It appears that Christian Dunleavy's theory as to why Labour Minister Randy Horton was acting Premier at the Labour Day rally on Monday was incorrect.
On VSB news this evening, at a press conference about the ProActive affair, it emerged that Finance Minister Paula Cox currently holds the acting Premier title, presumably because Deputy Premier Dr. Ewart Brown is now off-Island. So much for ensuring continuity by only appointing one acting Premier while Alex Scott is away.

After asking around a little and watching the almost daily turn-over in Acting Premiers this week I've come to the conclusion that both parties appointed symbolic Acting Leaders for Labour Day.
Randy Horton as Minister of Labour makes complete sense for the PLP, and Kim Swan has been a strong voice in the UBP for workers and labour - particularly since joining the Senate he has really taken this on as his issue. I don't think Kim was chosen due to his race but due to his interest in labour.
The UBP have in the past had white members speak. I saw Michael Dunkley speak several years ago and Dr. Gibbons as well if memory serves.
