Comments of Barbadian pollster riles up ALP leadership

Antigua Sun: "Well-known political scientist Peter Wickham has harshly criticised leader of the opposition Antigua Labour Party (ALP) Lester Bird and his party calling on them to focus on performance, to take internal action to boost its political stocks and to take an active interest in the politics of the ALP.

Wickham’s article focussed on the “potential political scenarios for the ALP and the governing United Progressive Party (UPP).”

The ALP has however, taken exception to the article.

In his Nation News article, Wickham said Bird had essentially “set up” the ALP by contesting the 12 March election as its leader. He further stated that the ALP is in opposition but to some extent “saddled with a 71-year-old leader who appears weakened and somewhat compromised by allegations of scandal.”"
