Our man in hot water
Article Abstract:
Local opposition to Martin Bourke, the governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is just one example of growing opposition to governors and governors-general of the UK's current or former West Indian colonies. Local politicians are now using defiance of the UK's representative as a way of gaining popular support. The main area of contention is the amount of power which the governor is allowed to exercise.
