Gonsalves was speaking at his party rally on Sunday 17th November2019, which was held to celebrate 25 years as a party in active politics. Gonsalves told the large gathering “that anytime anybody, any traitor, any renegade any castaway who leaves the Unity labour party which is a\u00a0labour movement and a family is dead politically”. <\/p>\n
“We have had one or two oppurtunist of different idelogical shapes and sizes,but you cannot leave the labour family and say you are you intrested\u00a0in\u00a0the people because the most progessive politcal movement in the region is the Unity Labour Party and the Unity Labour Party government so if you were to to say you intrested in people and you are a renegade, a traitor or castaway you’re simply and oppurtunist” Gonsalves said. <\/p>\n
“You would recalled that in the year 2000 there were\u00a0two gentlemen who are persons\u00a0of substance who thought that they could divide the labour family, they ran in 2001 election since then we\u00a0haven’t heard from them politically, you don\u2019t leave the labour family and\u00a0survive if you intrested in politics, impossible” Gonsalves said.<\/p>\n
Since 2001 Mr. Ken Boyea, Stalky John and recently Speaker\u00a0of the house Jomo Thomas who a ran for the ULP had left the party. Boyea and John formed their own party the PPM and contested\u00a0 the 2001 elections and lost. <\/p>\n

Gonsalves\u00a0also asked the gathering for a larger majority\u00a0at the next polls, I don’t want any one seat majority, I deserve more than a one seat majority in my farewell run, help me to prepare the way better. <\/p>\n
