Dear Editor,
Politician in both territories of St. Maarten and Curaçao should join hands with both UP and MFK leaders to help bring better opportunities towards the people whereas if UP and MFK get into power Aruba will join both UP and MFK leaders as a move toward The Hague to demand the needs for their people for each three territories of the former Netherlands Antilles.
But for this to happen for the three territories leaders to hold one head, one mind and determination to put St. Maarten, Curaçao and Aruba as one great team, the people must put the government in the hands of UP and MFK to govern.
The people in the region and the rest of the world seeing the politicians are fighting against both the UP and MFK leaders whereas voters still have great confident in both the UP and MFK leaders.
The writing is on the wall, the voters not against the UP and MFK leaders it is the local politicians that playing enemies against these two individual leaders. (The people Nelson Mandela.)
Let us all hope next election 20-20 there will be district representatives in every district whereas politicians will get votes.
Only at their district nowhere else and they will stop jumping ship. Take for instance buses not running Middle Region, Sucker Garden, Oyster Pond, Dawn Beach, Guana Bay, and Pointe Blanche if St. Maarten had district representative and the Minister for transportation from the district, no buses not running, he or she will not get a seat in these areas.
Look again US $2.00 from Philipsburg to Marigot but when bus drivers put Middle Region People by the tamarind tree for US $1. 50 and a gypsy take them from the tamarind tree to inside Middle Region, for US $1.00 they paid in total $2.50 more than if they were going to Marigot.
Middle Region people pay gypsies from Middle Region to Pointe Blanche US $10.00 to US $14.00 roundtrip per person per day no parliamentarians, government, or ministers for transportation has helped the people with these transaction problems.
Middle Region road is better and stronger than Philipsburg street, why no buses not running in these areas? Why there are so much parties on this small Island? Why candidates that not elected not remain active on things and situations that need to be done for betterment for both the Island and the citizen, and why you all not getting more involved in NGO's and more self-employment?
The World is watching the elections. I’m predicting eight to nine seats for UP party, three to four seats for NA Party, one to two seats for DP party and, two to three seats for US party. For those other parties there's a one seat opportunity for them depending on the number of voters cast their votes the people are fed up since Claude Wathey gone.
It don't seems there will be a coalition government because if UP party and MFK party win or get to govern St. Maarten and Curaçao, Aruban citizens will jump up to the sky, the Angels are singing and dancing (St. Maarten, Curaçao and Aruba government will become a great team; together these leaders have common creativities in mind for their people.
Concerning the Chinese project the population seem not appreciated, not going well with the citizen of St. Maarten, so politicians elected be wise, hold the bull by horns and act on all the negative things the people don't like about the Chinese people and if UP party and MFK party get to govern Aruba St. Maarten and Curacao will have one voice dealing with
Holland that will make history these leaders are powerful in the region.
