Respect and Dignity: A Call for Principles (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: He was disrespected. His CEO went out to do something that was not authorized by the executive of the People's United Party. I am an executive member. And nothing was told to us. And he was disrespected. His dignity was taken away. And that's not good. For anybody. We, as a nation, we have to look out for our elders. We have to give them respect. This man has won five times. This man won six times. This man beat us up in cabinet whenever he come or whenever he's away. Nothing for himself. Always for his village, for his people. He was disrespected. And I stand by that. And I called him and I said, Mike, what's happening? And I could feel it in his... Mike not emotional, but I am. He isn't. But I sensed it. And my God, one week after the man dropped dead. What do you reconcile that with one's personal political ambitions, though? Because we're looking at what the CEO aspires to and how he went about it. The People's United Party has rules. And conventions are not open. Today we are having a meeting at two o'clock to decide if conventions will be open or not. I want to see the cherry picking. I really want to see it. But I called Mike and said, Mike, anybody that goes after you, I am willing to go with you to a convention and stand beside you because your soul will stand with you. He said, why? The last man I think will call me and tell me that. It's a matter of principle. It's a matter of respect. It's a matter of dignity. And if we can't have that, we're lost. That's how I feel.
