I dont think Daniel is so noble, before his election to office a man of limited means working for his living , how do you explain in sudden wealth and substance. He is a rat abandoning his sinking ship to save his own ass..ets

Maclean Emmanuel ?really have we not seen the results of clueless politicla stooges running our country , do we really want more of the same. Even the informed and intelligent have proven them self to be unfit and improper in holding public office. It is time to choose our candidates wisely. We need intelligent well informed and morally credible leaders . God help us :-x

The writting is on the wall. A well placed agent of the ANANSI SECRET SERVICE (A.S.S.) have indicated to me, that while she was on surveillance, tactically placed in the afro of Minister Quinn, she overheard that, Min Daniel has been given the boot internally and Mac Emanuel will be running in St. Phillips South....

Gaston the time is right. Make that move from ALP/AT&LU to INDEPENDENT. The political climate in our Nation is ripe and ready for it.

"This policy has also been put into effect by the radio programme "for hire". I LOVE IT. COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.

As many are hoping an wishing for a new mandate to this present government, Daniel is the most important and valuable person at this time. He is the only one that if he breaks party line ca cause the country to go back to the poll and may the chits fall where they do. But his political future will be over that is for sure. I do not believe he will in the short time have a place in the Labour Party administration. perhaps overtime. And he may not survive the UPP supporters of his constituancy. But he has a choice to make, wich side of history he will be at. The man who caused the fall of the UPP administration or the wimp who did not had the couriage to put his action where his mounth was. I pray he does the right and just thing

**Fred** » 2012-04-26 18:27

Daniel will crawl right back into the UPP's Den. Mark my words.

**Mumba** » 2012-04-26 13:59

The people of Antigua and Barbuda will side with Daniel for putting country before party!

They will reject PM BS for putting his buddy David before Party and Country!

**SlyThatGuy** » 2012-04-26 13:57

Prime minister Spencer and members of his Cabinet shouldn't have to worry about whether or not to fire Wilmoth Daniel,because Daniel,before this time,knew that he would have to quit if his demands were not met. If he wasn't ready to depart,he would have seriously reconsidered before deciding to write this type of public letter to the prime minister.I mean,after Daniel stated that Spencer's style of governing is causing Daniel many sleepless nights,how would it look if he decides to keep on working with Spencer? Additionally,I'm curious to know what the prime minister meant by "an inquiry can hurt our government"? Is that an admission of guilt or is he trying to tell us that an inquiry will certainly reveal china's allegedly immoral deeds,in which manner Antigua & Barbuda will lose its financial support from China?

**Truth Be Told** » 2012-04-26 12:07

Jacquie Quinn - well I never knew ah so Jacquie "tan" for real. She is demanding that Daniel be fired? wow! She should not be talking.

Hilson Baptiste - I agree with Antiguan Woman. This is not an inquiry into a seasoned-rice cooking contest, so "Broddah B" should mute himself.

John Maginley - You want the letter retracted huh? How about you retract yourself from the position u currently hold carz u nar do jack squat!

Justin Simon - being himself. nuff said.
Harold Lovell - unusually quiet huh? I wonder why? Still waters run deep dem tell me.

What an uncomfortable Cabinet meeting that must've been. For Daniel to be in the same room with all others who see him as a "traitor"
Again, it takes GUTS to be in the position that Daniel is currently in.

**ANTIGUAN WOMAN** » 2012-04-26 11:39

What benefits are we seeing from the new chinese plants? I would think you do not reside here,so i will answer for you. ZITS,NONE, how do that translate into putting our interest first? Had our interest been first,the new plant would cost us less to operate,therby translating in some savings for apua,and in turn the public. We may be seeing in colors according to you,but sad to say you seem not to be seeing at all,the scales on your eyes are getting quite thick,i suggest you have them removed,before you go totally blind.

**R. Baptiste** » 2012-04-26 11:22

It is unfortunate that people who are blinded by red or blue cannot see beyond their wee little noses. Daniel, like Robin Yearwood is not concerned about the welfare of Antiguans & Barbudians. Daniel is concerned that his buddies; the xadxexs are not milking Antiguans and Barbudians for every penny they can, and that is no different than what Robin Yearwood did to us when he renewed the contracts with APC.

**Concern Antiguan** » 2012-04-26 11:05

Corts is a diplomatic thinker who the has pm interest at heart. Great caution to the pm.

**RAWLSTON POMPEY** » 2012-04-26 10:51

It may not be said that Minister Daniel's writing of a letter amounted to "...INFAMY" (paragraph 1). This word connotes "...evil, vile and ambominable."

Instead, he may be credited for displaying testicular fortitude in demanding "...ACCOUNTABILITY" from his Cabinet colleagues on a matter of grave national importance, public and media interest.

**ANTIGUAN WOMAN** » 2012-04-26 10:46

The PM may be thought to have thought Daniel a lesson,it is now time that we the people teach him(BS) a lesson.We should have massive protests,even it means blocking the raods that leads to their offices,they should not be alowed to continue their jobs,which we hired them and are paying them to do,until we get some accountability from them.It is not enough to sit back and allow them to act as though its business as usual, and people will forget,are we that stupid,this cannot allow to be continued,if so what next?

**ANTIGUAN WOMAN** » 2012-04-26 10:41

Firstly,the Pm accepting that an investigation would hurt his Govt,gives rise to reasoning that he knows what negatives will come out from the inquiry.(assuming that all this is true) Second, Hilson Baptiste do not possess the intellectual capacity to determine whether an inquiry is necessary or not, we,re not dealing with restaurant equipment here.As to Jackie Quinn,she has allowed arrogance to raise her to an extent,where she no longer sees reality,she must be seeing the #1 infront of the 9,so firing would not dent a hole with 18 left,she must be delusional and living in 2004 when they had a demanding lead.John Maginley,is such a non -entity that even he speaks no one really hears,its like blowing in the wind,he makes no sense, Retracting the letters will not erase it from the publics mind,which BTW wants an investigation also,neither have we forgotton about the bribery that was swept under the carpet.As to Dr Cort,the chasm has already been driven, even a show is put on inorder to hold the party together that will not appease us the public, it will only make it worse and show Daniel as one with no credibility.

**tenman** » 2012-04-26 10:28

Everton, thanks. We need persons like you to help us understand the mindset of the ruling class. I see like Chelton, you too have the ability to "hide in the bushes" This much needed ability has been missing for too long and may have helped from keeping us from being in the current ditch.

**country before party** » 2012-04-26 10:09

what daniel did was good he show the country once again that he is for the ppl of antigua and barbuda... grate JOB contiune to represent the people of antigua and barbuda and if that mean talking against his party do it.

**Truth Be Told** » 2012-04-26 09:57

Thirdly, I have something to say to you MP Wilmoth Daniel. Perhaps you are feeling uneasy about the ostracism from fellow Cabinet members. Please continue to hold your ground. Politicians seem to think that they will always be "in style" but one day the sun will set on their careers. "What kind of legacy will I leave?" is a question that all should ponder. So don't worry too much about the short-term effects of your recent decisions. Focus on the bigger picture - the future of Antigua/Barbuda. Stand firm, be resolute, be courageous - this is what the people elected you to do. When it comes to politics, TALK IS CHEAP but YOU have followed through. Thanks 4 keeping your conscience clear MP Daniel

**Truth Be Told** » 2012-04-26 09:56

First of all, what MP Daniel did took GUTS. Not many people possess the intrepidity to "go against the majority" so to speak. It is even harder when the majority are/were friends & colleagues. For this, I must say that I admire Daniel for his stance.

Secondly, I believe that Daniel is putting COUNTRY b4 party and even if he runs independently, the people of St. Phillip's South would re-elect him based hugely on his actions of demanding transparency from the gov't.

**ex supporter** » 2012-04-26 09:26

I really hope that Daniel has more surprises up his sleeve for them all.
