Montserrat 411 News

Signing of this agreement is a commitment to the people of Montserrat that you as a potential member of the Legislative Council will seek to address the issues in the attached document throughout your political tenure. Refusal to sign the document by August 27, 2009 indicates your unwillingness to be held accountable should you be voted to political office and speaks volumes to the electorate.
