Saint
Lucians will remember that the St Lucia Labour Party, while
in opposition, expressed the strongest opposition to the
introduction of Casino Gambling here, and they led most
Saint Lucians to believe that they would never support Casinos.
This, the UWP considers to be a blatant act of
deceit, and as such strongly believes that no political
party must ever mislead a people or a nation in this
manner.
Consequently,
the UWP calls on the Prime Minister to live up to his
frequent promises of transparency and accountability, and
immediately begin widespread public consultation, involving
all interest groups, to determine the wishes of Saint
Lucians on this sensitive issue.
The
UWP further calls on the Prime Minister to withdraw the
proposed legislation on Casino gambling until the public
consultations are completed and the wishes of the St. Lucian
public have been ascertained.
