    Seven senior members of the ruling Antigua Labour Party has written to 81 year old Prime Minister, Dr. Vere Bird, Snr. to resign from politics before 14th March, 1991. This report seeks to find out how firm is the seven Ministers and their resolve to see the Prime Minister go and how likely will CARICOM’s longest serving leader give up without a fight. This development is shaping up as the most critical week in the modern history of Antigua’s politics. The government under the leadership of Dr. Bird Snr. is in a midst of a constitutional crisis highlighted by his inability to present last week’s budget in a legally and procedurally required manner. Several political figures in Antigua provide their insights into the political crisis facing the country.
