Cordel Tells GOB To Take a Chill Pill
posted (April 12, 2019)

PUP Deputy leader Cordel Hyde underscored much of what his leader said, with an emphasis on what the opposition perceives as unseemly haste to pass the law:..

Hon. Cordel Hyde - Lake Independence, PUP
"They gone to the Court of Appeals and the Court of Appeals say hold on busta, you can't got nothing April the 10th, hold on. Man up in arms, hold on, you can't expedite your appeal for something we won't grant, so you have to wait. The question that we ask fi we selves is, why the rush? Why the haste? Because that unno talk to - Me and you are friends, watch yourself member of Port Loyola, rest yourself. The people whe deh talk to, parrot the propaganda lines to them. Say oh, we only hurt because PUP deny we the right to vote in this referendum. The people that I talk to, that confused about this issue, whe mi stress about this issue, whe never know what to do about this issue; they were relieved that this thing was put off. (applause) But they man insist that we have to have this thing now, the Chief Justice gave this country an opportunity to take a little chill pill and try figure out this thing and get it right. How you would want rush to go to referendum when all of we people, ordinary people the bawl that they don't understand what the go on with the issue, that even though you spend millions of dollars, you got billboard in every open space, you have all kind of high paid actors and some lower paid actors the endorse this position. The referendum unit get expanded and you bring every single ambassador from me don't know where all, to come and talk on this issue and the people, the people still confused about the issue, still no sure what to do. Yes, we people they want vote, but this is one vote they are not confident about. I have never seen this level of stress in the electorate about an issue."
