I do not recall Lester Bird's ALP being a minority government in 1993. It could have happened, but the members of his party who were making the threat (Longford Jeremy and Gaston Browne) were appeased by getting a ministerial portfolio and getting Asot Michael's portfolios removed respectively.

There seems to me to be a great deal unsaid on this page. I appreciate he is still alive, and so one must be careful to support any comments that are made, but much of the publicity surrounding Bird over the last few years do not appear to even be touched upon here. --Legis (talk - contributions) 14:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

It is clear that the recent election in Antigua and Barbuda has resulted in biased edits to Lester Bird's page. Beginning on Feb 21, a long list of negative additions were made to the page, and then on Mar 15, the whole page was changed to one that puts Bird in a positive light. The page clearly needs a substantial rewrite to meet NPOV guidelines. GhostWhoVotes (talk) 09:04, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

biography was edited heavily

There was a previous biography of him about a week earlier and it seems like this current one has taken out factual information that is not positive toward him............ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.37 (talk) 16:37, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
