Shola the Farmer: from the backyard to a full-blown farm

PHILIPSBURG - Farm today or die tomorrow. That was the in-your-face text on a billboard in front of the agricultural ministry in Anguilla several years ago. Agriculture in St. Maarten has always been a bit of a sideshow with a few locals - like...

SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTARY

NOT MY VOTE!

Observations by Edwin James

Elections or snap elections on St. Maarten are nothing else than a replay of a horror movie and often with the same actors on the same mission with the same messages to the same masses.

VOTE FOR ME!
PEOPLE FIRST!
PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW!
WORKING FOR YOU THE PEOPLE!

These are all hollow and hilarious phrases that were never fulfilled and chances are they won't again.

Mostly the very same politicians who did not fulfill their promises in the last election they made to you are coming back to the very same voters asking them to elect them into public office again.

1) people wake up and smell the roses and coffee and don't be fooled over and over again.
2) people, history reveals and reminds you if politicians were never for you in the past they won't be this time for you either again.
3) people, many politicians were not there for you in your need and they never heard your pleas and plights so why should you give them your vote?

Be forewarned and foretold:
People should not promote politicians on their poor performances by giving them more pork, power, perks, privileges and positions in government.

To politicians who have been there and did nothing:  NOT MY VOTE!
