On his show Honestly Speaking, Pastor Claude O. Skelton-Cline stated that politics has become the primary focus of the people in the Virgin Islands, surpassing faith.

He believes this shift has led to division and selfishness within the community. According to Skelton-Cline, the desire for power has intensified, with many individuals aspiring to become Premier.

This has resulted in a pronounced division in the territory over the past decade.
