Wickham backs Mottley’s move

“A GOOD IDEA”. That’s how political analyst Peter Wickham described Opposition Leader Mia Mottley’s plan to canvass public opinion through a petition and lead a vote of no-confidence in Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler.
Stating that the vote  of no-confidence was not a surprise, Wickham called it “a good idea strategically”, but he was more impressed with the idea  of a public petition.
The pollster, who is head of the Caribbean Development Research Services (CADRES), added that even if the Opposition Barbados Labour Party did not achieve success via the no-confidence motion in Parliament, “if you succeed in the public domain  you can have an expression  of public displeasure”.
“She (Mottley) must realize  that the public is chomping  at the bit [and] disapprove  at the way the economy is being managed,” Wickham added.
