Honesty, integrity and selflessness are the basic attributes of a good political leader. These qualities can be mapped through careful and responsible analysis of political leadership, when the inquiry is premised on the merits and understanding of politics and how formal political organizations are led or managed.
Political leadership – probably more than any other form – is about honesty, integrity and concern for people and love for country (as has already been articulated), putting the latter first at all times. In essence, leadership strategy is not the same as
Now that the road-map to this discussion has been established, let me present the cases for measurement: ROOSEVELT SKERRIT v LENNOX LINTON. One of those leaders, Skerrit, is the current Prime Minister of Dominica and leader of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) and the other, Linton, is the Leader of the Dominica Opposition and the United Workers Party (UWP).
The rational for the study is that both leaders are elected parliamentarians who hold key national political offices. The other Dominican party leaders should, therefore, not feel slighted by their non-inclusion in this analysis. I should state also that I have assembled field intelligence, which clearly supports this focus on the two leading political actors in Dominica; they do command this attention based on the percentage of the people’s opinion which they earned from the field study.
My analysis of both leaders is guided by this scientific measurement of the leaders’ public profile, as has been alluded to. The following figures which are extracted from that scientific electoral survey of May 2018, therefore, represents respondents’ views on the leadership of Skerrit and Linton as far as honesty, integrity and selflessness

What I think would have added another dimension is adding the founding political leaders in the mix of this article. How their present-day successors’ measure to those great personalities who help shape Dominica from its infancy (getting its independence to how it is today).
OKAY!!! So are there only three political leaders in Dominica? Is there such a political party called The Dominica Freedom Party (DFP). Does it have a leader? YES it does. It is Economist, Kent Vital. Did you think he was not worthy to be included in your analysis or this simply a UWP article disguised as an analysis look at DLP and UWP leadership profiles and strategies?
HAHAHA – Freedom is Dead. When was the last time you heard anything? if Mamo was there, then maybe you had a chance at a few seats. But with the lack of Leadership in DFP. It’s impossible to keep the main alive, muchless win a seat.
Pawol, really great Article – this type of discussion and analysis is missing in today’s journalism circles. It’s really in-depth and I think unbias in its final anlysis.
Article is just justification and marketing for UWP. He trying to hide it as if is analysis, but PAWOL we know where your allegiance is.
I am sorry that’s not journalism. The article is too long. Filled with desperate nuances and rhetoric. Its really a pathetic attempt to boost the image of the UWP leader. I expected better from Alex – he paints this picture of being fair/balanced and walking the divide – but in reality, he is just another pen piece for a failed UWP.
