Before we formally present what we are about to propose, (S.T.A.R) an initiative that will fundamentally reshape Dominica’s political, economic and social direction. We must first confront the political reality as it exists today.
This discussion includes the Dominica Labour Party under Roosevelt Skerrit, the United Workers Party under Thomson Fontaine and the extended leadership circle of the Dominica Freedom Party, the United Progressive Party and other peripheral actors who resurface only when elections approach.
While history shows that power has effectively rotated between two parties, all are included here to eliminate excuses, deflection, or manufactured outrage. The central question remains simple and unavoidable. What are they all offering the people of Dominica today? The verifiable answer is nothing of substance. Their platforms are public. Their websites are accessible. Anyone can review them. What you will find is the same recycled framework across all parties:
- Leader biographies.
- Donation portals.
- Generic mission statements.
- Empty generic promises to “fix” housing, healthcare, governance and the economy.
What you will not find are detailed policies, implementation plans, timelines, or accountability structures. They avoid specifics because specifics create responsibility. Vagueness protects failure.
The Dominica Reform Party does not operate this way. Our proposals are written, structured, detailed and publicly available. We define problems, explain solutions, outline execution and expose consequences. That is precisely why the political establishment here in Dominica refuses to engage us.
For over nine months, every major party has been publicly challenged to respond to our comments and our Path Forward. Not one leader has issued a rebuttal. Not one policy has been disputed. Not one argument has been dismantled. In politics, sustained silence is not a coincidence. It is strategic avoidance. Our platform has been reviewed almost 17,000 times. Those readers include supporters, critics, undecided citizens and political insiders. Still, no formal responses. That silence speaks louder than any campaign speech.
Now, let us address what happens when an election is called. History tells us exactly what to expect.
- Money will suddenly appear.
- Projects will be announced overnight.
- Foreign funds, particularly from China, will be injected at speed to finance optics.
- Lots of giveaways.
- A nd political survival.
This is not development, it is electoral manipulation funded by debt. Here is the strategic truth the Dominica establishment does not want discussed:
Take what they offer, and then demand more.
Those funds are not gifts, they are debts placed on the backs of future generations and a mortgage on Dominica’s sovereignty. If these party leaders are going to mortgage our country for votes, extract every benefit possible, then end the cycle at the ballot box. Use the player the way he has used you. Then vote him out!
Send a clear message. Shame the system. Reject the transaction. Let those responsible carry the political and financial consequences of the debt they accumulated in your name. If Dominica owes, let it be clear who created that obligation and why. For decades, Dominican politics functioned as a closed loop, changing faces while preserving outcomes. Speeches evolved, but conditions did not. Elections were held, but accountability never arrived. That era is ending!
The greatest threat to the Roosevelt Skerrit and his establishment is not only a new political party, but also an informed population. Citizens who understand that titles do not equal competence and rhetoric does not equal governance.
- They fear scrutiny.
- They fear comparison.
- They fear a public that finally recognizes the pattern.
Dominica is no longer confined to a two-party illusion. It is entering a phase where a third party, the Dominica Reform Party, offers ideas and solutions that withstand examination and leadership that has earned legitimacy. What the Dominica Reform Party is about to present next (S.T.A.R) will force every political actor to choose to either engage seriously or be fully exposed.
The BIG reset has already begun.
