Philipsburg:--- Members of the National Alliance met with former island council lady Gracita Arrindell on Monday as they try to negotiate what position the National Alliance would give Arrindell should she merge the People Progressive Party with the National Alliance.
Arrindell held meetings with Independent Island Council man Theo Heyliger who plans to launch the Green Party for country election. SMN News understands that the new kid on the block would not be contesting the January parliamentary elections and the meetings with Arrindell did not bear fruit.
Sources say Arrindell has also met with the Democratic Party and that she has a deal with them. Asked about that at the DP press conference leader of the party Sarah Wescot Williams did not indicate if a deal was reached with Arrindell. However, she confirmed they have been speaking with a number of persons within the community.
