Moving on! The last point he made that I wish to speak about, he said in 2020 there was absolutely low voter turn- out! Guess what? True. But why? Let us dial it back. The OBA could not even find 36 candidates.

The OBA could not find 36 candidates. They dragged one off the street and put him down in C -1. Some guy called Smokey. Another guy who showed up [came wearing] a wife beater . Let us do the math, Mr. Speaker. Each constituency is about 1,300 voters. If three of them never even had an elec tion, that is …

You can remember the days when seats in Paget were considered the holy grail of the UBP. Mr. Speaker, in C -22, guess what? They got 57 per cent of the votes. That means what? We are almost going to take that seat from you. [Inaudible interjection]

Definitely not. So, Mr. Speaker, as I said, in time we chum up the water. And there is a saying. If a fish did not open his mouth, he would not have gotten caught. SELF -DETERMINATION —THE NEED TO EDUCATE OUR PEOPLE

Mr. Speaker, let me move on to something that my Honourable Member from constituency 7, who is enjoying being in the House, said. Self-determination. Mr. Speaker, we have Members in this House who are advocating for us to always discuss about same -sex marriage, advocating for us to talk about population increase. Fine, no problem.

It is pretty hard to follow up on that, but let’s just say the PLP is living rent free in some people's minds because every day they are tal king about us. Mr. Speaker, I just want to take five minutes. I want to thank Dr. Peets for his service to the country and to the people of Devonshire. [Desk …

I want to thank the Attorney General and her PS and her staff for the work that they have been doing on self -determination. I cannot say the “I” word, but self -determination. Mr. Speaker, some people do not really know history. They have this concept that countries that went independent were better off underneath . . . being colonised. …

The “S” word! Mr. Speaker, let’s talk about England for a m inute. There used to be this show called Fawlty To wers. Anybody remember that show? John Cleese. Everything was always breaking down . But that is English politics. For years and years they sat there and let Boris Johnson lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Yet Ministers went on …

That is an omen. That is an omen. So what happened? Liz Truss had the first Black chancellor of the United Kingdom. Those Oxford guys couldn't take that. She threw him under the bus. A couple of days later, they threw her under the bus. And now we have Rishi Sunak. And the first thing those people said is, We …

My apologies. When I initially heard of this move, I was a li ttle bit, how can I say, reluctant to accept it based on the historical context of what the Parish Councils mean to us. Over the interim time in between when it was first presented to now, the Minister has taken time to consult with the Parish Councils …
