| Date set for Belize General Elections (1281 words) |
| Belize needs a government with a fresh mandate, not one nearing the end of its term and preoccupied with elections, to face the many new problems resulting from unfolding world events beyond our control. |

| The people of Belize do not need to be treated to a parade of lies, misrepresentations, slander, abuse and violence to decide how to exercise their sacred right to vote for the representatives of their choice. |
