Philipsburg: --- Newly elected president of the Democratic Party Michael Ferrier said the board of the DP stands fully behind its leader and they intend to do an assessment of the party members in order to know where they stand. Ferrier said it is no secret that the Democratic Party has had some internal issues (turmoil) within the party. The intention of the new board is to conduct an internal and swat analysis to determine the strengths and weaknesses of its members.
Ferrier said this task will be conducted by professionals since they would not be looking for people who would tell them what they want to hear instead the new board would seek people who would tell them exactly what they needed to hear about their party. He said the Democratic Party is committed and they need to make sure they have people who are fully supportive of its leader. The leader does not have to keep wondering whether or not persons are there when she needs them.
The party he said would focus on the needs of the voters and the people of St. Maarten as well as the reality of the island.
