PHILIPSBURG - It was a sea of white on Saturday morning in front of the Government Administration Building when the National Alliance leader and his team, greeted supporters after receiving a strong mandate from the electorate to complete the process toward Country Status for St. Maarten.

The National Alliance won Friday's final parliamentary elections of the Country, Netherlands Antilles, clean sweeping their opponents the PPA and the DP.

Friday's victory is being viewed as an historic one for the party as its the first time that they will bear the full responsibility for the representation of the island in parliament.

This loss for the DP is also their first in over 40 years, as they have always managed to maintain at least one seat in the Antillian Parliament.

National Alliance leader Commissioner William Marlin said thank you to the people and his team for their support in the campaign and the process of governing.

He also told his team as they celebrated that the hard work now lay ahead pointing to the looming date for constitutional change and the work that is needed to be completed.

Marlin also made special mention of Commissioner Theo Heyliger, thanking him for his support on the campaign trail. He also stated that the NA team had a 12th candidate in Councilman Louie Laveist. He said so in thanking him as well for his public support for the party.

The Councilman also stated on Saturday morning that Friday's victory at the polls for the National Alliance, was a sweet victory for him stating that, "God does not sleep".

The former DP Commissioner looked comfortable within the folds of the National Alliance on Sunday morning as he waved to cheering supporters who applauded the support that he gave to the National Alliance.

Although the National Alliance received a clear mandate from the electorate on Friday, they also gave strong support to the leader of the DP, former Commissioner Sarah Wescot-Williams.

on Statia, the Democratic Party won the election with 602 votes and the opposition PLP got 341 votes. 962 people voted there in Friday's election.

On Bonaire the UPB of Ramoncito Booi got 2 of the 3 seats and the DP of Jopie Abraham got the remaining 1 seat. Then on Curacao, the PAR party won the elections.

On Saba the WIPM party and their returning candidate Will Johnson, won the election for parliament. In percentage points the WIPM led with 63% and the opposition SLP with 36%.

Former Senator Johnson stated that he is looking forward to providing strong representation in parliament for his island of Saba. He also stated that he was elated with the support that he obtained a the polls from young Saban's.

Stats for the parliamentary elections on St. Maarten provided by GIS, can now be viewed in PDF format below.

Contratulations to all 3 parties on SXM for running a decent campaign.
Congratulations also to the NA for capturing all 3 parliamentary seats...a
historical feat. Congratulations to the people of SXM, to the organizers of the
polls for calling it right, and to Gerard Bijnsdorp for his article on the
elections....he,too, was right on the ball.

The workload ahead to
"country SXM" is heavy and there's not much time left in which to do it.
This is now time for all people who care for the wellbeing of this island and
its people to get on board. Stop the dirty "politic-ing" and contribute
positively to this process. It's full speed ahead; we can do it.

Come on sexy, I think the first move that the N.A. need to make is to send you

P.S. I'm sure this
will be the start of much needed changes on the island.

NA only got that win because of backstabbers like Louie laviest, i mean if you
did your shit and got caught why blame DP, and then on top of it. he had the
nerve to say DP did him wrong.....the only reason DP didn't win was because of
Ppl like Louie, Marie, system abusers couldn't get enough Roy selling out his
ppl with belvedere lots and Theo running away......

Fact remains that the ppl have spoken. The DP itself is at fault for allowing
the same ppl u mentioned to do all the foolishness they did. As long as the NA
doesn't screw up, the following election will be an even bigger victory for
them. So dont look for excuses. The DP just has to do even more soul-searching,
give strong opposition, and hope th NA screw up...

Congrats to NA on their victory.

The DP lost this election because there were
many mistakes and wrong decisions made (f.i. letting Maria go to please a bunch
of losers).
DP knew the outcome before the results were made known and we all
accept defeat at this point and will sincerely and gladly give the NA alliance a
chance to prove if they are the better politicians to lead us to ??????
I
personally do not believe in the date 10/10/10 (never did), be it via DP or NA,
we are simply not ready, there is still much work to be done, systems and people
MUST be properly put in place. I trust that the Ruling Government will have the
will power, courage and ability to make the right decisions. It is time for
Sarah to get a break from all of this stress, lick her wounds and recoup for
next election.

Sarah "IS THE BIG WINNER" in this election, she has
proven that SHE is far from being “washed up”, she actually won the
election, on an individual basis. While NA won the election as a party, SARAH
GOT THE MOST VOTES, more than even William Marlin. Her choice in candidates was
very weak, she was (mis)-led by those who surrounded her. That is a fact. There
are very few credible and qualified persons who want to go into politics and
that is such a pity. (Especially when they saw what happened to Maria).

I
however, sincerely, wish the NA much strength since the road ahead will be a
difficult one. Keep your head on and take your time to properly put the final
touches together. Don't let us end up like those Islands who’s people have to
run away to find a better life elsewhere. Our people have been there and done
that, don't want to do it again. Right now we, sxm, is the jewel of the
Caribbean. Much has to be done but yet we are far more prosperous than 90% of
the other Islands around us. It is good that NA is fully in control on both
Island and Federal levels. Now we will see if they can deliver what they promise
to do, without blaming anyone else. I must admit that they do have some good
people on their team, f.i. G. Pantophlet, R. Samuels and P. Illidge.
Don't let
greed, arrogance and ignorance lead you, may God be your guiding light.

I would like to congratulate the winning Party National Alliance for their work
and dedication that they have been and still are contributing to the people of
St. Maarten. This has been a decade of many triumphs and breakdown for both
parties. I'm sure they are still learning from mistakes committed and trying to
recuperate from them. Let this victory of the NA prove to DP, PPA, NA
themselves, and other future party to come, that we the people are behind those
who are willing to work and not for the salary, but who above else, work for the
people in making St.Maarten a Better, Healthier, and thriving beautiful isand
not only for the future of St. Maarten but as well for the present.

From a
non-born St. Maartener physically but born St. Maartener Spiritually.I was
conceived here but born on my parents homeland. I love my Island home St.
Maarten and will do anything to see my island and my people of St. Maarten
develop and hopefully soon become country St.Maarten.

Must say congrats to NA for their victory
how ever one must not fail to
acknowledge WHO these people are... while the colours have changed the people
are still the same... my hope is that these old dogs didnt learn any new tricks
to fool the people and that they are ready and willing to do whats best for the
people... my other hope is that SM people... or whats left of them start to
stand up for them selves... inform your selves and ask questions and demand the
answers to those questions. it is a custom that we kinda for get about politics
and leave the politicking (politricking) to our elected officials... no we
should not do that... we shouldnt even give dem a chance to rest... it is to
important this time to let these rats get away wid da cheese leaving us wid
nothing but crumbs... it is time to take up the stick and time to beat the
drums... a higher level of vigilance will be needed from the the average
citizens of SXM and the intellegentsia must realize it is their duty to help
protect the economy, the environment and the PEOPLES of SXM... wheather they are
foreign or local
long live country Saint Martin

This is the problem with many of our students attending school all over the
world. When we send our children over seas to study many can not pass basic
english, why because of this "short hand jargon we use in our common
conversations. If we learn to write properly it will carry over in the way we
communicate in the business world. I do not see my self as a perfect English
writer, but I am willing to improve, as we all should

Democratic Party one of the BIG reasons why you were swept out, out of this
election is because you fail to listen to the cries of the people on our
island.The people are hurting,lossing ther jobs because of Mr Ferrie and his six
months contracts to Antilleans,who work hard for what they want,pay their
taxes,svb and so on.Antilleans want to get(a loan)to build there dream home for
their family to live comfortably and in good health.Foreigners coming here
working without a contract and then put into permenant service after two months
on the job and Antilleans have to go home, then these same Antilleans who lost
their jobs have go back to the same corrupt D.P government for a second
job.Shame on you D.P.The reason why you the D.P did not clean-up this abuse is
because you had your hands deep down in the cookie jar.A reminder" The same
people that put your party in government is the same people that took you
out". LISTEN TO THE CRIES OF THE ANTILLEANS.

Theo you are politically dead, You can take that to the bank. You campaigned
for NA under false pretense that you were neutral. You and your family have
voted blank to send a message but the only message that is their is for you to
pack your wax and go home. The NA have used you for all you are worth . The
projects will be completed and will continue without you. You thought the sky
will would fall in without you but it is still there.
Loiue , your assology
will be in jail where you belong pretty soon. You fooled the Hiatians like is
DP had send you to do all your wheeling and dealing. You and Roberton have
nothing what they call shame. All you shame box mash up. Sarah, just hold
tight, this is just a passing cloud , the voters were not pro alaince they
believe Louis and they too will pay. Just take for example how the haitains
dumped biscuits sent to them as relief supply. One donkey said the biscuits was
expires and all others believed. the same way they belive Louis.

I don't agree, Theo being a traitor, in fact I believe he did the right thing by
leaving the DP, as the DP wasn't doing the right thing, as Theo once said:
"This DP is not doing what his grandfather wanted", meaning they driving
on the wrong side of the road, putting themselves in danger and the NA threw
their "ass" off the road to the side, with "two tires" lost
(meaning: Laveist and Heyliger). RRM thinks he is sooooo good, but he
arrogant-self did NOT do good for the DP, thought he could measure up to Laveist
and Heyliger, well apparently not! DP go sit back and smell the Coffee!!

Some time ago, I needed to buy a building for my organization but I didn't have
enough money and couldn't buy something. Thank goodness my friend adviced to try
to take the mortgage loans at reliable bank. Hence, I acted so and used to be
happy with my bank loan.
