candidates locked in a three-way primary election battle for Paget West.

Mr. Tim Smith and Mr. Terry West spoke of spearheading youthful revolutions for change.

The third candidate, Mr. Mark Selley, meanwhile, announced himself as the "student of life.'' And he told how he had been toughened recently by personal tragedy -- a stroke which left him partially paralysed.

The three hopefuls unveiled their leadership packages at a face-the-people meeting at St. Paul's Church Education Centre in Paget.

Around 60 people, virtually all white, turned up to listen and fire questions.

Mr. Smith told them of a revolution stirring within the UBP, and throughout Bermuda.

"I, like you, want to refocus Government. I believe that there is already a fundamental change taking place, brought about, in part, by the newer and younger aspiring politicians. I just want to pump up the volume a bit.'' Mr. Smith listed improvements he would work towards if in power. These included: tax breaks for those wishing to open day care centres; more contracting out of work by Government; and a partnership between the Education Ministry and local business to boost job opportunities for students.

Labelling the theme of his campaign "a call to community action,'' Mr. West said: "We have to figure out how to actually bring about change.

"My answer lies with mobilising the community. I believe it is only through unified, cohesive, and well-managed community action that we can create a brighter future for ourselves and our children.'' On education, Mr. West said good teachers and school officials should be promoted -- bad ones penalised.

Mr. Selley stressed the need for a return to family values, and talked of boosting child support.

He also said he backed secret ballots before strike action. PHOTO Mr. Terry West.
