Dear Editor,
Nine governments in nine years, each one with basically the same people involved, just playing musical chairs election after election, this is absolutely absurd and it must stop if we are serious about re-building this island!
For the people of St. Maarten to decide on who they wish to lead, we must first be clear as to which direction WE really want to go, and not which direction the politicians tell us to go!
The best means for the people to express their choice, is to have a referendum, and if there are new elections called, then now is the time for that referendum! Yet, it is Parliament which must call for the referendum, or it is for the Kingdom Partners to insist the SXM Parliament do so! However it is done, it needs to be done in the next election!
Let the People of St. Maarten choose their own future;
Option 1 – Status Quo (stay the same)
Option 2 – Status Independence
Option 3 – Status re-integration into the Netherlands
