
In terms, it is no wonder that the public façade of the UWP is mentally dazed and immune to biological fatigue. And it is no wonder the party is sufficiently excusable that they keep losing elections and absorbing political licks, ‘beyond the ballot box!’
At the Annual General Meeting of the Castries East SLP Constituency Group, August 16, 2026, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre messaged personal responsibility of parents and the Saint Lucian community at large.
In simple layman’s terms, the prime minister communicated that school is opening. He further illustrated that if you drink 3 beers, drink 2 and a half in consumption and monetary terms, and save the other half to send your children to school.
In a jiffy, the linguistic, image, and practicality sequenced maths and reasoning. There is nothing wrong with that, sufficient to the diagnostics of expression, communicating an action of realism.
Education is primary to personal and national development. A necessary toolbox to fight the scourge of perennial poverty and sustainable development.
Within 30 minutes of the SLP’s live broadcast last Sunday, two and a half beers had the UWP political fossils talking – aimlessly. This was followed by AI images of beers and patronising material – soul food for the drunken masters and face of the UWP “ leaderless tribe.”
On examination of the UWP’s propaganda machine, there is a common stream. A dishonest capacity of convoluted political oddities, outdated stunts, fossils of bounty consumables and literary inebriate cohorts.
Inclusion in the education safety net is part of the experience that all Saint Lucians must avail themselves towards. The Pierre administration evolves around an ambitious education programme required of a developing nation, with practical solutions that have already produced results including, but not limited to:
- School teachers awarded XCD 1,400 teaching material allowance. An increase from XCD 800;
- Electronic learning devices, such as free laptops;
- Full final-year tuition for nursing students at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC);
- First Generation Scholars (one child per household) provides full and partial scholarships to help students attend universities worldwide;
- This year, the government will pay the cost of five CXC/CSEC for students;
- And next year, early childhood education will be free.
The Pierre administration has a combination of policy and compassion that delivers directly to the people most in need. And notwithstanding the current distraction, the Saint Lucia Social Development Fund (SSDF) is serving its purpose via the education assistance programme – ‘delivering educational services and support to poor families and the economically disadvantaged.’
What separates the SLP from the UWP is a record of delivered services. A social and educational programme that impacts daily lives, giving hope to ordinary Saint Lucians, who have never before received help from central government.
Every day deliverables ‘beyond the ballot box’ are a testament of caring, hope and support. Not Promises!
It is because of smart education and a social safety net that many underserved communities, parents and guardians are today rising beyond UWP political fossils talking aimlessly.
The UWP have focused their energy and initiatives on things that are not practical, accessible and affordable for the development of the people and the country.
In the meantime, UWP political fossils of drunkenness are hard at recovery, a process that will require ample years; the people of Saint Lucia are benefiting from social and economic opportunities created by the Pierre administration.
Sincerely,
Monica Fevrier
