{ATTN: WATCH VIDEO ALL THE WAY THROUGH, EVEN TO THE CREDITS, ALL HAVE A BEARING ON PRESENTATION} Owen Arthur insists the BLP, which has undergone a crisis in Leadership since October 18 in 2010, must heal itself in time for General Elections which are constitutionally due by April 2013.

Arthur made the plea at an unprecedented Run Off held at St Alban's Secondary over the weekend, gesticulating in a manner redolent of Hitler, equally reinforced by a slim moustache and muscular vocals - the former PM who was defeated in a landslide in 2008; he urged people to reconcile all sides of the BLP and to accept that two individuals cannot mend the affairs of a Political Party administered by a Constitution.

(The ex-Leader was making a veiled reference to Former Opposition Leader Mia Mottley's plea to negotiate a way forward to avoid the Run Off which would essentially reduce the current Opposition's standing by one seat, many see the ploy as an effort by Arthur to punish Eastmond {who held St James North for 5 Terms unopposed until now, Arthur basing his claim how Eastmond in 2008 did not wish to run but 4 years later, stated a renewed interest in campaigning once again} for supporting Mottley in her bid to retain the reins of leading the BLP into the next victory at the Polls...)

Arthur then stated such diversions will only fuel the ruling DLP to use the schism as ammo for Elections which may come at any moment, as if the man who called Clyde Mascoll a "Political Quisling" (referring to the then DLP Opposition Leader's shift to the then ruling BLP), seems to have inside knowledge when Barbadians will next be called to vote for a new Government?

Using the DLP as a fulcrum to shift the audience's attention away from the ever widening gap between his Old Guard policies and Mottley's New Age Social Media stance, Arthur then revealed it is the DEM's intention to spend at least Half A Million dollars on a special 20-20 Cricket tournament just before or after the Crop Over festival later this year between the June to August period.

The St Peter MP, who self demitted his Tour of Duty as Opposition Leader in 2008 after a massive drubbing from the Bajan Electorate, also sought to divert attention using the DLP's policies by looking at initiatives from Bridgetown MP -  Patrick Todd; which Arthur claims were originally based on BLP concepts to provide a $10,000 per residence to benefit renovations in the City area...
