He underscored the importance of continued legislative reform and called on supporters to remain united and resilient in their efforts.

“If you’re red in Antigua, you are red in Dominica. If you are red in Dominica, you are red in Antigua,” Skerrit proclaimed, stressing the shared values and principles that connect the two nations. He expressed a strong desire for opportunities to be provided to those in need, fostering hope for a brighter future.

    Every high thing must come down. You’ve been in power for 25 years and counting, and your people are running to Antigua for employment. You’re not ashamed, sir, of course not. How could you be ashamed when you and your generation don’t even know the cost of gasoline. Your children are being driven around by police. Your wife toothbrush is made of gold. You will find out on judgement day.

    I am blue in Antigua and red in Dominica, so Skerrit, you needs to get his facts right. It’s not all Dominicans living in Antigua that are red in Dominica are red in Antigua.
