Why Zead Llyod Should Stay Out of Homeland Politics

Why Zead Llyod Should Stay Out of Dominican Politics

Let’s be real: You haven’t lived in your Dominica for a decade or more, you have no business voting in its elections or dictating its policies.  

A recent statement put it bluntly: "A person in the diaspora living for 10 years should not come back and vote—they’re disconnected from the day-to-day reality of the island." And you know what? They’re absolutely right.  We don't want tour disconnected advise Periot.

1. You Don’t Live Here, So You Don’t Feel the Consequences

- Voting isn’t just a right—it’s a responsibility. And that responsibility means living with the results of the policies you support.  

- How can someone who enjoys Donald Trump's policies, first-world unaffordable healthcare truly understand what it’s like to live in the Caribbean?  

- You left. That’s fine. But don’t pretend you still know what’s best for the people who never love their country Dominica and have no intention on leaving.

2. Zead Lloyd your Nostalgia Isn’t a Policy Plan

- Many diaspora members are stuck in the past, remembering a homeland that no longer exists.  

- You might think you know what’s needed because you grew up there, but economies change, societies change, and struggles evolve.  

- Your advice from 10, 20, or 50 years ago is irrelevant. The people on the ground know what’s happening right now.

3. If You Really Cared, You’d Come Back  

- Remittances are helpful, but money doesn’t equal lived experience.  

- If you’re so passionate about “fixing” the homeland, why not return and contribute directly?  

- Until then, your opinions are just basement armchair activism—easy to preach from a distance, with no skin in the game.  

The Hard Truth: Stay in Your Lane

This isn’t about hate—it’s about fairness. You chose to leave.  The people still there are the only ones to vote or discuss politics .  

So unless you’re ready to move back, pay taxes here, and live under the government you vote for, keep your political opinions to yourself.
