On election day barbudans will be in a state of relief. Bpm always change the frame and not the picture. Trevor needs to step aside and let a man who cares and have a vision at heart for barbuda lead. My opinon

For any candidate who can only win by 1 vote 2 times in a row shows how rigged the ballots are in favor of Trevor. Arthur is a far better candidate than Trevor. Watch the ballots closer next year!

These polls only proves that Labour Party supporters read the Caribarena. There is nothing Scientific about this process. Total waste of time.

Reality Check

Why is the ALP candidates always listed first? I believe that the incumbent should be listed first regardless of party. Its all about perception CA, but as independent stated just light entertainment.

Voter fraud?

#1 The Independent » 2013-02-08 09:12

If only we could tell how many of these votes came from Barbuda. Anyone want to guess? My gut tells me that the same people have been voting every day in all the polls. In other words, voter fraud. But that's ok because this poll is simply light entertainment.
