CAN BEAT DEREK TAYLOR
Two former Chief Ministers vying for PDM leadership BY VIVIAN TYSON SUN SENIOR EDITOR
Oswald Skippings is confident that he can beat the current leader of the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) Derek Taylor when the party holds its convention in the islandcapital of Grand Turk on June 29th and 30th. However, Taylor said he isn’t backing down from the fight and is equally sure that he can hold to the leadership post which he assumed less than a year ago. In an interview with The SUN, Skippings said his confidence about beating Taylor was based on the feedback that he was getting from the delegates, plus his ability to address the current social, economical and political issues. “I think I can beat him. The timing is right for my kind of leadership – strong, innovative with vision and proactive. I think my time has come for the challenges that we are now facing, not only with the British, but with the changes in the world economy. And this calls for innovative thinking and everything else that would put us in lockstep with the competition that is being presented in the world today.
