Can't these idiots just MAKE A DECISION?! Stop wasting money asking us every single thing. It's not like they follow through and do what we vote for anyway. Put the bills forward. Pass the laws. Stop this laziness you call governing, Christie! Man up. Do what you want, and then carry the blame for it.

There should be no need to even ask the question on equality, make it happen. Gender slavery and discrimination is what it equates to in a patriarchal society...me man...you only get what me give you...(pounding chest like the apes that you are). Unless it MUST be put in a referendum for constitutional purposes by law, don't waste the peoples time and money on a solo referendum that should be a non-issue anyways. This one is a no brainer.

It is required by law to have a referemdum. The OPINION POLL for the gaming houses WAS NOT required by law or by logic.

Fair enough...referendum it is...let's get it over with and give the gals what's right and fair.

Please don't.
Those folks who are against oral sex will come out and vote no.

[ohdrap incarnating the tribune's most flamboyant poster]

Bahamalanders are not buying into the government's myth about gender equality. It isn’t even a reality yet in the government's workforce where it requires no million dollar taxpayers funded referendum for approval. Why don't the daughters, wives and sisters of PLP MP's not have the same income and advancement opportunities as they and their their male counterparts have? What about prominent government men's not supporting the mothers who give birth to they out wedlock baby girls? That my dear Comrades is no myth.

Me tarzan you jane...you stay home and cook...at least until I get you pregnant, then I leave you and you have to fight for yourself!!

Haven't we already been this way before - and didn't the then opposition oppose it?? Do we think it will be different this time round? Altho I do seem to recall Darron Cash supporting the recent Immigration fiasco - or did I just make that up??

Referendum presented by the FNM to get this done and dusted, but the PLP launched a campaign against it and got it defeated...but hey, now everything is rosie, and they can pass what should have been passed years ago, under their watch...brilliance!!

Cash was supporting it.

And yes, the PLP did oppose this a few years back. Craziness.
We want our people to stay dumb and dangerous.

B-I-D

Thats NIGnorance, borrowed from Duck Dynasty!!!!!! lol

That black woman has advanced far beyond that point.

Look around.................... where do you LIVE?????????????????

We need to pay attention to the young black man of The Bahamas

**He is the endangered species courtesy of the "founding fathers" of the country**.

Insanity given the typical Bahamian Male attitude towards the fairer sex!
Emancipation was apparently for men only,
For Gods sake, pose the question in the negative for equality!
IE Yes, we should leave things alone, NO= make it right!
Bahamians do nothing but vote against, no matter the topic or sensibility!
I agree, referendum only if required by the Constitution, otherwise just do it!

How about a referendum on CAPITAL PUNISHMENT? Better yet, how about a referendum on VAT?

Pure Irony. This was the issue that the PLP campaigned against when Hubert Ingraham proposed it, and now it warrants a referendum. Someone please stop the mad man.

good point rory................................ lol

Perry playin wit house money

How about a referendum to have a referendum [ lol ]

I'm going to vote 'no' on every referendum the PLP has just for spite. This issue came up before when the FNM was in power and the PLP urged everybody to vote 'no' just because they saw political advantage to themselves for it. And all but 3 constituencies in the country voted it down, too. So they blew it for themselves - plenty of women voted no when it would have been to their advantage to vote yes.
So I'm voting 'no' - I don't even care if I agree with it (and I probably will) I'm voting no anyway.

He's grasping at straws trying to find something to prove he has support of the Bahamian people. That's why the referendum has been dumbed down to a sole non controversial issue, politically he can't take another defeat.

As Minister of Finance, I don't understand what he's doing.. that warning from Standard and Poors that we could be spiralling to junk status and he doesn't even blink, he continues to drive full speed towards the cliff. Cancel this referendum, cancel the survey. They are two massive, expensive, time consuming initiatives and they are not an absolute necessity. Cut Fred Mitchell's budget. Either cancel the proposed festival or water it down. Is there enough time to properly prepare? It would be really damaging to put on an ill prepared event. Think of it, we know Junkanoo comes at the end of every year and we still haven't gotten that timed right.

We're having the relays and I know they will make money, just hoping the return is sufficient to justify the cost. I don't know if we will wow anyone into returning, Nassau is simply too unkempt, it's nasty, it needs order, the signs have to go, they're everywhere in haphazard disorganized unsightly displays, they look nasty. So shocked to see four huge billboards on that short stretch of Montague. Who allowed that? And 10 ft down the once beautiful mini hedge has now been allowed to grow into a mangy bush.

Jeez, can't this administration make a decision on anything?? Just give Bahamian women what they deserve - equal rights, plain and simple. No need to waste money on a referendum.
