Opposition leader, Philip J. Pierre, has expressed concern over the level of political debate in Saint Lucia.
“It’s time that we raise the debate in Saint Lucia,” he asserted.
Pierre’s remarks came during an appearance on Blazin FM’s the ‘Morning Heat’.
In this regard, the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) leader declared that people should argue on policy.
“That’s my policy, what’s wrong in mine and what’s right in yours and how can mine be practical and yours not practical,” Pierre explained.
But he urged a stop to the use of social media to denigrate people and spread lies.
“I think social media should be where you educate people and not spread rumours and gossip and lies,” Pierre stated.
“I think it’s wrong,” he said.
“And if you notice, anytime I go on social media as a candidate, as a leader of the party, I go with a policy,” he observed.
