A Partnership for National Unity's (APNU), Lurlene Nestor used her One Voice News Network (OVNN) blog to blast the leadership of that party over its non-selection of several persons whom she felt should've been sent to represent the interests of their constituents in parliament.
This came a mere days after a seemingly mobilized group of APNU supporters from the Linden and Plaisance threatened to wreck havoc if former PNC General Secretary Aubrey Norton was by-passed for parliament. The act led to the convening of a meeting between those in charge of the selection process and Norton in an effort to smooth things over. Norton did not take his non-selection lightly and told members of the media that it was PNC leader Robert Corbin who had a hand in his omission. The two have not been on speaking terms ever since the Murray/Corbin leadership tussle.
Nestor wrote that a look at the APNU's list revealed that several of those selected are mere political hacks and hangers-on with connections to the King Maker (Robert Corbin). She said the exclusion of Norton, Nicole Telford, herself and several others from the APNU list of representatives is a glaring example of all that is wrong with the system used by the APNU to select its parliamentary representatives.
She also mentioned that the failing health of the NFA's Keith Scott is enough reasons why Nicole Telford would have easily been a more effective pick. Scott she said is simply unable to perform at the very high level required of this parliament and the fact that he was chosen further reinforces that merit was not a major criteria in the male dominated, closed door, selection process.
