Title
Barbados Democratic Labour Party badge
Description
Post-independence, political parties vied for their electorates’ votes. Errol Barrow’s Democratic Labour Party led Barbados from 1966 to 1976. The DLP were in opposition when they produced these campaigning materials. In 1978 the resignation of Frederick G. Smith in the St Michael South Central seat triggered a by-election. The badge, car stickers and leaflet show the party’s efforts to regain its majority at a local level.
