No problem

Two weeks after being replaced as party leader following the Barbados Labour Party’s (BLP)?February 21 defeat at the polls, Owen Arthur says he is not disturbed by no longer being at the helm.
“The notion of not leading the BLP is not a problem for me . . . . I really have had a wonderful life in politics. I am not bitter at all,” Arthur told the media yesterday.
He was speaking shortly after he and the other 13 members of the BLP Opposition had taken the oath of office before Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave at Government House.
Smiling throughout, an upbeat Arthur told reporters: “I am going to enjoy this session of Parliament . . . . I will be enjoying participating in these debates because I look forward to the intellectual challenge of what lies before Barbados.”
