  • Abstract Department of Political Science Westfield
    ABSTRACT DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE WESTFIELD, ALWYN W BA. HONORS UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX, 1976 MS. LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, 1977 THE IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP ON POLITICS AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES UNDER EBENEZER THEODORE JOSHUA AND ROBERT MILTON CATO Committee Chair: Dr. F.SJ. Ledgister Dissertation dated May 2012 This study examines the contributions of Joshua and Cato as government and opposition political leaders in the politics and political development of SVG. Checklist of variable of political development is used to ensure objectivity. Various theories of leadership and political development are highlighted. The researcher found that these theories cannot fully explain the conditions existing in small island nations like SVG. SVG is among the few nations which went through stages of transition from colonialism to associate statehood, to independence. This had significant effect on the people and particularly the leaders who inherited a bankrupt country with limited resources and 1 persistent civil disobedience. With regards to political development, the mass of the population saw this as some sort of salvation for fulfillment of their hopes and aspirations. Joshua and Cato led the country for over thirty years. In that period, they have significantly changed the country both in positive and negative directions. These leaders made promises of a better tomorrow if their followers are prepared to make sacrifices. The people obliged with sacrifices, only to become disillusioned because they have not witnessed the promised salvation. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that in the process of competing for political power, these leaders have created a series of social ills in SVG.

  • 2013 Budget Speech
    BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE, RESILIENT ECONOMY IN CHALLENGING TIMES BY DR. THE HON. RALPH E. GONSALVES PRIME MINISTER OF ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members, since our country’s attainment of independence on October 27, 1979, there have been 33 annual budgets. Robert Milton Cato, of blessed memory, crafted four of these budgets; Sir James Mitchell fashioned fourteen; Arnhim Eustace delivered three; and Budget 2013 is the twelfth which I am presenting. Each Minister of Finance has sought to make St. Vincent and the Grenadines a better place for its citizens; and to a greater or lesser extent each has succeeded despite the inherent limitations of our vulnerable small, multi-island economy and the awesome external challenges which confront us. Each national Budget has had its own peculiar or special frame against the backdrop of the general socio-economic condition. Each national Budget, too, is required to have its own focus, coherence, and developmental thrust. Each Budget is necessarily a house-keeping and developmental exercise, but much takes place, too, in the economy outside the Budget’s structured frame. For convenience, each possesses its own theme. For Budget 2013, the overarching theme is simple, yet profound: Building a Sustainable, Resilient Economy in Challenging Times. Mr. Speaker, it is inescapable that a Budget, especially in its developmental as distinct from its routine house-keeping function, is shaped by the Government’s thinking, explicit or implicit, in respect of the appropriate or relevant praxis – theory and practice – of economic development for micro-economies such as St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

  • BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23Rd January, 2006 by Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr
    BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23rd January, 2006 By Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. The Honourable Ralph Gonsalves INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members On December 7, 2005, the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines overwhelming re-elected the Unity Labour Party (ULP) to govern our magnificent country for another five-year term. The ULP secured a whopping 56 per cent of the valid votes cast and won 12 of the 15 seats. This landslide electoral victory was a massive endorsement of the ULP administration’s policies, programmes and performance. It is, too, a mandate for the ULP to consolidate, to refine, to deepen, and to extend its excellent work, policy framework and programmatic platform, as articulated in its Manifesto 2005, Better By Far! and the ULP Youth Manifesto 2005. A copy of each of these Manifestos was tendered as documents of this Honourable House during the recent debate on the 2006 Estimates. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the overall losers in the recently-concluded general elections unfairly maligned the sound reputation of our country and the good name of honest public officials and political leaders by falsely alleging that they — the overall losers — were in possession of “overwhelming evidence” of electoral fraud and electoral irregularities on a scale so large as to vitiate the verdict of the electorate. They falsely alleged that there was somehow a conspiracy of monumental proportions, involving election officials and the top brass of the Unity Labour Party, to steal the elections. They further alleged, falsely too, that the elections were in fact stolen and that they had the so-called “overwhelming evidence” to prove it all in the High Court by way of election petitions.
