Leadership Crisis
In early 2009, the Antigua Labour Party faced an internal leadership crisis. The aging Lester Bird announced that if the ALP fails to win the forthcoming 2009 general election, he will step down. There had been speculation that even if the ALP won the 2009 election, Bird's leadership will be challenged. Nevertheless, as of December 2011, Bird remains ALP leader.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or crisis:
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
