APP poised to wrestle control from UF

It is the new movement's momentum that has apparently catapulted it into the political spotlight and revealed it as the front runner in the upcoming 2010 general elections.The charismatic leader, Brent Davis, has corralled some promising talents to challenge the incumbents.To topple this old dynasty it will demand a virtual coup . Anguillians have become so accustomed to the old style political system that most are reluctant to change.APP main focus however ,is change, and are vigorously vamping up their campaign to include the youths and other disenfranchised people.Will this strategy work? For them it must if they are to be victorious in 2010.
The APP is campaigning on a sound platform and details what they are prepared to do in terms of helping Anguillians during these hard economic times.Budget cuts ,better healthcare,and beefed up law enforcement are among things they prioritize.They are very specific in what they hope to accomplish if they are the elected winning party.Can they deliver on their promises if elected?One hope that they can implement the change all Anguillians seek. According to Mr.Davis ,they can and will deliver most, if not all ,of the things they promised.
The APP appears to have the backing and approval of many of the young people of Anguilla ,who feel left out or cast aside by the ruling Government.They believe that their voices are not being heard and show a real concern and fear for the future of Anguilla if the present Government remains in office.These young people are pumped up and ready to go to polls ,especially after the recent victory of their idol ,President Obama, in the US presidential elections.They have a new sense of empowerment that can translate into real victory for the APP in 2010.
The new vision of hope given by the APP is overshadowed by an older population who view them with doubt and suspicion.Claims of inexperience and lack of foresight run rampant among the older generation when the conversation turns to the electability of the APP.They question whether or not these young politicians can measure up in terms of leadership, experience and wisdom of the old politicians.They tout that on the job training or college degrees is just not enough to convince them to cast their vote for this party.It is painfully obvious that the road to victory will be a long and hard battle for the APP and its aspiring leader.APP,however will not be sidetracked and counters with the fact that its members are well educated and skilled in current situations and technologies,a necessary component crucial to dealing with real world problems. They contend that they are ideally suited and equipped with the expertise to deal with the present issues facing Anguilla as a nation and possess the abilities to interact and communicate effectively with other world leaders.
To win in 2010 ,APP must convince Anguilla's aging population of their competence and assure them that they can and are committed to doing the job at hand.Can these young upstarts win them over ?Yes it is possible. The APP must devise a careful but yet powerful campaign strategy to show their strengths , the programs they intend to implement and the time table in which to accomplish it. Only time will tell if they have the resolve to undertake this surmountable feat.For now ,though, their battle has just begun and they are off and running with a catchy phrase 'Vote for change ,vote team orange'.
