On TargetSt Vincent and the Grenadines is currently into second gear as general elections to elect a new government are imminent. Unfortunately, but aptly, this period of campaigning and electioneering is called the “Silly Season”. It is also the season when the five-year phenomenon of promises is prominent, whilst the politicians transform to become the “ladies” and “gentlemen”, as no one wants to ruffle any feathers. But it is what it is, and given the political culture, that has become the modus operandi when the silly season comes around. Make sports count and let it be a factor in the upcoming general elections whenever the bell is rung.
