P-POD grew out of simple discussions about the current state and direction of Dominica, into what is now a viable third political party. P-POD is about progressive ideas which manifest themselves through policies and good governance, rather than simply be written in a theoretical philosophy of manifestos. One of P-PODs major functions is to continuously improve and promote the economic and social interests of all  Dominica's citizens. We seek to unify the people of Dominica so as to facilitate the development of policies favorable to all of our common interests. To be able to enact those policies, we plan to organize and persuade voters to elect future MPs so as to obtain a majority of seats in parliament. We will make our appeal to as many different groups as possible in every constituency. Our aim is to organize large groups of people under an umbrella of ideas (a platform) and focus on the development of those ideas and goals. Our Policy platform outlines P -POD’s positions on a variety of issues and the actions its leadership will take to implement them once elected. The People’s Party of Dominica (P-POD) has a responsibility to the Commonwealth of Dominica. We pledge to serve with integrity and to make progress everyday in actions, not just in words. P-POD promotes equity, participation, pluralism, transparency, accountability and the rule of law in a manner that is empowering, effective, efficient, and enduring. Structure and Composition.
