When WE got rid of Kenney with the majority of the push coming from groups like FB’s Holding MLA’s Accountable, they took credit for that piggy backing on it. NOW they are “calling for a referendum” regarding the APP? DS has already stated there will be a referendum once the figures have been given to the UCP, WHY is David not giving the party credit where credit is due? Maybe it’s just a bad day but he annoys me.
