You can find it all at CIA WORLD FACTBOOK PAGE that eerie digital black book the has all the stats you could ever want on a country.Theres even a printable version so you can keep all of it right at your fingertips.

Unless you are a resident of the island or region I'm not quite sure why our current affairs or politics would interest you but the following websites do make for some pretty entertaining and informative reading all the same.

BARBADOS FREE PRESS - This blog seeks to keep the government and news media of Barbados honest.It can occasionally get a bit sensationalist itself but I would still highly recommend it as i raises some important issues and has a very active comments section

BARBADOS UNDERGROUND- This blog is similar to Barbados Free Press, but is better written and slightly more to the point.

NATION NEWS - This is the website of the bestselling Barbadian Newspaper.Nice for Weather and Local Headlines.

THE BARBADOS ADVOCATE- this is the website of the opposing, less popular newspaper...although i prefer the nation I like the setup of this website better

BARBADOS LABOUR PARTY - Blog of the Ruling Party

DEMOCRATIC LABOUR PARTY - Blog of the Opposition
