Allen Chastanet not only failed on the issue of home affairs, but he also failed on foreign diplomatic affairs. So, Reporter 1 observed that people have some anger regarding mismanagement in a hard time of coronavirus. So they are eagerly waiting for a change in the government. Leslie Charles, the resident of Castries, said, " We gave Allen Chastanet for five years, but he failed to fulfil our wishes; most importantly, we didn't get support from the government during the pandemic time. " Reporter observation 1 : Our Reporter observed that people have experienced that as the country's infrastructure suddenly halted after 2016, so they felt very deprived as compared to other Caribbean countries. They also experienced huge job losses on the ground level. " Lucita Florius, another resident of Castries, stated that her husband lost her job due to this pandemic, also her brother Mark who has a shop of vegetables that used to supply vegetables in the hotel before 2016, but after the Chastanet government, he used to involved in unlawful activities. Reporter observation 3 : Our reporter has observed in several months; people are feeling very unsafe in the small Island country, increases in homicide reflect as major concerns, people are killed like animals, there are serval reasons behind increases in-country and unemployment are considering as the main factor. Edward, the resident of Canaries, said, " Honestly, I voted UWP in the year 2016, and for last three years, I'm regretting my major mistake; we really want SLP in this election, though I was a hardcore supporter of UWP.
