John Blanchard Calls On Labourites To Put Country Before Party

At an electoral reform rally on Saturday evening, treasurer of the Concerned Citizens Movement, John Blanchard issued a call to Labourites far and wide to do the right thing; to put country before party and support electoral reform.

He said, “Ensure that your children inherit the same democratic systems that our forefathers fought and died for. Send a clear message to the prime minister and the Labour party that they must respect the law of the land; that they must use the state’s resources prudently and account to you”.

Blanchard believes that our country is at a crossroad and that our democracy is under attack. He said that when a Government refuses to implement electoral reform even after advice from overseas missions; when a Government refuses reform even after evidence that such reform has happened in sister island and when a prime minister takes the advice of a senior counsel who says that his (the prime  minister’s) re-election legacy will be affected by reform; we are in a bad place.

Blanchard says that the issue of electoral reform is not a partisan matter and so calls on all Dominicans to support electoral reform.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
