​There are too many psychological manipulations going on within Dominica’s economic and sociological systems, says Senator Ronald Charles, UWP Candidate for the Roseau Valley Constituency.
 
Charles was describing the current psycho-social disposition of the people of the country, and how it has fallen victim to the Skerrit-led DLP Administration.

​Senator Charles says dependency on government has been encouraged to an incredibly absurd extent, where persons are made to feel that they should call their Parl Rep before calling their doctor, if they fall sick.
 
He says these mental games of power dominance need to end.
