Lennox Linton says PM Skerrit got UWP Electoral Reform proposals well before parliamentary met on May 23

​Opposition Leader Lennox Linton says United Workers Party proposals for electoral reforms, were formally sent to the Office of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, long before Parliament met on 23rd May, 2017.
 
He contends that in his recent address, Mr Skerrit appeared to have had the intent of deceiving the nation, into believing that the opposition had not submitted any document to him, or the electoral office, as regards their ideas for Electoral Reforms in Dominica.
 
Linton says, one of the main examples outlined by the UWP in their proposals, is the need for an accurate register of voters, where all eligible voters will be re-registered, thereby creating a new list which genuinely reflects the correct voter population.

​Meanwhile, Linton is once again expressing concern over the conduct of House Speaker Alix Boyd-Knights.
 
Linton says since the commencement of her engagement in 2000, she has failed to conduct the affairs of parliament in an effective manner, which allows fair contributions from all members of parliament.
 
The parliamentary opposition have over the years’ expressed concern, over not being allowed to effectively make fair contributions to the proceedings of parliament, which has in the past resulted in them walking out on several occasions.
