S2.E13: Mottley's Election Victory, Repeated in A&B?

Listen Later

Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley secures another 30-seat victory in the snap elections recently held in Barbados, meaning that her Barbados Labour Party (BLP) has again denied the opposition even a single seat. In this episode we ask why she and the BLP won so convincingly, and we ask whether the same resounding victory for the incumbent is likely to happen in Antigua and Barbuda as well.
